reflection... on good things!

This has been a GREAT week! 

Friday my kids were wonderful, and I just about melt every time I look at them.  It crushes me to think that in a few short weeks I will have to leave them... let's not talk about that part yet.  Right now I am just focusing on my math transition.  This week was long division, this coming week is fractions!  That is why I am brushing up on those things... today.  

Emily came over to see me yesterday and we had a fun girlie day... coffee shop talk... movies... dinner... movies again... oh, and yes... a stop at a certain shop...

I met someone!.. .well, technically I already knew him... but there has been some odd tension between the two of us... and because I have ZERO experience in this field, asked Em what she thought... and its official... I kind of like this guy... we shall see what happens this week... :)

And then today, it was decided that I am going to ARIZONA for Spring Break!  and the best part... the Seattle Mariners are only going to be 1 mile away from where I will be staying.  Spring Training is where you can find me the last week in March.  Oh yes.  

Well, back to planning... I actually don't mind it that much... gets me excited for my very own classroom next fall! :)

first week back.

It's Friday... which is the best news EVER.  This was the first week back to school and I truly realized how much I missed all of my kiddos.  I miss their little smiles, their interesting stories, their personalities, side conversations, sneakiness, and their love for life.

Three of my boys have crushes on me... They are the most adorable things ever.  I love 4th grade boys... they have so much live and excitement and nothing really phases them.  

Thomas grabbed my hand today because he wanted me to sit down with him and help him... just about melted my heart.

I think its good to be back mostly to help fill the hole in my life right now.  I know that I shouldn't fill it with things like food or people or books, and that I really should fill that hole with my savior but right now I'm not exactly sure how to do that.  I'm working on that part.  So right now, I am being fully distracted with the exhausting but wonderful life of a teacher.  

Emily is coming tomorrow for a fun girlie day which includes our newest past time: TWILIGHT.  Oh yes.  

Even though I have all of this going on... there is still part of me that is lonely... bottom of my soul lonely... we'll see what happens with that.
