I am preparing for my 14th beginning to the school year and I am almost as excited as the first year I go my job here at Oak Grove!! I have so many reasons to be excited and so many revolve around my family at work and the students I love to teach. I also excited to see all the families in the district who have been so amazing to me with or without cancer!! I am about to begin teaching the last child in one family who I have been blessed to teach all of their children since the oldest was in 2nd grade 6 years ago. This family has also been so supportive all of those years and have become good friends due to activities all of our kids have been involved in over the years. It will be bittersweet to end this school year because it will be like an ending of an era BUT I will then do the same with many other families as more and more siblings grow up. This same family gave me a fabulous gift while I was recovering from surgery-- a box of pink fortune cookies!! They really are fun and cheered me up so much because every time you open them they have a message of well wishes for ME!!
There are so many people at Oak Grove that I cannot wait to spend more time with!! Teaching is my calling and this place is where I am supposed to do this!
My own children begin school this coming week... where did the time go? I am so thankful that I am able to see them off to their first day before I start work. It is the big year for us since Katelynn is in 4th grade and the twins are in Kindergarten!!! We have made it!! The supplies are bought the clothes are picked out and the shoes are found and matched up. I am looking forward to having them all in the same school! Keith will get a little more sleep with the schedule so he is happy! :)
Life is an adventure and I know this week will be one of the biggest so far!
