Fall Is In The Air

I haven't posted in awhile because I have been so busy. I am having a good school year but just couldn't seem to get caught up. I am still slightly behind on grading papers but I think I can see the light. All in all, things are going very well for my family. I started graduate school and I love it. I was so worried that I would drown in all of the work but I am finding that it is quite manageable and I am grateful. I am loving meeting with fellow teachers and learning. I didn't realize how much I had missed it. Michael is still doing well in Middle School. I am so glad. Really, there is just not too much to complain about and what a wonderful feeling that is! Oh, and I forgot to say that Team M&M did so well at the Autism Walk. I didn't get to go because of my class but my sisters, nieces and cousins as well as Mark's parents were there and they reported a huge amount of walkers over the ones last year. As of right now, we have raised $3,010.00 and are in 5th place in the state. I am really proud of our team. As I have said for the last four years, we will walk until there is a cause and a cure for autism. I have our first event planned for November to get ready for next year's walk. Little by little, research is finding answers. I just feel in my heart that a huge breakthrough is coming.

Tomorrow is the first day of fall. I am ready for the beautiful leaves and the cooler temperatures. What a great part of the world we live in! :)
