Christmas

Hey!

WOW! It's Christmas day already...I can't believe how fast this year has gone by. Before I know it, it'll be 2008! I spent the day with my family at my house and we had fun opening presents together...it's great to have children in the house to enjoy the excitement Christmas brings with having them around. I can't wait to see my own children someday on Christmas morning. I also went to visit my dad's side of the family and talked with them for a while. God has definitely been merciful on me and the life I've had. It's a completely different world when I walk into their home. I also found out my cousin is going to be starting basic training for the Army come January 15th. I'm not sure how I'm feeling right now...it's all a little hard to take in. Please be praying with me as I come to terms with this an sort out my feelings.

On Sunday, we had a "WINDY" day here which is not surprising...it was hurricane like winds. I thought I was going to blow away! I loved having snow around me though and even though it felt like 0* and was only like 14* ---I really enjoyed it!!!!!!

Blessings to all on this day!

Time to Relax....

...or so I say now! I leave for home in less than 24 hours and can't wait to go! It's been a really busy semester and I'm ready to get away for some much needed change of scenery!

I am thinking of those people that don't have family to spend the holidays with. It's so sad and I pray that we would each think of these people on a day when we are blessed with family to surround us. If you know someone, at least give them a call and let them know that you are thinking of them! :)

I officially have completed preschool and am getting some last days in with my Kindergarten class! I forgot what the excitement is like in school just before the holidays....."CHAOS"--as my students would say! (Their smart!) I hope that they are able to have a wonderful Christmas with their families! :) I'll miss them next semester for sure!!!!!!!!!! :)

Final days....

...of preschool are upon me. As frustrating as it has been at times, I can't say that it has been horrible. I've made great contacts and I have really enjoyed helping in the office of all places! :) My 3's were great too and I really made some good friends there!

I am excited that I leave on Friday to go home! I can't believe Christmas is already here....I only have one present picked out...and I still have to finish it! EEKS! Not a good thing. Oh well, it's the love and thought that counts and I'm excited about it!

Merry Christmas to all my friends and family! :)

Happy Birthday to ME!!!!!!!!

Well, it's official...I'm a crazy 23 year old now! I had a great party and really enjoyed having a simple chili, movie and cake party at my apartment. I'm a low-key girl most of the time so this was just right for me! Thank you to my roommate for hosting and all my friends for coming....except one person who didn't show up...hmmm....I guess he'll just have to take me out sometime! haha! I'm just kidding--well, maybe...

I loved being with my Kindergarteners today and am enjoying life! Tomorrow is the community group Christmas party! OOOO! FUN!!! It's Italian night!

I can't wait to go home on the 21st! I miss my family and all my friends back home! :)

New School

Right now I'm at a preK in town and it's been fun. I will be teaching 2nd grade next semester! It shall be a long semester with all the projects I have to do for school but it will work out just fine! :) Hope everyone is doing well! :)
