It has definitely been a long time since I have updated this thing (trust me, Mikel has let me know about it as has my mom).
Two different things are probably to blame: 1. the volleyball season has started and that is just an incredibly busy time of year and 2. our neighbors cancelled their wireless internet so our "borrowed" connection at home is no longer available. I typically update the blog on my laptop at home so that is currently not an option. We really do need to get some sort of TV and internet at home but we are gone and busy so much that it's hard to set up a time to get it installed and it's hard to pay for stuff that we are never at home to use.
In other news, we are about half way through the games on our schedule this season. We are only about a month in but the preseason is so crammed with matches that we have already played 14 matches. We are 5-9 and playing much better competition overall than last season so I'm happy with the progress the team has made.
Mikel has been busy because he is teaching this block and has been hired this semester as a full-time instructor. We are hoping that it can transition into a permanent full-time position because he loves the teaching and the students seem to love him. He is teaching Methods of Teaching Individual and Dual Sports this block, Leisure Studies next block, and then Personal and Community Health after that. It's a tough schedule but somebody's got to do it!
Mikel has been fishing (as much as possible) and working at the golf course (a little bit) but other than that it's been pretty much ALL VOLLEYBALL ALL THE TIME.
I promise I'll get back to updating more consistently... At least I'll try... And maybe I'll get internet at my house, that would help!
