It’s December 31, 2006. Today is Sunday, so we will have church tonight as we did this morning. I finished grading a paper before church, and I have 9 left to do before Tuesday. Tonight we will have a few people over to play games at Justin’s parents’ house, so I know we’l be up at least until midnight. That usually wouldn’t be a problem, but we catch a shuttle early Monday morning (3:30) to go to Salt Lake City for our flight back to Seattle. We get back before 10, but I know I’ll be pretty exhausted, and there’s always something to do when you get back from a vacation (checking mail, laundry, lesson planning, grocery shopping, etc.)

I don’t really want to end the new year grading papers and ring it in with exhaustion, but I know that’s what will happen….

Here’s to January winding down in its initial busy-ness and here’s to a couple of snow days before the month is over.
