Well the first week of school is under my belt and I couldn't be happier. The title of this entry is one that sums up the week. The students were wonderful. The class size is great. I just really have nothing to complain about. I'm very appreciative of God placing me here. I'm truly blessed and I need to remember that daily when I head into work. I'm also glad that, this being my last year of teacher before I stay home with our baby and her future siblings, it will be one I can go out smiling on.
Other fun stuff...today has been wonderful. We woke up and just chilled in bed for a while. We watched the baby kick around in my tummy and got out the "BebeSounds" thingy we were loaned. We got to hear her heart beat- oh it is such a beautiful sound! She's been rockin' and rollin' in there today. I've gotten a bunch of house work done. Homemade potato soup is cooking on the stove and cupcakes are in the oven. (I won't mention that these are Matt's birthday cupcakes I was suppose be make last week, and no I don't think this makes me a bad of a wife ;-)
Now I'm procrastinating school work that needed to get done tonight. Matt is out mowing the lawn. He is so cute. He gets all excited about going to the local gardening store to buy fertilizer and dirt. I tell ya, this man is one of little means, and that suits me just fine. I like when he gets excited about his new hobby, aka our lawn. Next week he has us going to these free classes they're offering at the local botanical gardens. He's so pumped, I love him so much!

Matt and I out and about last weekend, enjoying each others company.
Well what a week. It was full time back at work and getting the classroom ready for the little kiddies. And what a week it was. I did so good- low stress for the most part all week. My classroom came together and didn't look to shabby for Open House on Thursday. I enjoyed meeting my new students. They all seemed so wonderful. I hope they feel relaxed about Tuesday, because I don't. I made it all the way through the week before the stress of the school year starting set in. Needless to say, after a full nights sleep (12 hours to be exact) I feel more relaxed and ready to conquer these first few months.
I've spent some time today getting more stuff ready. I still need to head to Lowes and buy a rug and some bins. There is no storage in the room so I need a place for their extra supplies, like boxes of tissues, baggies, and hand sanitizer. I've been praying for the first day to go smooth for them and me. I know that God has put me with these kids and at this school, so I need to trust in Him and it will all work out.
Now I'm off to enjoy the weekend with Matt and Annabelle. We're headed to a friends house for a backyard fire and s'mores. It's been a beautiful day and it will be a wonderful ending. Just to keep you posted little Lauren is doing great, kicking around as I type this. I know I'm going to miss that once I'm not pregnant anymore- which is only a little ways away. Wow time does fly!
