Class of 2022

Class of 2022, is that possible??  I can't believe it.  I was okay until Lesley read the poem at the end and I cried.  I couldn't help it.  Olivia has had the sweetest class.  She has learned so much. 

Lesley said that they tried to think of the thing that stood out with each student and gave an award accordingly.  They hit the nail on the head when they gave Olivia the "Best on the Monkey Bars Award".  She does the same thing at home and has the callouses to prove it.  I think she has stolen Dalton's baseball hitting gloves so she can improve her technique. 

Olivia just loved Mrs. Lesley.  She always came in talking about Sawyer and Griffin.  I felt like I knew them personally and wanted to tell them Hi when I saw them in the hallways.  Maybe we'll see you again in third grade Mrs. Lesley.

Olivia made some really good friends this year (Emma Grace and Lilly).  The little girls were dressed so pretty today. 

Olivia is looking forward to a new year with some of the same kids next year in Mrs. Monica's class.  Dalton had Mrs. Monica this year and loved her.  Hopefully it will be another great year.   

I'm Thankful

Twelve years ago today I was so scared at starting this incredible journey in my life.  Being married has been incredible.  I have two healthy children and a wonderful husband, a good job and a church family that is always there for me.  I know that I'm truly blessed and I thank God for that.  He's the only one that I can thank.  I know that my life is good because of him.  I was feeling all bad because I had to leave today to go to Nashville for a training class that starts tomorrow morning, but I decided that I shouldn't dwell on having to leave.  I should focus on the fact that I have a family that loves me and I love them and this sadness is because I don't want to miss a minute in my family's life;  I want to be at the heart of it.  So, I'm thankful to be a mommy and a wife and I feel there are a lot of mothers out there that feel the same way.  The more years that go by, the more I appreciate all the things my mother did for me.  One of the most important things she did for me was making sure I knew the Lord and leading me down a path toward salvation.  So, I'm thankful for so many things today.  Happy Mother's Day.
