I realized I should have explained the name of our blog as I was telling Faith about it. The "Stehr" part is pretty self-explanatory, but the "Well" has a couple meanings for us.
1) When I introduce myself at the beginning of the school year, I tell my students that Stehr is pronounced just like "stair" or "stare". This helps so that I don't get called Mrs. Steer. I choose not to moo. A stairwell requires some effort and climbing which is what I feel like we're doing right now.
2) This is an emotional time for our family. We are super excited about moving to Sutherlin but can't help thinking about what we leave behind. One of my favorite hymns is "It Is Well With My Soul" so the "well" describes how even though we're feeling some turmoil, "it is well".
