"Let's find something worth dying for, not living for"

Yesterday we went to Cape River Trail and did a little walking. It was beautiful. The green continues to amaze me down here. We took Paris, who absolutely loved being outside and able to run around. This trail goes along the river, but apparently we didn't make it far enough. I'm not sure whether it is along the river, or if we can actually see the river from the trail. We walked half the trail because it never looped back around. 4.5 miles later we returned to our car. Needless to say we are a little sore today. We had a great time and got some warm hellos as well. It was the first day when it hasn't been too hot. I think it was only 88. It's funny how fast you get used to weather.
On another note, this morning (after looking around for a while since he heard a noise), Chris found out that the faucet in our front yard had somehow been turned on...most of the night. We don't know if it's a prank or it got bumped, but our whole lawn was flooded and went to the street and down the drain. That sucks mostly because we have to pay for our own water now. I would have preferred to throw $20 down the drain, I think.
Oh, I thought of another thing I love about here. The construction gets done so quickly! I do not miss all of the construction in Michigan...and never seeing someone working on it. The main road from Raeford to Fayetteville was being worked on when we moved here. First of all, they only closed off the area that they work working on. What a concept! Second of all, it was done after a week! It's a beautiful thing.
As for school...I start training/meetings tomorrow and I am getting very excited to be in the classroom! Chris' first week went surprisingly well and he has been reminded why he went to school all those years. I hope I have the same experience. I keep having dreams that I am teaching in an aisle of a store (first Hobby Lobby, then a warehouse) and the kids are terrible. In last night's dream, I forgot to go over the rules and procedures. How do you do that??
We have started to meet people (mostly from Chris' school). We went out to eat with them because they go out every Friday. We also have tried 2 different churches and the one that we went to today we really liked. We heard about it from a lady at Big Lots, so thanks to her! It is pretty big, which is our main complaint. The pastor is who gave me the title...it was a great sermon. We might try a few more, we might not. We are doing well though. :)
