SHOW US YOUR LIFE @ Kelly's Korner: Favorite Things

"when the dog bites, when the bee stings, when i'm feeling sad...i simply remember my favorite things...and then i don't feel so bad." the sound of music our christmas pic this year.
my side of the fam b.a. (before adam). in front of a taco bell sign, hah.
me and one of my besties, christina. i've known her since i entered this world 27 years ago...literally. i have a picture of when we 1st met--me a day old and christina a few months old.
adam and i at a wedding shower that my class threw for me in 2008.
these are a few of my favorite things...
  • my husband. let me tell ya...i am pretty lucky for getting such a good catch.
  • my parents. again, let me tell ya, i'm pretty lucky on this one, too. you don't get to choose who your parents are, but if i could have chosen, i would have picked the same ones.
  • spending time with family. of course, this includes our oh-so-cute niece and nephews.
  • spending time with friends. doing whatever.
  • teaching presh 5 year-olds!the most fun job ever. gosh, if you need a confidence booster, work with a bunch of 5 year-olds because they love to tell you how wonderful you are. it's totally my dream job (minus the fact that school starts at 7:30!).
  • trying new things. enough with the ordinary.
  • talking. it's probably my fav. thing to do of all time. esp. on the phone. talking to friends, talking to people i've never met before.
  • traveling. esp. out of the country. that way you can see how other people live or how people used to live a long time ago.
  • spring and fall. not too hot. not too cold. just right. oh, and nice and green outside!
  • meeting new people. and hearing their stories.

i like you a LATTE

this week was teacher appreciation week. man, did it sure make me feel lucky. lucky to be at a school with super supportive parents and lucky to have a super supportive hubby.
on monday morning, i found this in my teacher box. it's a mug and it has the most clever saying on it: "thanks a latte for a grande year." (from the pta)
on tuesday morning, i found this poem on my driver's wheel. adam had printed out poems about teachers and there was a different one each day for the next 4 days in my car. so sweet!
each day, the pta picked something special for the kids to bring to school for their teacher. one day, each child brought a flower. this is how my bouquet turned out! not bad!
another day, each child brought in a homemade card. the cards made me smile! i love this one: "your awsome and i am to." hah! i agree.
i especially loved seeing the cards where you could tell the kids were totally sounding out on their own. precious and priceless.
and i loved seeing this message: "you are funny." i have so much fun with my class and try to make make them laugh. mission accomplished. heh.
