Life

Life has been very hectic this month! Last week was a busy week with my parent/teacher conferences. Many long nights of talking, getting home late, and not a lot of sleep! My conferences went very well and I'm glad they are through! Only one month until Spring Break and we can leave all our stress here and enjoy Disney World! We can't wait!

Nate has been extremely busy with Science Olympiad, which started right after Christmas break. This week were his parent/teacher conferences. Many long nights for him also, but his went well too! Nate's SO team will be competing in a few weeks at GVSU for the regional competition. He has some stressful times ahead as he decides on his team. I don't know how he does it!

So the month of March will hopefully be exciting around our house. We have someone coming to work on the basement sometime this month. We can't wait to get some of it finished. It will be so nice to have the bedroom completed so our guests will have a bit more privacy. I hope to post pictures as it all unfolds.

It's Almost Valentine's Day!

Valentine's Day is almost here! The decorations, cards, and candies were in stores as soon as Christmas was over. I have been reminded about this holiday for awhile and finally went to get my special Valentine's cards for my students today. As I sat and filled out each of my cards for my students, the memories of Valentine's Days past filled my mind.

As a child I would get extremely excited for this special day because of the little Valentine's cards. I remember when I was a little girl making my beautiful card holder every year and awaiting the moment when I would get to open each card. I remember stressing over which cards I would give the boys in my class. I didn't want any one of them thinking I really liked them, well maybe just a certain boy in the class. The time came to open my cards and what a fun time that was. I would sit and look at my cards for hours. Oh the little things in life!

Now my cards are all filled out and I will pass them out to my students this week. I know they will be just as excited as I was as a child to open each and every one of those special cards. I always enjoy watching them open their cards and then showing their friends. Oh the little things in life that make us so happy!
