Another Year Older

How am I already 27? When someone asks me how old I am I want to answer 23! Sure I have now taught 5 years, been married 5 years, and have a one an half year old BUT still I can't be 27! I know it is just a number, and I feel very blessed to have lived, enjoyed, and learned many things during this time.

Brian made my day extra special!

This is what I saw when I walked into my classroom Friday morning. A hand written note, beautiful flowers, and a Diet Coke with vanilla were a great way to start my birthday.

Then I turned around and saw my screen pulled down, projector out, and computer on. He had set up the video he posted for me to watch. Another great start to my birthday! I also got to share the video with my teammates who brought me breakfast. You can't beat kolaches and donouts eaten sitting on top of a table with teammates who are wonderful!

Beautiful flowers from my love!

Birthday dinner with my One an half year old cutie:) I had a low key evening due to the fact that I was exhausted from the week of teaching.

My family God blessed me with! Thanks to everyone for the birthday calls, texts, messages, and songs (Dad- yours was the best!)

My prayer for the next year is that of my school's vision: to be better today than I was yesterday. I want to be more like Christ each day that I am living on this Earth; a better wife, mom, daughter, sister, friend, teacher, co-worker, neighbor, and stranger.
