Made it through

I made it through the first few days of school. I honestly am looking forward to more time with structured subjects. They don't just dive in, they have 2 days where you basically talk about rules and procedures. I felt like I was digging for things to fill up the time. Starting next week I will get right into the swing of things. :D

I really have some cute kids in my class, and only 19 of them. Very manageable. I think this is going to be way easier than last semester. They say this is supposed to be the hardest, but the fact that I don't have to spend 4 hours of class after work is a dream to me. I have spent a lot of extra hours, but it was voluntary which has a completely different feel...big difference.

My classroom is so cute too. There are still a handful of things that I would like to do with it, I will get there. Pictures to come soon.

I decided however that even though I LOVE school and all the cuties. What I would love even more would be to send my own little kiddo to school. We watched a show yesterday where the Dad said that the happy ending was his little girl. It broke my heart as I saw Andrew with tears in his eyes. He then told me to call and check on the in-vitro and adoption stuff. Waiting is going to be a new level of hard, especially now that I know Andrew is completely ready and on board.

Wish us luck :D

Cutest Thing Ever

We had been talking about a few people we knew whose husbands took off on them during some kind of mid-life crisis. I asked Andrew if he was ever going to decide he was sick of me and take off. After a small moment he said "You are the one thing I'm really happy about in my life." He mentioned other things that were just okay. My heart melted. What a sweetheart.

Summer

I cried

I was really strong all day and gave quick hugs and short good-byes. I worked like normal, packed my things and walked out of my last day at Northern Title Company. I made it about 5 seconds in the car before I cried at the phase of my life that is now over. It really became a home away from home and the people there were like family. We even bickered like siblings, but all in good fun. I will surely miss them and am grateful for the chance I had to work with such great people.

I love my friends there and will miss them. (Back) Garrett, David, Melanie, Marilyn, Paul, Jay and Dacei. (Front) Darrell, Me, Kallie, and Brett. This is their parade of homes picture for the ad. Something like "we are working for you". I thought it turned out nice. Melanie, the one with the drill, is my replacement she is lucky :D.
