I attended Jim's funeral this morning, it was hard, but definitely brought a sense of closure. One of the coolest parts of it all was that we walked away with a rose from Shirley. Whitney asked why, and Shirley told us that she just wanted to show us how much we all meant to Jim. It was touching for sure.

We've started week of fun at Saranam. By that I mean, week that drives Laura crazy. I like planning to do things, but I don't always like the actual doing of things with lots of kids. It is fun, but certainly not my favorite part of the job. I guess we're supposed to get 3-5 inches of snow tonight/tomorrow, and that should make for some fun times here in Albuquerque. Did I mention that no one knows how to drive in snow here? Awesome. I'll be up early to scope the scene and make sure we can still have our day of fun planned. If not, well then I'll just be able to get the other work done that has slipped through the cracks in the last week. I am so ready for Christmas it isn't even funny.

I'm off to a Christmas party tonight, a busy day tomorrow, a busy day Wednesday and then it is time to head to the great state of Illinois. There I'll have people to see, an article to write, a resume to work on and seminaries to apply to. Ha. Like that looks like a vacation at all. Oh well, all in fun! (minus the applications and resume stuff, that isn't ever fun)
