Day 64

Things are super busy around here lately. Finishing projects in all my classes, new course descriptions due for registration packets, planning what to do if we have a snow day during finals, writing finals, ordering supplies for next trimester, getting papers together for our house offer.... that's a lot to do in one week.

So, let's take a break for a minute and check out some of the amazing student work from my Fiber Arts class...

Have I told you how much I love this class?

Day 63

I am so proud of G and I. Look what we made for dinner.

These wontons were so delicious!!! 

They took quite a bit of time to prepare but they were well worth it.

We made two different kinds: cream cheese and pork. So yummy!

Day 62

What's that I see? 

It's 5:30. I just got home from work and do you see that? 

It's the sun. At 5:30!!!! The days are getting longer.

They may still be cold but this is a welcome sight!

p.s. This sun picture is perfect for my post today.

Our offer on a house was accepted! Next step, inspection. Wish us luck!

Day 61

Regardless of how stressful house purchasing can be, how uncomfortable change is, and how terrible it is to not know what is going to happen, I am thankful for this.... I live with my husband and together we work at a school where the kids are trustworthy, honest, and sincere. G and I have been dealing with house stuff this week and I accidentally left my really nice camera out in the classroom when I ran to G's room to chat about the house. I never leave my camera anywhere!!! I really like that thing and in the past have "lost" cameras in schools that I've worked. When I returned to my classroom today in a panic looking for my camera, one student yelled to me as I came running through the door, "It's right here!!! I was watching it for you!!! And I made sure no one touched it!!!!" What a relief. Despite the stressful day and the thought of losing yet another house, it's comforting to know that we have chosen a town where the students watch your back! Thanks Sadie! Here's one of her pieces:

Day 60

With a nod to my friend Kala, I wanted to let you know about a giveaway she is having on her blog today... you should check it out! She is sponsoring Ohdessa Knits and she has some really cute patterns. I myself am very fond of her Owlet Mitten Pattern.. Aren't they super cute?

And with a second nod to my friend Kala, look what I realized today!?!?!?!?! 

Look closely....

That's right, my conditioner is 100% vegan. Aren't you proud of me Kala?

Day 59

Ok, being sick really sucks but you can still find something positive about your day. My happiness today was based on this movie:

Seriously, you have to see this movie. I told G today that if we have a daughter, I hope she's tough enough to be a roller girl. I'm such a wimp that I can only dream that our daughter would follow in her father's footsteps of toughness and then I can go and cheer her on!!! A girl can hope, right?

Day 58

Have you ever been to a SPARKLE PARTY??? Well, let me tell you that they are super fun- mostly because you can make fun of the silly costumes your friends are wearing.... They shall remain nameless but you know who you are!!! 

Pictures may be crap quality but it was a night to remember!
