Hot, hot, hot!

Once again it is extremely hot and humid in the Chicagoland area and I am not a fan. It never seemed to bother me that much until recently. I guess I really like to be outside and like to take Abby outside but in this nasty weather it just isn't gonna happen. Abby touches anything outside and says "hot". It's pretty funny.
I realized yesterday that I'm kinda going stir-crazy. It's too hot to be outside but I get bored inside. I love being home with Abby and spending so much time with her but I miss my job too. I realized that I have to be thankful for what I have and stop always wishing for things that I don't. I love my husband and daughter, my entire family, my friends and my job. How many people can say that? I have to learn to be content. That is my prayer right now...to really be content with my life. God has blessed me and I have lost too many people in my life to not cherish every single day.

First Blog!

Well, being that I am a technology teacher I thought it was fitting that I start a blog and it seems that everybody else and their brother has a blog too....so...hear I am! Anyway..I thought it might be a nice way for everyone that lives far away to stay up to date on what's happening in our lives.
I am starting my 4th year teaching at Bednarcik Jr. High School in Oswego and right now I am enjoying my summer break and spending the days with Abigail. She is growing up so fast and I cannot believe that she is doing some of the things she is! Time sure flies! She's 18 months old now and is talking up a storm. This week she is in love with puzzles! Tim is still working at Argonne National Labs and continues to enjoy what he's doing there. We have been blessed with wonderful family and friends and are excited for what the future holds for us as a family!
