Blind Spots.

So, here we are. It's Friday. I have exactly 3.5 Fridays left here.


I've been broken, I'm older, I'm happy and I'm growing. There are things that I completely want to change for myself. About myself.

For these next 24 days. I will blog. I will take advantage of living in Boone-no matter how scared I may be.
I realized today that I will be missing from my class one day each week this month due to ceremonies. RCOE, graduation, and CSIL. weiiiiird because it makes me think about how quickly this month will fly by. But regardless of all my list making, here's the highlight of my day; of most my days, actually.

Today, my first graders were super cute. The other day, at CCM, we talked about looking for God in different places throughout the day and how you act with love. I've started realizing the small specks of wonderfulness around me. It's usually with my kids. Piper held my hand yesterday and just started swinging our arms. Today Isabella gave me a flower and Libby sat on my lap and nuzzled her head against me to cry for no real reason. If it wasn't for those kids and my commitment for education I don't know how I'd wake up in the mornings. I taught my money lesson today and the kids loved it. We had a very good Friday even if I had to watch them at the playground with no jacket on in 40 degree weather with blustery winds (because I gave G.R. my jacket). I got home, cleaned my room brewed some coffee, and made some very important phone calls. Now, I'm back in my room after having watched Invictus with Corey. It was such a good movie and has made me super giddy and excited about the World Cup this summer. I love soccer and everything that comes with it. Tomorrow will bring a lot of good things. I am quite sure of that.

The $8 in pennies for my kiddies. Oh, elementary education.
