Another busy week

Can't believe another busy week has flown by! Last Saturday we enjoyed a leisurely afternoon on Tim's Uncle Danny's boat. He took us out on the Mississippi for a few miles and back. It was a lovely afternoon with Tim's parents and brother Jeff and family.

It was good to get some rest last weekend. Tuesday was the start of school for Christina and all the Bethel students. Christina is working hard on her PSEO class, World Religions. She seems to be off to a good start to the school year, except for the fact that she's not participating in sports this fall due to her health. She had a tough day one day this week, but she stayed at school and has been feeling great ever since. We're keeping a close eye on her, and encouraging her to get home early and to get plenty of sleep and eat a bit more healthy food. So far, so good! It also helps that we now have health cards.

It's been fun to have Luke home and back in the school groove, too. He's enjoying his classes, especially his ethics class, which is taught by one of Tim's friends from Solomon's Porch, an emergent church that we've been attending lately on Sunday evenings. Small world.

Last night I went out to a Registrar's dinner with new friends from Bethel's Seminary of the East and West (San Diego). There is a faculty retreat this weekend at our St. Paul Seminary campus, and some staff from the other seminaries are attending as well. Bethel's Seminary of the East has several campuses, but the main office is in Philadelphia. I'm hoping they may have a registration coordinator (my position) training session in San Diego about mid-January. That sounds reasonable, right?

Heading into another busy week--first full week of the school year. Christina has an overnight retreat at the end of the week with her school. It's always a good time of team building. I think she'll have a good senior year. Not sure what next year will hold, but I'm thankful she can get one college class credit while she's still in high school. Now, to see if Mark is interested in college....

Till next time,
