Here is a picture of Derek and me at a bonfire we had friday night. We are officially dating for a week and a day now. I can not say how amazing it is to see God in all of this. I was not looking for a relationship, and I think my words were "I'm not in the the mood for a relationship". God totally dropped it on my lap which is the most exciting part. There are so many little things that God worked out, which gives me that peace knowing that it is totally of the Lord (and not of girly manipulation. . . as all girls know about). As I was telling my friend Rebeka, I was in a man-hating funk and if what I was seeing and experiencing from guys around me (minus my family), I did not want to get married ever. Derek definitely took me out of that funk. I realize that there are good Godly guys out there, and God has given me one of them.

a requested update
So I was asked by one of my friend's to update my blog, so I will. I don't have a picture to put with it, but when I get the time I'll upload more pictures so that my blog does not look so boring.
What has been going on in the life of Sharon. . . Let's see. . . teaching 5th grade and coaching cheerleading keeps me pretty busy. I also find myself spending a lot of time with a particular boy, which can cause a serious lack of sleep. Currently, my dad is in Alaska preaching/hunting and taking some overdue rest and relaxation. Last weekend we had a college and career age retreat at my family's mountain house which was most enjoyable. I know this is a vague overview, but when I have pictures I'll give a more detailed update. This is just a hold-over for my avid readers who requested one.

Back to School
First day back to school is always CRAZY! Besides only getting 2 1/2 hours of sleep the night before, I have a class of 8 boys and get this . . . only 1 girl. The actual day seemed to run smoothly, which was a blessing.
After school there was a soccer game which I had to coach cheerleading for. It would not have been so bad, if it wasn't raining the whole time. I was pretty much a wet, frozen popsicle by the end. It probably did not help that my classroom is freezing due to woman going through "that mid-life time" controlling the temperature, so I started off cold. Needless to say, I had to put on a long sleeve shirt and sweatshirt to warm up after the game.
