I think overall I have been adjusting pretty well to the lifestyle of a high school teacher's wife. And to say the least, I am enjoying every minute of it. Except for the one class a month I can't go with JJ to, we have been attending PHS functions weekly, if not daily. One would think I am tired because we have quite the busy schedule, but all in all, I LOVE IT!!! Tonight we have a tailgate party before the big PHS Varsity football game, which the last time we went to was standing room only!!! And the funny part is that JJ has always taught at a PHS school, went to Portage High School, taught there for a semester and then taught a semester at Pardeeville High School. So it seems all of the cheering that is done at the games are so interchangeable. So, it is like I know them already!!! Yah, I am sure you are picturing me cheering right along with them, don't you? Well, I do!!!
JJ seems to amaze me everyday with his teacher/students stories. We are working on him telling me about the good kids first and not always telling me about the bad things that happen in class. Like yesterday when he told me after 10 or 15 minutes of talking about the girl who said to her friend, "See this is why I like him so much." He always tells the bad news first, but that made my day and I know that it made his! We even went to Wal-Mart and one of the students that had gotten taken out of his class because he did not have a job and the class is 3rd hour and then 4th hour you go to work, said "Hi Mr. Heesch." It brings me MUCH joy to hear things like this. Because of course, I knew he was going to be great teacher, but everyday I feel like at least one other person thinks he is great too.
So, to Mr. Heesch, keep up the good work. And a very good school year to come.
Until next time...
