In my own defense my laptop decided to poop out on me about a month ago, so I obviously had to get a new one -- which took its time in arriving.
It's been a super busy Spring, so far, and I'm just so excited for LTP (my internship at church) this summer.
I'm pretty much going to do a photo update because pictures are amazing, and well, they explain way better than words what I've been up to.
My last day of this school year is next week, and I'm really excited but totally sad at the same time. I have LOVED having my own classroom, and I have been blessed with amazing kids and parents. A few weeks ago I decided to go all out during art time, so I stripped the kids down to their diapers and let them body paint with fingerpaint. It was HILARIOUS! And yes, I took pictures:
I am going to miss the chaos, the cuteness, and the absolute joy that comes from watching my kids blossom from babies into real kids.
When I'm not at the school working, I've been babysitting a ton to bring in extra dough & to keep myself occupied. I should be busy packing, as I'm moving out of my beloved apartment in a week. I will so miss my big pink wall:
Living alone has been such an amazing experience. I've learned more than I ever imagined about managing money, paying bills, dealing with really loud thunderstorms at 3am solo, and myself in a year than I could have ever dreamed. It's been a true journey, but it's been worth it. I will move into a house my church owns for the internship, but I plan on living solo again after the internship because I already miss it.
And last, but not least... oh this so excited me. A couple of weeks ago I was sitting with the girls after a meeting when Krista walked in looking completely defeated. I questioned the sad face, and she said she couldn't find anyone to go to a concert with her. I asked which concert to which she replied Barry freaking Manilow. I spit I was so excited (true story, ask the girls who got sprayed). Krista's husband bought her 2 tickets for Barry as an early Mother's Day gift, on the premise that she had to find someone to go with her because he was NOT going. So, I totally said I would go, and we had a blast! Now, I know having a closet love affair with a man old enough to be your grandfather isn't the coolest of things, but I've been swooning ever since the concert. It was amazing and beautiful, and I got a t-shirt! Here's Krista & I pre-concert:
And though it doesn't seem so busy as I've typed this out, I feel like I've had a jet pack attached to my back since March 1. It's been so worth the exhaustion though.
