We don't have a TV at our house, so a couple of nights a week we go over to Ben's house to watch something and just veg out for awhile. On Monday, I was over watching TV while Christina had a training session to attend. As I was laying on the couch watching The Big Bang Theory, we heard pounding at the door. Just as Ben opened the door to tell his students to come by another time, they snuck past him and came inside.
It's a regular occurrence to have kids show up at your door and ask "Can we visit?"
Of course, "visiting" usually entails rooting through your DVDs and other items of interest...
...and distracting you while one sneaks off to your bedroom...
Before you know it, they're all hanging out in your room!
...and rooting through your freezer for ice cream sandwiches!
Finally, Ben corrals them out into his cold room....
Only to discover that some of his DVDs are missing...
Notice that I haven't gotten up once to help...Nope, clearly the episode playing out in Ben's kitchen is more entertaining than the one on TV!
In other news, we purchased our flights home for the summer this week and also received our contracts for next year. While we're looking forward to some time off to relax with friends and family and the experience of new parenthood this summer, we're also excited to say that we'll be returning to Goodnews Bay for a second year in August. As challenging as this year has been, we've seen major improvements in our students and in the school climate and we want to be a part of the continued growth here next year. We're also excited for our upcoming Spring Break next week. On Friday, we'll be jumping on a plane and flying to Anchorage for some much needed R&R, shopping, and sightseeing. Stay tuned for our next post from Anchorage!
