American Sign Language
So I started American Sign Language today! I decided to take it instead of spanish. I have learned so much in just one day. There is absolutely no verbal communication allowed ever in class by the students or the teacher. I thought the teacher was deaf but it's just the way she teaches. It's so hard to not talk but it is amazing how much easier it is to learn the language when I can't use my voice. What an amazing language. I am eager to learn more and wish I had someone to talk to and share what I have learned. School is going well. I have started 3 of the 4 classes and I am already a little stressed. My social work class is going to be fun and so will my anatomy class. A lot of work but fun. We get to dissect a brain, an eyeball, and a heart. Pretty sweet. Well I am encouraging Stephen to at least learn the ASL alphabet so I can at least talk to him that way. I will tell him everything I have learned after every class to practice and try to get to Target more often. They sometimes have hearing impaired employess. Wish me luck. :)

it's always helpful to have a second language going when kids come into the picture...they learn how to spell too quickly
Rebekah and I just saw the little and big "I love you" picture and simultaneously said, "Awwww." I'm glad you are learning, because I will be deaf by the time I am 40 at this rate.
Awesome. Sign language will be so great to know.
