Finally Friday

After four days back at work for summer school, I am very ready for a break.  The last two years that I have taught summer school it has been half days.  This year, we are doing full days, which has its advantages money-wise, but not time-wise.  All that to say that I have quite a bit of catching up to do today and several errands to run.   

As for our trip to Fiji, it has been postponed.  Three people pulled out at the last minute, meaning that we lost our group rate for the plane tickets and therefore cannot travel when we had planned.  We are hoping that we will still be able to go and trusting that the poor planning of a few people will not keep two villages from getting clean water.

In great news, Kirk's mom and grandma will be arriving on Tuesday to spend a week with us to celebrate his 30th birthday.  I'm sure we'll have a great time with them.  This is their first trip to Grand Junction, so we have lots of things to show them.  I'm sure we'll take a drive up on the beautiful Colorado National Monument and maybe even on the Grand Mesa.  We don't get to spend much time with family, so we relish every moment.
