Happy Thanksgiving!

Thank you all for all of your support.  Thank you especially to Mom and Dad.  I love you.  I miss you, but I know what I'm doing here is what I'm supposed to be doing.  I am thankful for all of my students.  They make it all worth it.  They are great kids.  I can't imagine teaching anyone else this year.  I am thankful for this small community that shows me so much thanks and welcomeness.  Thank you all.  I want to thank everyone for the packages and notes you've sent.  It makes my day and week when I get to read from you; from where I'm from.  I live here now, but I'll always be from Michigan.  It's a joke around here...Where is Jackie from?  She's from Michigan?  I'm so proud of where I come from and I'm proud of where I am now.

Yes, Henry's in this picture...he's just in Jessie's belly:)

Thank you Mr. and Mrs. McGeogh for the plentiful packages!  It was so kind of you to send them.  The kids were so excited for some warm clothes and some snacks.  I was excited for the card and socks! :)

Thank you Ella, Gracie, and Livi.  You made my whole day today, on Thanksgiving, by talking to me.  My kids loved talking to you too.  They thought you were such cute little girls! :)

I started making my NYO shirts today.  They look great!  And I had enough ink for at least what I needed to get done!  (pictures to come soon...).  Keep praying and rooting for us!  We travel Wednesday to Alakanuk.  Practice at 1pm tomorrow!  Go Team!
