first year endings....

This week is the last week of school and I have mixed emotions about it.  I am ready to be relaxing some this summer, but I am really going to miss my first Kindergarten class.  I am happy I get the opportunity to stay at PGE next year and still be able to see my big 1st graders in the halls, but its not the same.  I am excited about being a pre-k special ed teacher next year, but as it gets closer and closer to the next school year it makes me nervous.  God has my life planned perfectly so I know I just have to trust in him and know he is placing me in this position for a reason.  So I try to focus on each day at a time and this week is full of fun.... Today we had our kindergarten gradutaion and my kids did such a great job!  I am so proud of their accomplishments this year. I am so thankful for them and also the support of their parents.  I have enjoyed working with each of them so much this year.  The rest of this week will be full of fun, and memories.  We will spend our last few days together eating yummy watermelon for Watermelon Wednesday.  Then on Thursday we will watch movies and eat popcorn for Theatre Thursday!  Friday will be our class party and then my first year as a teacher will be complete. YIKES! :)

Ready or Not...2018

Well it’s New Years Eve....this time last year Barett and I dropped Easton off at my parents house and went on a much needed date night. We had planned on using our gift cards we had gotten from Christmas to go see a movie at the new Ovation theatre in Snellville. When we got there we soon realized the movie was sold out and since it was New Year’s Eve we didn’t want to see a late movie because we wanted to get back home and spend it with Easton celebrating the new year as a family of 3. We ended up eating dinner and going to Gander Mountain to look around...this was one of our last real date nights together. Oh how I would do anything for him to walk in the door and tell me this has all been a bad dream. What I would give to see his face and hug him tightly. The holidays have been so hard but this New Year’s Eve, I’m struggling. I’m ready for a new year because the pain 2017 has brought has been the worst...but I’m not ready to leave 2017 behind either. The closer we get to 1 year wit...

3+3=6

3 months as a family of 3 + 3 months as a family of 2 = Easton is now 6 months old. This is hard. Everyday it gets harder. I don't know who said it would get easier...but IT DOES NOT!! Its crazy where your mind goes when you have basically 20+ hours in the car to do nothing but think. It breaks my heart to know soon we will have spent more time without Barett than with him since Easton has been born. Today is also a happy day though. Easton is a happy, healthy, and perfect 6 month old!! I'm so glad that because of the love Barett and I had for one another we were blessed with our little miracle, Easton. I'm so thankful Barett got to be a daddy to Easton for the 3 months he did. I'm thankful for that time, even if it was very short. I'm thankful for the times he talked and sang to Easton while Easton was still in my tummy. I'm thankful for the 3 months we had as a family. The day Easton was born was the best day of my life. I had my 2 boys in my life and we were ...

HOPE

I wish I could write and say that every day it gets a little easier.  I wish I could say that there has been at least 1 day where I have went all day without crying, but its just not that easy.  I have been told to be honest with my feelings and to be honest I'm not very good at that part.  I so badly want to say I'm okay and seriously mean it when others ask, but I often say I'm okay when I'm really dying on the inside. There is only 3 words that completely sum up how I'm feeling and its always I MISS BARETT so much (okay maybe there are 5 words).  When Barett and I decided on forever we meant it.  I remember during our pre-marriage counseling our preacher asking us both why we wanted to get married.  Our answers were about the same...."he/she completes me, and I cant imagine life without him/her." When we decided to get married we knew we were becoming "one."  When I hurt, he hurt, and when he was happy so was I.  We shared some amazing memori...
