(My daughter, Natalie and nephew, Michael)

I know I havent updated in a while. Now that school is out, I will try to collect my thoughts and jot them down. Do people really want to read these things? LOL!

I am really going to enjoy this summer. I have the beach trip coming up next week. In June, I will plan some short day trips with my friends, Mom and sisters. Basically, shopping trips. But thats fun, right?

Really going to miss my students! Being with them everyday was fun and I feel like they are my own. I will have to look for them at church. Now I am so anxious for next year. Blessed to know that I will see them in the halls.....

This summer, I am going to set my alarm clock. Really. No beauty sleep for me. No sleeping until lunch time approaches. No sleeping in! It messes my life up going to bed late and sleeping late. So early to bed and early to rise. Now, dont get me wrong, early to rise isnt actually going to be early. It means 8:00am.

So, I hope you enjoy your summer like I will. Spend some time with your family. It's going to be awesome.

Oh .... John 16:33 "I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.”

advice

i want to help people who need help. i dont like giving advice when i know its all in vain. i want people to change when they ask for help. why does it seem so easy for me to change? why is it so hard for someone to come out of something so painful and hard? can't they just say "no more" and move on? i struggle with this...i shouldnt.

anyway, life is good...work is good.

summer

just chillin at home this sunday morning. i enjoy our evening services at church. it gives me some "me" time on sundays. love it!

things are going wonderful in my life. i have been enjoying each and every member in my family. i need to make time for them because i miss them when i dont.

i have 38 days left of school. i look forward to summer. i wonder what i will do this summer break? i know one thing...i will enjoy myself.
