3/4 of the year done!

Hello all, wanted to just say hello and let you know how things are going. Next week is finals week at my school, which means we are three-fourths of the way done with the school year! It's hard to believe. I feel like I finally hit my stride this quarter, after a fairly discouraging second quarter. As a reminder, we live in Colorado now, in a town called Castle Rock, about a half-hour south of Denver. We like it here so far. I must say I don't miss those dreary and cold Ohio winter days. We have had an unusually warm winter here (it's sunny and 70 degrees today and I'm sitting here with the door open and the breeze blowing in).
I am helping coach girls' soccer (it's in the spring here). We have our first game tomorrow (super pumped). I've never coached girls before and was kinda nervous because everyone told me to expect a lot of drama. But it has been a lot of fun so far.
I really like the high school I'm at. It's only three years old and the teachers and admin are great. Everyone is really motivated to be there and enjoys teaching.
We had a bond fail last November, which really sucks, so there is a teencie chance I might loose my job. I'm staying positive and hoping for the best. If that happens, I might be on my way back to Ohio.
Hope to hear from some of you soon. Tell us all what you are doing. If you can't figure out how to post here, send me an email at jmneal11@aol.com
