Over the last year or so we've gone through a lot of changes. I've been working at a Tucson charter school for the last year as a science instructor and the National Honor Society advisor, and I didn't realize how much I actually enjoy teaching, though I could do without the hormonal and snotty teenagers. I'm also looking to get on as adjunct faculty at Pima Community College in biology, if anyone has connections over there. I just got called as the Sunday School President in our ward and I'm looking forward to the challenge, as well as not having to stay after church every Sunday to do tithing!
Nancy is playing chauffeur to the kids, since they go to three different schools and she's also driving around a friend's children to those same schools. Next year will be better as Joram and Kiran will be at the same location. She's also the 2nd counselor in the Relief Society Presidency, which occupies much time as well.
Our littlest one, Marici, just turned 1 last Wednesday, and we had a little party in Safford with family to celebrate (pictures to come later). She walking all over the house, and saying as much as she can, including mama, dada, and possibly even nice when she was petting the cat.
Nisha just finished preschool (which Nancy organized and ran!) and is headed in to kindergarten, though we may home school her this year because we don't like the kindergarten teachers at the school. We already suffered through them with both Joram and Kiran. Kiran is finishing up kindergarten and will be heading into first grade next year. She just started playing chess at school just this year and competed in her first tournament a few weeks back. Joram is finishing 3rd grade and is too smart for his own good. His team placed third in state for chess this year as well.
Our family is growing and flourishing. Our Amway business has undergone some changes and we're looking forward to the great things that will soon come because of it. My mentor, Ross Bingham, and I just flew back to Charlotte last month to learn about the new changes, and it took us a few days to process the new and exciting information. Our last year has been fun, but our next year is going to be so much better. I just hope it isn't another year before I get back on here and share our lives again. Until next time...
