Coming Up for Air

I had an unexpected day off today...thought it was tomorrow...but I'm not complaining!
Teaching a class of 34 is a tad bit overwhelming but I adore each and everyone of those kids already. It's a lot like parenting...you learn the most by just being "on the job."

Before the whirlwind of this week descended though, Dan and I escaped to Flagstaff, Arizona to see Steve Martin and the Steep Canyon Rangers perform at Pepsi Amphitheater. Several weeks ago, when Dan indicated that all he wanted for his birthday was to have me see them in concert with him, I decided to go against my prudent nature (like...how I can leave town the weekend before school starts?) be spontaneous and seemingly crazy, and drive 7 hours, one way, to see the show.

Let me just say that Dan really gave me the gift. It was a quick but perfect get away from the phone, the doorbell, yes...even church meetings, and all work of prepping for the new school year. And the show was nothing short of AMAZING. I highly recommend it! 



Thank you Flagstaff for permeating pine fresh air and a spectacular starry night.

Good luck with school!
