Last night at school, we had an event called a “Launch Party” for the eighth graders. In attendance were the eighth graders and the middle school teachers. We hung out, played games, had dinner, and chose their class verse. The highlight of the night was a time where each kid went to a spot on campus and read cards, notes, and letters that their loved ones had written to them. It was super cool.

The evening ended late – I got home at 10. I was exhausted. But I got to hang out with the kids outside of class, and eat and laugh with them. It was good.

Now if I can just make it through the school day today…

Yesterday for PE, we went to the park next to school and walked a loop. It was just over half a mile. Eventually, the kids will do a mile, but it was their first time, and it was hot outside, so they took it easy.

It reminded me of Maui, where we would often go to the park across the street. How fun! I’m looking forward to future park excursions.

My travel back from Nebraska went well yesterday. My layover was in Denver. I got my shoes shined, as is my wont. The guy had to go to the other side of the shine station to get something, so I could take a quick picture:

When I got on the plane to LA, I saw that it had no seat screens. If I was going to watch a movie, it would have to be on my phone. But I forgot to bring earbuds that work with my new phone. D’oh! I remembered I had something to read in my bag, so I got it out:

I read some, but I mostly slept.

When I got home, I was so happy to see this:

Aww… Bruno…

I was also happy to see this:

I hadn’t had any milk in over 24 hours! I don’t usually go that long without it.
