BUSY

Sorry we haven't posted anything for awhile...it just has been a busy, busy few weeks. Last week grades were due, this week narratives for each student (which adds up as a Middle School and High School teacher) were due, next week is Book Week (displays need to be put up), the week after that is Earth Week (lots of planning), meetings, and on top of school stuff we've had sick kids, basketball games, soccer games, etc...Life has been busy.

So, this is just a quick note that we are still alive.

Funny quick story though...Last Saturday Gavin and I made a trip to IKEA. So glad they have one here. It was just nice to eat a normal meal and walk around and see normal things. Anyway, on our way there we took a taxi. CRAZY. The taxi driver didn't really seem to know where he was going and of course we can't communicate the best with him. He got on the freeway, which was fine, but as we passed IKEA on the left, he realized that he missed the exit. Of course instead of just continuing on to the next exit he stopped on a busy freeway in the middle of a lane to figure out what to do. Finally he pulled to the side of the road but started backing up onto the on ramp behind us. WHAT WAS HE THINKING???? There were a line of cars coming down the on ramp towards us and they all started honking and swerving out of the way. I thought we were going to die. We finally told him, through our broken Chinese, to just keep going straight and get off at the next exit. He looked at us like we were crazy but he finally did. Why was that so hard to figure out?

CRAZY!!!!!!!
