So as I sip on my Strawberry-Banana-Pineapple Smoothie after at 95+ degree day I though you all (notice not y'all) should know how the week has been going so far.
Sunday, Ben and I went to Grace Bible Church. And while we liked the church it was very different than what we are both use to and we compared it to Mars Hill in Grand Rapids. We probably won't be going back there but it was mentioned to us by a professor at Calvin so we thought we would give it a try. The rest of the day we just relaxed around here.
Monday, Ben went to school for a bit to get things organized but wasn't there more that 1/2 hr since it is technically his day off from school. The rest of the day we just did some more errands, got groceries, and continued to unpack.
Tuesday, was Ben's longest day at school but it really didn't go as bad as he thought it was going to go. He taught two labs. The first one was a bit frustrating to him and he felt frazzled because he wasn't quite sure what he was supposed to do. The second went great, he was relaxed and things went great. Ben got home about 8 and we just ate some chicken sandwiches and relaxed.
Today, Ben didn't have to be to school until 11am so we had a big breakfast, and cleaned a bit more. Ben had to teach one lab today and then had to be in the help room for an hour. So total, Ben has 58 students in three different labs. He had them write an interesting fact about themselves on a piece of paper and got quite interesting responses... ones on the equestrian team, one from Ohio, one drives a burnt orange car, one is left handed, one told Ben her entire birthday so that he could send her a present, and one had no interesting thing about himself. Needless to say, we had a few laughs at their expense.
But otherwise things are going great. As much as we feel like we are a part of a foreign country down here with all the y'all's, and that we need a large 3500, 1 ton, Heavy Duty Dodge Truck to fit we are great :) I did have two people ask me for directions today! So we must being doing ok around here.
I hope all is well at home. You are all missed!

Diane, it does get better. Random question for you. You're the closest people outside of Houston that I know. If Gustav hits, can I crash at your place for a day or so? Probably won't happen, but you never know. And trust me, it does get better...just don't get pulled over, TX cops are not ver nice.
