I gotta feeling... that this year's gonna be a good, good year!

I have not been a very good blogger since going back to school! Sorry friends. Work was really good this week, it was just exhausting! We had an incredible speaker on Friday FROM Grapevine-Colleyville ISD {where I did my student teaching!} and that helped get us all motivated for the year. :)

So goodbye summer, hello new school year!

We had Open House on Thursday and I met a little more than half of my students. I have quite a mix this year! I remember being so nervous last year at this time of year... asking myself, how am I going to handle twenty-something third graders? This year I feel so ready - so positive about having a good year. I think knowing that I will be out for 8 weeks has actually helped get me incredibly organized and ready for the year - everything I've put together I've made sure was something a sub could organize and carry forward.

My anxiety has also probably been more focused on the fact that in twenty-something days, I'll have a baby! I can't wait to hold him and see his precious little face. I get overwhelmed about how good God is just thinking about how blessed are to be expecting a little miracle! Right now, I'm more nervous about getting everything ready for the new baby - in the house and material wise. I do have some pre-mom-jitters, but I know we'll learn together - me, Kent, and Chad - how to get through those. :)

So here's to a good year all around!
