My new classroom

Ok, as of Tuesday, I have my very own classroom at Excelencia ElementarySchool. Jim and I got to see it and take pictures so I could start making plans. After seeing it, I'm afraid they are going to tell me it is all a mistake, the storage closet next the PE Equipment storage room is actually my classroom!

My very own desk...that I am going to get rid of and just use the horseshoe table and a set of rubbermade drawers.

FIVE classroom computers!

Lots of storage space, but I have a feeling that there is never enough storage space!

Two whiteboards and one complete word wall!

I'm in room 204! (Until they find that equipment closet to put me in!)

For My Mom

Friends, you have been wonderfully supportive through the graduation season. You have looked at my pictures, you have sent wonderful messages, and you have encouraged me. I'm posting some new graduation pictures for my mom, so please don't feel obligated to comment or even look at them if you don't want to. OR we can comment on how the gown looks like a maternity dress and the mortar board cap looks like a square Frisbee with tassel, your choice. Btw, pix by photographer extraordinaire, Jenn Yates!

Graduation!!!!

First, thank you all for your support and encouragement over the past two years. I am really thankful that God opened the door for me to return to school. Blessing upon blessing came over the course of the past four semesters. I am REALLY glad I attended graduation. Of course I had anticipated it for years, but the graduation ceremony was the opportunity to live in the moment of achievement. The speakers were great! The company was great! The weekend was especially great. My heart has been drawn out in gratitude to God over the past week. I know he sustained me and my family...the Master of the Universe knows me, takes care of me, and loves me. That is truly awesome!!


Most of our cohort after receiving our diplomas.


Suzi and I were so excited!

Yet another wordless Wednesday

Don't worry, I'm not giving up on words. I just like this concept!

It takes a family to get a BSN!
