Changes to Come

I have 2 days and 1 night class, a project, a final and an exit interview left of this semester. WOW!! That scares me to death and relieves me all at the same time. So much to do in so little time, and its almost over!! This semester is the last of the "in classroom as a student" time for me. I never dreamed that in my late thirties I would consider going back to college, but I have loved (almost) every minute of it. I have met some wonderful people and gained so much experience.
I start student teaching at BHS in January. Different schedule, different atmosphere, different people. I am excited to be on the other side of the desk, and nervous at the same time. May 2012, will bring graduation (there will be extensive celebration!) and decisions about what to do next. It is a little mind boggling to take all of this in....
but I would do it all again!

So much to be thankful for...

God has blessed me abundantly. I cannot begin to list everything I am thankful for. Some, top the list...
...good health, and that of my family
... extended family, who I may not see every week or even every year
... my NWA family, though not blood related--I know I can count on you
...my children, all very different. You make me very proud!
...my husband. He is my biggest cheerleader in whatever I choose to do
...the country I live in, all the freedoms it provides and those who provide it
...so many things to list, I could never cover them all

...last, but not least...that this semester is almost over!!

I won!









Many probably saw the apron I made, because I was so proud of it --I showed everyone! I won! It was a recycled cotton competition, using used t-shirts and used jeans. I took photos of the process, because I have never made anything without a pattern. I used two old t-shirts.
