Friday Night = Date Night

There is nothing better than Friday afternoon at 3:15. School is out for the week, the weekend has begun, and it's Friday night date night with Aaron. Now that we are officially Hayden residents, we have made it a tradition of going to our favorite restaurant "The Porch" for dinner on Friday nights. Not only is the food amazing, but the company is better :).

Father/Son Weekend

I was able to capture the moment... Aaron and his dad hard at work at our house all weekend. Glen was able to come to CDA for the weekend to get away and have some time doing "projects". Aaron has been looking forward to this day, and it finally came. Aaron made his list and from the time Glen arrived they were hard at work. They did everything from changing light fixtures, changing up the garden area, adding dead bolts to our doors, adding surround sound in the living room, etc. I am blessed to be married to a "fix it" man, and now I know where he gets it!

Like father like son... literally!

A breath of fresh air!

A week has passed since I started with a new bunch of Kindergarten students, and I am still smiling :). All I can say is... the 2nd year of teaching seems WAY easier than my first. The kids have kept me on my toes, I am spending lots of time at school, and I am exhausted as ever, but my first week has been a total joy! Yeah for a new year!!

Rejoicing in Heaven!

After a year long battle with lymphoma, Aaron's mom went to be with Jesus a little over a week ago. We were blessed to be able to spend her last week with her, and were thankful that our school schedule allowed for us to spend two weeks with Aaron's dad. It is still very surreal knowing that we will not see her until we meet her in heaven, but it is such a sense of peace knowing that she is with Jesus. Thank you to everyone for your continued prayers and support through the year.
