big news!

life changes SO fast! i've been thinking about returning to teaching for almost a year, and by november i was sure of it. schools here had a break this week and we had a middle school trip to sharptop - it was awesome! so i was planning on telling my team after this break that i was going to try to get a teaching job in the fall. God's timing is so different than mine!

i had an interview last friday morning, and by friday afternoon, i was offered a job teaching high school math at a wonderful school! i start on wednesday, and this past week has been a BLUR! talk about an emotional rollercoaster.

i am so excited and thrilled, but so anxious and scared for my new job. and i am so sad to leave my job and the staff at johnson ferry, they have become family to us and i can't believe that i won't get to work with some of my closest friends anymore. but above all else, i have this crazy peace that can only come from God, that he has chosen me to step into this role, that i am supposed to spend every day helping teenagers. i am not guaranteed employment next year, but at this point i don't even care! psalm 139 keeps reminding me that God knows about all of my days, that i don't have to stress or worry, but fully live in the day he has given me!

so today i am going to fully live the rest of today by soaking in the beautiful weather, celebrating another k-state victory, and going to see never say never with some of my high school friends! bieber fever baby!

Saturday mornings

I've been looking forward to this morning for a while! I've put in a lot of hours at work lately and couldn't wait to grab a few more minutes of sleep! and penny was especially snuggly this morning, love it!

I came home from jazzercise to this



open floor plan?

bring on the French doors, sliding door, you will not be missed!

then I made my dad's famous green smoothie and skyped with Libs, ruff, and my parents.

oh Saturday, I think I love you.
