Life is full of ups and downs.

Well the last month has been a crazy one. No time to even post anything. To catch up, my Dad is finally home from Rochester after 3 major surgery's. He is unable to do most anything right now. My mom is going through a rough patch with her treatment. Her knee and leg where the cancer is at are hurting her enough to make her limp and use a cane. She has been trying to go back to work lately but has had to come home many days because the medicine that makes the pain tolerable is making her sick to her stomach. So basically for the past month I have been taking care of both my parents, the house and everything else in Decorah, while still living in Iowa Falls. Enough got to be enough. Here is where the ups and downs starts. Last Monday and Tuesday I told my principals that I would be resigning at the end of the year. I turned in my letter of resignation to the Superintendent on Tuesday. This move is a bitter sweet move for me. Although I am happy to be moving back to Decorah, getting closer to the family and alot of things that I absolutely love to do, I am leaving a great group of kids and staff that I have grown to love out in Iowa Falls. I didn't realize how much this was going to affect me until after I turned in my letter. The last track meet with my girls was on Tuesday after I turned in the letter and I nearly broke down talking with some of the girls about leaving. I am a wreak over leaving my teams that I coached because I have put so much into them and I love to see what there potential is as they grow. They are the ones I am having the hardest time leaving. My athletes. The kids also though are very tough to leave. I have molded them into exactly what I wanted to as far as physical education class is. They have been great. I am going to really miss walking into school and all of a sudden having a young students clinging to me. I get this every day, the simplest hug really warms me and makes me feel like I am somewhere I belong. The last thing I will miss is the staff that I have grown to love also. They have taught me so many things and some more than others have become really close friends. I will definately miss Adam because when you spend as much time as we have coaching and teaching together you really feel that they are your friend. Over all this move will probably be for the best in the end, but right now I feel as though my heart is getting wrenched out of my chest with the heartbreak that I am feeling. I hope that I am able to feel happy again when I get here, it will probably take some time though. That is about it. OUT!
