Thankful Thursdays #1

 Since I am doing this blogging thing as a goal for the summer...I decided to start doing Thankful Thursdays!! I found it through my friend Amber at Cross My Heart Art Designs who got it from Julia at Black Tag Diaries (that link explains what to do for Thankful Thursdays)!! Of course - most of the time at least - I am thankful for my husband, my family, my friends and all the major things, but I think this will make me sit down and really consider some of the things that I won't always pick up on.

So...with that being said...here goes!

#1 - my job - I absolutely love teaching and love everything about the school where I teach. I wouldn't trade it for anything. I am so thankful that the Lord chose to place me here. I truly felt led to teach at a Title-I school. These kiddos need someone to show them Jesus daily...especially because they might not see it at home. Now...don't get me wrong - my kiddos are occasionally crazy, but then again...who of us isn't! and they're especially nuts with only a short amount of time left which brings me to my 2nd thankful thing for today


#2 - my team - This year has been trying, stressful, amazing, and absolutely fun all rolled into one and I am thankful that I got to share it with these ladies. Days like today are awesomely fun! We tested this morning and this afternoon we are doing a reading game that the kids can take home for the summer!! (Yesterday...we did a math game.) I'm definitely excited for next year too...for the same reason...except we're losing 2 members and gaining 2 new ones! It's definitely going to be a fun summer getting to know these ladies better on a NOT school level and just spending time together!


#3 - my curling iron - LOL! I KNOW...a little weird, but I figured I'd throw in something small today too. I woke up this morning and TOTALLY wanted to curl my hair...you know - spirally and so I did! I thought it looked nice and my kids liked it too. But - let's face it - I live in southern central Texas and the humidity and heat today just kinda killed it. I am still thankful for this  because I felt really good about myself this morning...and even wore my MAVS jersey to work! And surprisingly enough - I even like the way it looks now that it's fallen.


I know - that last one was kind of trivial, but still - I'm trying to be thankful in all things. And last thing...

#4 - that I get to see Suzi AGAIN this weekend - now...this photo is a throw back to a few years ago...and I even have some that go back 10+ years, but this is one lady that I absolutely adore and LOVE getting to spend time with!!

So...there are my things for Thankful Thursday #1! 

and I totally have found a design that I like...YEA!!
