My, oh my, how time does fly!

Tim and I were just talking tonight how about a year ago at this time we found out about Quality Schools International (QSI). That seriously seems like yesterday. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and we can hardly believe it is November. Things truly are very different in a foreign country. We are having a Thanksgiving lunch at school tomorrow. School is still in session. Then we are having a big Thanksgiving dinner for all of the staff and their families on Friday night at school. We priced turkeys here. A 10-12 pound Butterball turkey is $55. We didn't buy it. Fortunately that is something that the school does splurge on and we are very excited about that. I will miss Mom and Dad's stuffing. There is no pork sausage available here. No one eats pork. I'm rather bummed about that. I will really miss the Macy's Thanksgiving parade, but I might be able to find it online somewhere. Living overseas you really discover what you are thankful for. We are so thankful for all of you. We love you and miss you all but we know we are in the right place. I pray we are being molded to be used the way God wants us to be. I know we are trying to listen to and for His voice. We love you all so much. We wish for you all a wonderful Thanksgiving. Even though we aren't there in body, we will be there in Spirit. Happy Thanksgiving from each of us. Love, Tim, Heather, Jonathon and Joshua

What I've been doing

Hello people! I want to tell you what I have been doing over the past few weeks! I became a middle school student. They moved me up because the school realized that ( of course I already knew this) I am super duper smart! Woooooooooooo-Hoooooooooo! See, I already knew that I had smartical particles in my brainacal! So, in middle school it isn't too much different from the 6th grade, except for the fact that I now have 7 periods instead of 6. My schedule is as follows: Earth Science, Language Arts, Break, Foreign Language, Math, Lunch, Literature, Cultural Studies, and 7th period on Monday and Wednesday is Drama, Tuesday and Thursday is Typing, and on Friday I have Homeroom and Assembly. So, being a middle school student isn't ver scary to me at all! In fact, it's even more fun.
