the partons: if we had coffee
http://rachelparton.blogspot.com/2015/03/if-we-had-coffee.html
If we had coffee. Once upon a time I did a post. I had debated doing another "Recently I'm." post,. But decided my thoughts were better suited to a chat over a warm drink. SO If we had coffee. I'd be drinking my new typical morning creation. Salted caramel hot chocolate with a shot of instant espresso. I'd be wearing the basic, stereotypical mom uniform:. Oversized shirt yoga pants sloppy ponytail. Maybe some eyeliner and mascara, if I'm feeling super fancy. I might get teary at this point. How, when I'm...

the partons: an announcement.
http://rachelparton.blogspot.com/2012/04/announcement.html
Things i probably shouldn't eat for breakfast:. Anyway, that's not the announcement. This decision has been in the making for quite some time. I told my senior class while we were in Costa Rica (future post[s] coming, I promise.), amidst many tears. This is my last year teaching at PCA. Despite the bittersweet delivery of the news, I'm looking forward greatly to whatever God has next for our lives. At the same time, my tendency has always been to anticipate what's coming next instead of living in the...

the partons: October 2007
http://rachelparton.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html
I love it when they listen. Every day when my students enter the room, they know that they are to begin working on the daily journal. This does not always happen immediately, as one might imagine. I am simultaneously trying to elevate my students' vocabularies, which is also not happening immediately. Today's journal question was, "What is your most indispensible possession and why? Here is one response I received:. Tonight I decorate Halloween cookies! Well, they're letting me stay! Two months later, I'm.

the partons: quick update
http://rachelparton.blogspot.com/2010/08/quick-update.html
There's been a lot happening lately, so here's a quick post to get my blog back up to speed! The day after I got back from Africa, Doug and I closed on our house. That same day, Robert stayed overnight with us on his way home from North Dakota! Since then, I've been at the house almost every day - cleaning, priming, painting. here's a sneak preview. This is our bathroom, formerly super glossy LIME GREEN. You can see a little of it at the top. Beautiful flowers (as always, Katie! Love the crab apples!

the partons: africa: day 4
http://rachelparton.blogspot.com/2009/11/africa-day-4.html
Tuesday 11.10.09. Lameck (Fountain of Life/World Orphans) and some of the women. We met the most perfect and adorable baby on earth, and I wanted to bring her home. After visiting the site, we visited the homes of some of the women we had just met. Tiny, 1-room homes that were so dark because they had one light bulb (if that). No toilets. But often the walls were decorated with magazine clippings, pictures from newspapers - anything to make them more "homey". We also went inside a little shop. Building R...
