Oh this year has started out great and I know its just going to get better. Change is hard but I have a great, energetic, and sweet class of kids... I'm lucky. Things could be SO much worse and sometimes I just sit back and enjoy the happiness that surrounds me.

Our trip to the Pumpkin Patch was the greatest and rainiest field trip of all time. I can't wait to go back. :)

October Aspens

There is something about being in the mountains that makes you feel so small. I want to go back and stay awhile. There was endless beauty and a peace I haven't known in years.

Thank heavens for digital images... 300 pictures and a million smiles!

I've Loved Summer...

A summer swim, a phone call from my brother, time with my bestest friend, and a pina colada... all signs of a fabulous summer! This one was especially relaxing and lazy. I'm broke but I'm happy and thats really what matters most. As school time comes around the corner I have lots to look forward to and even more to prepare for... I can't wait to see what happens! :) Cheers to happy times and purring kitty cats!

looking forward to the future...

...and letting go of the past.

As the 07-08 year comes to a close, I am terribly thrilled and excited to know that a new adventure is awaiting me. I have enjoyed my years here in this beautiful old building with the gorgeous wood cabinets and laughing children.

Here's to new adventures, new classrooms to explore and settle into, and to a whole new group of laughing children.

Life is gonna be good again. No, wait... it's gonna be GREAT! :)
