Yesterday was Jared's first day at his new job. He's enjoying it so far--helpful co-workers, a relaxed atmosphere, etc. We hope this will be a long-term place for him!
My job is going ok, too. Administration and I have spoken about next year's possibilities, so I'll be waiting to see where that goes. My students will have an Easter egg hunt on Thursday--I think we have close to 375 eggs to share amongst the 20 of them. I won't be there, though....I'm taking the day off to travel to Alabama with my family. My mother's side of the family gets together for an Easter reunion every year. It'll be hard to be there around everyone and not say anything about Jellybean.
I have both grandmothers left in this world, but they both have developed dementia. One doesn't know me from a rabbit, the other calls me everything from Bethany to Maribell to trying to order lunch from me. It makes me a little sad that, even if they live long enough to be great-grandmothers (for the sixth time, in one of the cases, the first in the other), that they won't understand or comprehend it, and will not be able to develop a relationship with their great-grandchild.
On the other side of the coin, Jared's grandmother is quick-witted, smart-mouthed, has at least one glass of wine a day and Wednesdays are naked days. Mmhm.
