Classroom Work..

Well, the entire week of the 4th I spent A LOT of time in my new classroom! #1 the drive to 'work' is already 100 times better!! YEAH!! #2 it was not spotless, :) but is now! (kind of and yes, I know it won't last long) #3 BIG, HUGE, thanks to my mom and dad. They came down half way through the week to help. It was great to have them down and mostly have extra hands. We got so much done and a lot that I couldn't have manage alone. They cleaned, cut, taped, hot glued, built and bought shelves, BIG HELP! These are a few pictures of the progress, it's getting there.

This week, I've been work-shop'n it! ARI, Reading, Comprehension, Fluency, Vocab, Phonics, FUN STUFF!! Thankfully I had Carrie Beth to hang out with at lunch and through the week (She's a very good college friend, who happens to be a Kind. teacher at my new school!! YEAH!) I got to spend a little bit more time after class every day, so it's just about there. I volunteered for registration night, so it was a great chance for Tyson to come see everything and help.. yep he got almost all my computers and printers connected. (Thanks babe!)

Next week is AMSTI!! Math and Science, for those non-teachers! Wish me luck, my mind is almost full of teacher-teacher talk.

More Changes...












The HAIR CUT!! I finally did it!! YEAH!! Ever since my hair has been long and I spent so much time in Children's Hospital, I've always wanted to cut my hair for locks of love. At first, I always wanted my hair long to cover my back and scars from surgery. In college I started wanting a change and thinking more and more about locks of love. I was ready to do it last year and backed out because of Tyson. I had a feeling he was the one and wanted my hair long for the wedding. Now, there was no excuses and no holding back!! EMILY, my favorite hair person and really just fav PERSON, did the honors! My hair is so thick we had to make pig tails and cut it rather than one pony tail. I've always had great hair any way I fix it, one blessing I got from above, but I was afraid it might go A-wall being so thick and short. Thankfully it didn't and has been great! It's not super short but it's about 14-16" shorter than before. Emily cut about 10 1/2, 11 inches off for locks of love and styled it from there, which got the other 3 or 4 inches. It's about shoulder length with layers, so I can make it straight, flipped out, curled under, rolled, and even curly. Should be fun, I'll have to work with it and learn.


MOSTLY, I love it! I needed a change and it was for a great cause! Hope everyone else likes it, and if not it will grow back :) That's my thoughts, but I like it this way and plan to keep it up!

Final Day :(


Just a few shots of me being sad :( I miss my John.... and my friend Judy, and... a lot of people. Excited about my new start but still miss all the friends I made. John's desk and mine has NEVER been so clean and empty!! It's amazing it was even possible, many people doubted.
