Well, I'm here

Things are going good so far. It's kind of wierd trying to get used to a new job since I had been at my last one for almost six years. Which I know isn't a lot in the whole scheme of things but it seemed like a long time. Anyways, the drive down went pretty fast. Once I got through Nashville it seemed to slow down a little bit because I knew I was getting a lot closer but for the most part it was a good trip down. Oh wait- except for that cop who gave me a ticket.... I'm not unpacked all the way yet. There's not a whole lot of storage space and what is here is already pretty much full. So I'm to the point where I just sit and stare at the rest of my stuff cause I'm not sure what to do with it. Monday night we went to someone's house for supper. For future reference I'll give a brief overview of who I'll be spending most of my time with so I don't have to explain who they are each time I mention them. Melissa Slagel is my roommate. She just turned 25 and has been here for about 2 1/2 years. So far we get along real good but we've only been together two days. But she's very nice. Her sister and brother in law (Kerwin and Sarah Edleman) and their kids (Jessica, Amber and Emily) live in Tennessee and take care of the Fellowship Center. All the Slagels/Edlemans were from Fairbury before they came down here. Mark Klauss is I think 30 something and has been here for maybe 10 or 11 years. He has already given me a nickname because he says there's too many Sarah's around. The first time he got confused as to which Sarah Melissa was talking about he was eating chips. So for now, I am Chip. I'm not sure how I feel about it so we'll see how long it lasts. Mike Moore is the minister down here. Him and his wife Pam have two boys, Matthew and Luke who are both in high school. Louise Hall and Doris Moore are the other two teachers and live here permantly. Tonight is we have a singing instead of church. They always have a singing the first Wednesday of the month. But so far everything is fine. I haven't cried since I've been here which is hopefully a good sign. Well my break is almost over so I'm going to go.
