Almost time

Yesterday I spent all day in my classroom beginning setup for another year. It was a great day to be at school since they were hosting a fun fair for the kids and parents to welcome them back. I was really excited to see a few of my students from last year roaming around the building. However, they were even more excited to see me. It was so cute how they would say my name and coming running as if I was a celebrity. I couldn't believe how thrilled they were that I was there and I was almost as thrilled about them;) I guess I am going to miss having all of them there with me all day, but it's nice they're all across the hall. Possibly because they were my first class of students, I think I'll always feel different about that group of kids. They're all really special to me and I see now that I must be pretty special to them too. That's good closure:)

As for today, I was just spending some time researching a school in Chicago for Brett. We're hoping that they are able to move out here soon. I'd say Joe and I are successful at recruiting new Chicago dwellers:) haha! Now I need to get in gear and get ready to leave for Grand Rapids. Joe and I are visiting friends for a pre-wedding weekend of fun. The boys are tubing with beer?! Sounds relaxing, while the girls will be visiting an art fair and the beach. Of course, we'll be relaxing with beer-type drinks after this:) Should be fun, hope the traffic is alright:)

Oh yeah, and I think I'm lactose-intolerant. This sucks, I love cereal!
