Life in Danbury

It seems that time disappears sometimes. I haven't written for a long time, mainly because life has been busy and we don't have internet at home. So let's see...

From Danbury, CT I have a 40 minute commute every morning down 684. I leave at 6:30 in the morning and usually miss the flood of traffic that heads toward NYC. Sometimes though an accident will destroy being on time to work (like an hour or hour and a half delay). I get to work usually by 7:15. School starts at 8:30, so I have an hour or so to prepare things and put my head on straight for the day. School is fun. I teach small group lessons for flute, percussion, trumpet, and french horn. I teach a xylophone (Orff) class to 3rd graders, and I teach two general music classes every day. Also I teach a 5th grade band almost every day...so my schedule is quite varied. I kind of like it though.

School ends by 2:55 and I usually leave by 3:30 unless I have something pressing I have to do for the next day. I usually get home by 4:15, eat dinner, and then spend the rest of the night with the family.

We just purchased a minivan today. My 99 Mazda seems to be shrinking in size. We need more room!

The Lord also has graciously led us to a nice assembly in CT. The group we now meet with is great...that's all I will say for now. Life goes on. I miss the familiarity of Rochester and friends. We're kind of by ourselves right now, but I'm sure we will meet new people. The Lord truly is good to us.

Commute
I'm glad everything is going well for you. My only comment is that it's funny how quickly a long commute seems normal. When I worked near Boston, I used to drive 50 minutes each way. After a month, that seemed normal. Now, back in dinky Rochester, that seems ridiculously long.


Gas
Yeah. I fill up on gas every 4-5 days. In Rochester I filled up every 2-2 1/2 weeks. Big change!
