Testing Is Almost Behind Me

Boy, it's been a long two weeks! We got the primary tests checked into the District Test Coordinator yesterday and have one more day of testing for fifth graders. After the make-up testing and coding is complete we'll finally move on to something else. I'm way past ready. I've been battling a sinus infection and finally gave into it today and stayed in bed. I've had a shot and have begun antibiotics, but my headache will not subside. It's been hard to be at work every day at 7:00 to check out the tests and work after hours to get things reorganized for the next when I've been feeling yucky. Thankfully, we're almost finished with testing for the year, (at least the part that I'm responsible for coordinating.)

The weather lately hasn't helped our moods or the house repairs. It's been a little depressing around here. I sure wish the weather would turn nice and stay that way for a while. I'm wanting to see some sunshine. I've heard from some of our friends this week that I've not heard from in a while. It's always good to hear from all of you. We're going to a meeting Saturday night to hear an exciting presentation about the Mona-vie product that Randy and I have begun to distribute and the other business opportunities. Hopefully, we'll see some of you there. I've sent an e-mail to inform many of our friends who have not discussed this new venture with us lately. I think there will be a pretty good turn-out at the meeting for us.

At the meeting yesterday with our counselor, Bob, we discussed the possibility of having a gathering on May 31st to support each other through the day. Let me know your thoughts on this idea. I know it will be a hard day for all of us, but maybe it will make it a little more bearable if we're together enjoying each other's company. I've not made any plans yet, but I'd love to hear everyone's ideas. Get back with me when you get a chance. It will be here before we know it. We never forget you, Trav. You're with us every day in our hearts. I cannot believe that you've been gone for almost a year already. My pain still feels so fresh. Your mommy will always ache to feel you in her arms, baby. I don't see how time will ever take that aching away. However, I trust that God can and will help me to fill this emptiness with the joy of having you with me for 25 wonderful years and the promise of everlasting life with all of my loved ones, especially you.
