The last few days have been different now that Derek has taken off on his ship for a few weeks. I realized that this was the first time since we'd met that we had gone for more than a day without communicating in some way with one another. Luckily I didn't have to wait more than a few days. I got a few emails from Derek today!! It was such a nice surprise. I wasn't sure when I would be able to hear from him.
It sounds like Derek is doing well out on the ship! No sea sickness and he's able to get a good amount of sleep. He is enjoying his time familiarizing himself with procedures and the people he works with. Hopefully I will get to hear from him most every day, so I can keep everyone else updated.
As for me, I am doing what I can to keep busy. I have spent the last two days at school working on bulletin boards and sorting through my boxes. I am waiting for the custodians to move the other things (that are from the old literacy roon) out so that I can start getting unpacked and organized.
Yesterday I got to spend some time with Crystal, who I will be teaming up with teaching 5th grade. She is awesome! I am really blessed with the school I got placed in. There are great people so far who are going out of their way to make me feel welcomed and at home here in an area where I know no one. They have invited me to a couple 'gatherings' this weekend and next and we might even go see Zac Brown Band on the 12th! I'm glad I am able to find things to keep me busy while Derek is away. I can't wait for him to get home!
The apartment is pretty much unpacked and organized, minus a few little things. If I had a working camera, I would take photos and post, but mine is dead and Derek has his out on the ship. So, photos will have to wait. Or maybe I'll go buy a new camera....;-)
