Excited and nervous

Josiah started his new "school" last Monday. That is the easiest way for us to explain this new program to him. He is still trying to understand why he has to go to the new place but the good thing is that he isn't mad at us anymore about it and has accepted that this is his new school for now. I think his understanding so far is that he needs to go here so they can help him learn new ways of handling school and his own behavior, which is pretty right on. So far, the first day was the worst. We'll just say that he has learned that he cannot run away from them, nor hit or kick at them. I think there will come a time (maybe soon) where he will test those boundaries again and once again find out what happens when he does that. Until then, he is getting some school work done in class, which is GREAT, and we really like his new therapist, she's totally awesome!!! I look forward the changes we have yet to see. I know their is a very bright future for our son and we see that glimmer on the horizon.

In one week I will be running the 3.1 mile race in downtown Portland. It starts early Sunday morning and I am feeling nervous and excited all at the same time. I'm not quite sure what to expect as it's my first race like this, so on one hand I can't wait for it to be over, but on the other I am excited to see this through and accomplish my goal! I am confident that I can run it (with some short walk breaks) and that was my goal as well.

I look forward to starting my next book "The Hunger Games". My sister lent me her copy and I would like to read it and then go see the movie with her when it comes to theaters. My reading list for this year is growing still so I plan to get going on it after my race.

Thanks for hanging in their with me, blessings to you.
