Getting Nervous
Only one more full day, and it's off for the camping trip. Seymen and I spent the afternoon at my mom's house. When mom and Bill came home from crusing, they sent us to Wegmans to buy dinner food. We also bought supplies for the camping trip. Hershey's bars, cheez-its, sun chips in a red bag, charcoal, plates, cups, utentsils, napkins, TP, that sort of stuff. Chrissy finally come home too. She was only home for about 15 minutes before we had to leave for Wegmans, but she like my hair cut and the highlights. Both are pretty subtle, so she was a fan. My mom liked the highlights as well.
Anyway, I'm getting really nervous about the camping trip. Seymen is "betting" that I come home after the first night. He said that he'll believe it when he see's it, that I'm a good camper ;o) But it's all good. I think I'll be OK. I bought a bottle of bug spray, I"m taking his sleeping bag, and my dad's Chevy Envoy...So if things get rough, in the car Beth will sleep ;-) Every minute that passes, I'm feeling more and more excited about Tucson...The lap of luxury compared to the great outdoors. But then, doesn't that make me WELL ROUNDED for this vacation?!?
Let's see. I had my 2nd meeting and first official class with my learner. I think it went really well! She said that I was a "cool" teacher, and she is so happy that I am her teacher. (It was definitely the pastel colored index cards, and the crayola markers that I impressed her ;-) We use those for vocabulary words that we put into an evelope with our names on them ;-) Anyway, I'm very excited for the teaching. She seemed to like the content for the next few lessons that I have planned. Unfortunately, she's a bit more advanced than the books that I planned on using...so I will have to re-visit the Literacy Library when I return from vacation...I think that I need more "grammer books". But we learned about road tests, and filling out job applications today...so it was productive and informative to her. Oh and I met her son. He's adorable. He looks like all the Turkish childeren I've seen at the Turkish society...with these HUGE chocolate chip eyes. He wouldn't really talk to me, but he would smile and wave, then run behind his mom and peek at me :-)
So tomorrow will should be a nice holiday day for us as well. We're having a BBQ at my mom's house. Just a small one with a few friends, but it'll be nice to sit outside and soak in the rays, float in the poool and play with the puppy.
Anyway, gotta go. Seymen is making fun of my typing. Good night!!

We are only camping at a state park. There are bathroom, shower and or car will be 3 feet away. You making it sound like you are on a Mt Everest Expedition.
But I do advise you to be perpare for some rain.
And you might want to get a floor mat to sleep on.
See you tomorrow
