New Seasons

Whew! Has it really been that long since I've posted???? So long that I thought I needed to change the layout of the blog, pull up the page and think oh that's nice, I just changed it!

The school year is wrapping up and boy has it been a whirlwind! Many of my afternoons/evenings have been spent grading, grading, grading. Sometimes I feel like Dori on finding Nemo..."Just keep grading, just keep grading, what do I do but grade, grade, grade!" It's worth it though and next year I think I'll have a better system! I've consumed quite a bit of Mt. Dew and realize I need to cut back on that one :)

We had our Spring Musical, Silent Auction, and so much more! Choreographed a 4th Grade Hoedown and helpin' with the Faculty and Staff surprise talent show entry! Made chocolate with the silent auction winner-3 of my fourth grade girls! Little Rascals and chocolate makes for a great afternoon!

Yep, I got up there on that stage too for the Hoedown!

I turned another year older and enjoyed so many goodies! Mr. Headley played the birthday song for me, my parents got me lovely flowers, my dad's class came and sang Happy Birthday and there was lots of cake and flowers! My roommate decorated my room and got me beautiful flowers too!  How could I forget the Red Lobster dinner! So delicious! I had some challenging packages to unwrap from my uncle and some incredibly sweet surprises from Mr. M.C. (his were quite interestingly wrapped as well!)

Field Day was quite the afternoon! My kiddos were dying to get wet in the kiddy pool during tug-of-war! There wish was granted!

We had teacher appreciation week and I was so blessed to get so many treats! From my favorite candy bar and soda to flowers to movie baskets I felt the love!

Spent a great weekend with the Radius Youth for Disciple Now! Reminded to be courageous! Had some fun game challenges too! Spent the afternoon at Wal-Mart as an "Amazing Race" stop.

Summer is fast approaching and I can't wait for those warm summer nights. Nothin' like 'em!

I'm also thankful for seasons. Changing seasons. Seasons where one is challenged, learns, and grows. I'm thankful that God loves me too much to leave me where I am. I'm thankful he brings new people into my life each and every day! Ecclesiastes 3:1, 4 sums it up so well!

There is a time for everything,
    and a season for every activity under the heavens...
 a time to weep and a time to laugh,
    a time to mourn and a time to dance...
