Okay...most of you probably think I feel off the face of the earth...The good news is that I haven't!!! My life is completely different now than it was a year ago...I am no longer teaching (no license, no teach)...I am now a full-time college student going for my teaching license...Only three and a half years to go
...My classes are going well and my grades are good (at least I'm passing)...I can't wait to be back in a classroom (as the teacher and not as the student)
...I am actually enjoying my homework...I love to think and I love to learn, so I guess I'm in the right place!! Love to you all - PennyJo -
I'm bringing Xanga back - drop a comment if you're with me!

Here's hoping that you will have a very merry Christmas, and that you will spend your new year focusing on Jesus and doing His will in your life. Be a History Maker in somebody's life during 2007. Ask God whose life you should touch, then do at least one thing every month to make that person's life a little better, or a little easier, or a little happier.
And just because I'm a picture kind of person, here are some old pics of my daughters for your viewing pleasure.
Here's Erika when she was...well, younger...notice the big red bow in her hair...
Melita used to be so dramatic when she open presents...here she is with Aunt Sue...
Erika, Melita and Jaymi in the Portage Christmas parade...James and I were Joseph and Mary, and you can see for yourself what part each of them played
This is Jaymi's first Christmas...she was 9 months old on Christmas day...she always did love her Uncle Don...
Erika and me and Aunt Sue's house...
Melita posing on Christmas at Grandpa and Grandma's house...
Jaymi was such a cute ballerina...
Erika still says she loved that coat from Grannie...
Melita in the Cornerstone Christmas program with Daddy and Marleen...
Jaymi the year Aunt Julie made her a copy of Felicity's party dress...
Well, hope you enjoyed my little stroll down memory lane. They certainly are older and taller and wiser now, as am I (well, I'm not any taller). Hope you have a good one!!

Hello, everyone...I hope you had a great Thanksgiving...it's hard to believe Christmas is so close. Okay, so today, Melita, Erika and I went to Michigan to visit some friends...we didn't get to see everyone we wanted to see (Angie-hint, hint), but we got to see Mark, Kevin and Michael...and I got to meet Kevin's sister, Nicole...Melita and Erika already knew her, but I just met her today...anyway, we went to Mark and Michael's house, then we went out to eat, then we went bowling (minus Mark and Michael, cuz Michael had to work and Mark had to do college homework)...it was fun, even though I bowled two gutter balls in the first frame...here are some pictures...be sure to check out the scores at the end...
here is everyone at Russ' Dutch Restaurant - Michael, Kevin, Nicole, Mark, Melita, Erika
Nicole, Kevin and Melita at the bowling alley
Melita got two strikes in a row (which she has never done before) and on the third frame she got nine pins...this is here reaction to one pin standing!!
Erika and Nicole
Melita, Kevin and Erika
here's Erika being, well...Erika!!
okay, so I already told you that I bowled two gutter balls in the first frame...by frame five, I only had about 37 points...and Kevin was saying that he is a good bowler...and I knew that Erika is a good bowler...and I also knew that Melita is not very good at all...I didn't know about Nicole, so I figured that Kevin would win, then Erika, me, then Melita (like I said, I wasn't sure where Nicole would fit in)...so imagine our surprise when the score board looked like this at the end of the game
that's right...Nicole won...Melita beat Erika...I beat both of them...and Kevin, well, let's just say that Kevin got fifth place!!
Hope all of you have a great December...love you all!!
