Easter, New Job

Well Easter was great. We went to church and my aunt came along with us. I was so glad to have her join us. It felt so good to go to church this year on Easter, in the past years we have gong to church on Easter because it was Easter but this year we went because we are involved and we love it. Of course the kiddos were all dressed in their Easter best.

I started my new job today. It was soooo overwhelming. I thought I was going to pull my hair out. Don't get me wrong, I am sooo grateful for this job and very excited, but it is hard to go to a new place after 7 years. There is so much to learn about the school and where things go where things don't go, all the paper work. I know it will all work out, I am going to be doing a lot of praying this next week. Have you ever felt that you were really good at something but when you go to a new place you find your not as good as you really thought. That's kinda how I felt today. the school I came from there were not that many teachers at this school there are a ton. The school goes from Pre-K to 22 years of age. It seems I am not as good as I had once thought. Some might just say it is all in my head. Well whether Iam good or not I know this is what I really love to do and what God put me on this earth for that and to be a mom, I love that even more.

A quick update on my dad. He is doing very well and may even get to come home tomorrow :)

"Don't cry because it's over"

Smile because it happened! This is my new saying. Well it is official. April 3rd Iam out of a job. A job that I love a job that I have been at for the past 7 years. Let me start from the beginning. When I was in college I did an internship at LifeSpan Circle School. This particular school was school for children with and without disabilities. I loved it there and knew after college I wanted to teach there. After I graduated that is just what I did. I got a job teaching in the oldest room there. I worked with the 4 and 5 year olds. For the first few years I worked with children with and without disabilities. These last few years I have had more EC children and I love it. These children are my heart. This is what I was put on earth to do I know it. Well my company decided to close us and know I feel like my world it broken. This is all I have known for the past 7 years. I have made some of my closet friends here and met some wonderful children who have really changed me as a person. This is all I know. I can't even imagine not going there daily. I found the saying "Don't cry because it's over smile because it happened" and this is soooo fitting. I have been telling myself to look back and look at all the lives I have made a difference in. I will be trying to get a teaching job at the school that all of these children will be going to so I just keep praying and keep my fingers crossed.

Anyway I have to start cleaning out my room and 7 years is a long time to accumulate stuff

That is in my room, not only that but also things in my room and on the walls.

Well I have loved every minute of it and I hope only the best for these kids. I love everyone of them like they were my own.

Open House

So Kyle will be starting T-K at Hickory Grove Christian School and Iam very excited. We went tonight for open house. Love his teacher Mrs. Bradley, you can tell she really loves what she does. Kyle was not very excited, but once he saw all the fun things to do I think he liked it a little better. It was a hard choice for me to leave him out of kindergarten this year but I feel I made the right choice.
