some things you should know about our new jobs:
1. jeff has to wear a shirt and tie every day
2. we have to leave the house around 6:30am every day
3. it costs us 6JD a day to get to and from work
4. working together has ups and downs (the only down is venting about things that the other can actually relate to, which brings with it empathy but no pity)
5. the school is nuts-o
6. the 2nd graders are literally "of the devil"
7. jessey is determined to win the war with the children "of the devil"
8. we have found another source of darkness that needs light, and we get to shine (insha' allah)
9. we are legal residents of jordan
10. we now have a local bank account that has no money in it
there are other, much cooler things to say, but i can't say them without raising flags (if you know what i mean), so we'll talk in person about the other awesome things that have been happening. so, without further ado, these two busy people are going to grade papers.

Funny!
When I first saw this I thought it said tReachery! Like somebody lied and said, "go ahead and wear sweats & a t-shirt to class, no problem," and then on the first day said, "nevermind. shirt & tie"
which made me laugh.
ha. i would have done that too...
Jesse & Jeff, don't know if you remember us... I think we met at Hickory Grove once when y'all were here visiting Brad & Nikki. Anyhow, having been an Arabic linguist in my former (pre-marriage) life, I'm so jealous of all the experiences you're having and look forward to living a bit vicariously thru your blog!
