Week 7



This week is week 7 of our quarter. This quarter I am teaching 5 classes. Last quarter I taught 3. I really am enjoying teaching. Currently we are just 2 weeks away from the AVMA (our accrediting body) coming for a site visit to review our accreditation. This means that we are very busy trying to make sure "all the I's are dotted and T's are crossed." This also means the stress level has kicked up a whole lot more notches. I was a little bit stressed just with classes and getting lessons planned and papers graded. This has added a whole new level.

Last weekend we drove to Michigan to meet our newest Niece, Abel. We had the honor of attending and celebrating her baptism with much of the family. We got to see Nick's brother and family from Texas, including our nephew, Nick's parents, Nick's sister (Bel's mom) and family and her in-laws. The Grunklee family is a great family.

The trip was great, but a lot of driving in a few short days. We left Friday am, drove 11 1/2 hours to make it to Bay City around 8pm local time. We left Sunday and drove to Valpo Indiana where my cousin, Heidi lives. Amy, Heidi's sister, was also there. It was fun to have dinner and visit with them and catch some of the olympics. Monday morning we headed out and arrived home about 4pm. It was a fast trip with lots of driving, but the weather was good and we got to see a lot of family. :D
Here is a picture of me and Bel.

Just kidding. But I'd like it better if it had paws and a tail. Lol
