Rain, Rain, Go Away!

It has been a nasty, rainy last 10 days in NC!  I am not complaining, though.  The south has dealt with drought conditions the last few years, so it is wonderful not having that problem.  Not to mention, the rain is keeping the temperature down!

Sad news...  My principal sent out an email today informing us that the parent of one of our (last year) 2nd graders had died in a car accident when a man crossed the center line.  This just hurts my heart.  Most of our students will face so many challenges in life because of their circumstances.  It is so unfair to add a tragedy on top.  I will definitely be praying for this student.

On to good news... I will be heading up to the "mountains" with friends tomorrow for the 4th.  I'm not exactly sure where the mountains/cabin are, but that's where we're going.  I'm assuming near Boone (I'm geographically challenged) since we'll be viewing fireworks {hopefully the rains hold out} there.  It should be a nice, relaxing time.  I feel like I have been living out of my Vera duffle for weeks now.  Really, I have...  I'll be headed back up to VA in a week or so to watch the dog while the brother travels on Navy business.  I'm developing a love for Fredericksburg, though. :)

Happy 4th of July, y'all!!
