Only 365 Days Until You're 30!!!





Stephen turned the big 2-9 last Friday! And yes that's right...he's joined the "Countdown Until You're Thirty Club!" He had his first day back on the job. (Yes it's true... we've had quite the week. I'll have to post this crazy story later) But we're so grateful that he still has his job...what a wonderful birthday present that was. I decided to surprise him and get him a BBQ grill. He had a fun time putting it together and firing it up.(I think I'll enjoy this gift too!) We grilled up some steaks and had a delicious birthday dinner! Stephen is such a wonderful husband. I'm so grateful for him in my life!
Happy Birthday Sweetheart!

My life as a Teacher

So as the school year comes to an end and I'm packing boxes to move schools...once again. I was thinking of all the kids I've been able to work with over the years. I've now been teaching for the last six years and have learned a lot from each little kid. When I first started teaching, someone told me to write down the funny and crazy experiences that you have in the classroom. So I did. And I've been adding to that book every year. Sometimes I'm better at it than others. But I decided to pull it out a while ago and look through it. After reading through the book I thought I should just put it all into a blog. So I've been working on slowly putting the different stories onto a blog. It's definitely been a work in progress and a bigger project then I thought. I'm still adding a few, but have most of the stories put on. It's brought back some great memories. However, because I'm putting info and stories about other's kids online, I've tried to keep all people involved anonymous. I have changed all of their names to keep their confidentially, because you never know who will be reading this.

If you wanted to look at some of the small snipits of my job go ahead and take a look!

I hope you enjoy this and can remember to laugh each day. I know I sure do!

Can It Be?

Just for the record...

3 1/2 weeks or
17 days

Until SUMMER BREAK!!!

Not that I'm counting... I love my little kiddos at school to death, but I am looking forward to doing a little of this



Okay so maybe I can't quite do the butterfly stroke, but I am planning on spend lots of time at our pool with a book and doing a lot of relaxing! If we can just survive the busiest weeks ever! Wish me good luck!
