Life in Transition

I feel old. My youngest cousin graduated from High School this weekend. He is the BABY of the family!! No, really I'm so proud of him and excited to see what happens in his future. Here's a picture of the frousins, plus Matthew: It was so good to see everyone, even if it was for a short time. On another note: THREE MORE DAYS OF SCHOOL!! I can't believe it! I honestly have mixed emotions. I am so excited to sleep in, clean, go on trips, sleep in, watch movies, etc. , but I'm really going to miss my class. They have been amazing! I've hardly had any discipline problems this year and they have really taught me a lot. Things My Class has Taught Me This Year: * Making a mess is okay and even fun, and it will get cleaned up * You can teach mealworms tricks * It's sad when a silkworm dies * Kids can learn English extremely quickly when they need to * Girl drama starts YOUNG * My classroom is the only safe place for some kids and I need to love them like Jesus does each and every day (NOT an easy task!!) I am looking forward to so much this summer! Here's a quick preview (can you tell I'm a list-maker??) * Trip to Abilene * Rangers games * Sara and Jason's wedding * Moving in with Valerie * VBS * Trip to Austin to see Chlova * Trip to South Padre with mom * Sleeping in and laying by the pool Enjoy your week!
