I am thankful that today is a new day. I am thankful of all the unknowns that are ahead of me. I am thankful I am able to enjoy more time with friends and family. I am excited about the possibility of meeting all my friends in Asheville, NC for a white water rafting music festival!!!!!! www.frenchbroadriverfestival.com And Abby will be bringing Jack Henry into this world any day now….her due date is today! My mother's birthday is next week. Oh and I think my 10 year high school reunion is coming sometime soon. I am embracing the adventure that each day brings.

Today I was a first grade teacher. Here are some of the things I heard.
Child: Ms. Charlye, Katie is running.
Me: Katie, please use your walking feet for safety.
Child: When I was shorter I used to run but now I am 6 and I growed up.
Me: Oh, so when you were younger you ran but now that you have grown you understand that it’s not safe to run in the halls?
Child: No, when I was shorter it didn’t hurt as bad when I fell.
--that’s first grade innocence if I have ever heard it!
Child: Ms….what’s your name?
Me: Charlye
Child: Ms Charlye
Me: Yes
Child: I love you!
--we can all take lessons on unconditional love from children

I am now working part time at the Robertson County YMCA in the youth center. I decided that after 7 months at home without any form of income it was time to get a part time job while I wait for my visa. I need funds to help support my diving lessons in PNG!

While on a walk with my aunt today, we saw the most beautiful black stallion. This magnificant creature galloped through the field toward us. I reached out my hand to stroke his glistening coat. He took off running with his black mane blowing in the wind. Tomorrow I will bring carrots :)

Hi Charlye,
Visas take forever unfortunately... and I'm talking from the experience I have recently had (more so when the place that gives out the work permits runs out of ink). But I am here now and it is so different to anything I could have ever imagined in a lot of ways. But I am really enjoying it.
You'll get here one day...
Shirley
