And So It Begins…

I am one day away from officially being on summer break.  It is always bittersweet.  It’s hard to let go, but at the same time I am so proud of my students and all of the progress they made throughout the year.  I teased them throughout the week about how I was never going to let them go and that someday they would be the biggest first graders ever.   Most of them really didn’t seem to mind that I was going to keep them in first grade. :)  But, I know that they are ready.  I’m excited for them.  I’m proud of them.  I will miss them!

The last couple of weeks have been very busy.  Kirsten graduated from high school…unbelievable!  This is the same little girl that once wiped me from head to toe with baby wipes on a car ride up to Morningside College for a football game.  It is the same little girl who use to watch Disney Channel with me when Trent and I were first dating.  Now, she is all. grown. up.

Jamie and I also ran the Lincoln Half Marathon again this year.  I was a little skeptical after last year and didn’t really know how it would go.  However, it ended up quite perfect.  Weather was great, playlist was great, company was great and I was able to beat my personal best by a couple of minutes. 1:54.25 was the final time.  And, the best part of all…it did not result in a trip to the ER.  Trent was very thankful for that!

As you may have noticed, these are in no particular order, but we also celebrated Mother’s Day.  We made a little trip to Saturday night church follow by a stop at Lake Wanahoo and Dos Margaritas for dinner in Wahoo.

Love them both…

Finally, I have to show off my flowers I planted.  I love spring and flowers even if I don’t have the best setup for a flower garden!

Until next time…
