Final Exams.

We had our final exams yesterday. Also someone is working on getting our shower fixed where some tiles had fallen off. They discovered the problem was moisture and so are installing a vent as well. The should be done with it this morning because after they took all the old tiles off it was moist behind them and they wanted to let it dry over night. They exams went well, I think. It took a lot more time than the last exam. I suppose that every exam after this will be longer as well because it all adds more to what you know. It took us about 2 hours. I have really little idea as to how well I did on it. It is nice to get it behind you. Last night we had the end of school BBQ. It was enjoyed by all. About 80 showed up, students and teachers with their families. The food was good and the fellowship was good as well. It is difficult with 25 kids running around ages 1-12. I will include some pictures. The larger picture is of our class, the two ladies in white on the front row are our teachers, the presents we gave them and sitting in the baskets. It was a good chance to say goodbye to some students who would be leaving. The kids had a wonderful time and played together almost the whle time, they did take a few minutes to eat. After it was over Caleb said, "But Daddy I didn't see the big BBQ." I had the re-explain what the BBQ was. We did not get home until about 8:30 and the kids were exhausted and dirty. We gave them a wipe down and put them down. Big soccer matches coming up this week in the Euro 2008 games. So far I'm thinking Russia and Germany have the best chance of being in the finals. God bless, JASON

Joyeux Anniversaire

Today is my birthday. I am now 30 years old. I have started to approach "the hill". To celebrate Angie and I went to a local mall, without the kids. Awesome. We browsed around for a while, Angie took me out to eat at McDonalds. The mall was huge, three stories about 190 stores. It took a 30 minute bus ride to get there but it was worth it. We drove through a part of town that had several gypsies' trailers. Later we had my birthday party, for the cake we had eclaires. Very good. We let the kids stay up and watch part of "Horton hears a Who". I was working on homework, but the parts I saw and the laughter I heard, it seems to be a pretty good movie. Just finished watching a soccer match. I enjoy watching soccer. The games are different than most sports games. They are usually low scoring, but the game is like a soap opera. It has it's ups and downs and personality. That is why people like it even though there are not that many scores. As americains I think we tend to looke forward to the scores and miss a lot of the game. If there are any other soccer fans out there reading this, here is a link you would enjoy
