Thanks!!

Thursday- I am thankful for surprises. I can't tell the surprise right now, I will share it in a couple of weeks, but BOY OH BOY...I LOVE SURPRISES!!!!

Friday- Fridays that our little one comes home are SO MUCH FUN! We had Papa Murphy's, played around and just enjoyed each other!

Saturday- Thankful for good times with friends :) We went to the Oyster and Prime Rib Feed at the Elks, which I am starting to feel like a regular at the Elks, since we have been going to all of their feeds lately!! It was good food, but even better, I love being there with our good friends! I love how we all get along, which I think is unique :)

Sunday - Today we headed up to Oroville for a special Girl Scout celebration of 100 years! It was fun, and I love that my co-leader and I get along so well :) We drove up together, and we planned out what we are going to do for World Thinking Day which is this next Wednesday!!

Saturday!!

I had a great Saturday :)) Lots accomplished and the best part was a birthday party at Breadline!! We are close to the Little Family, and so we are included any many family events, and last night we celebrated Laini and Grammie Marilyn's birthdays!! SO MUCH FUN!!!!!!! We bought Laini a tool set--being practical since she is going off to live on her own in a few months!! And, we bought her a 24-pack of toliet paper!!! TEE HEE--inside joke :) But, it was pretty funny carrying that into the Breadline!!! LOL And, I also got her a super cool water bottle!!

I am thankful for the incredible people I have in my life. LOVE.

THANKFUL, indeed!

Thursday- Reading--I love to read! I love it when my students give me ideas of books to read. I VORACIOUSLY consumed The Hunger Games trilogy in a week! Now, I am on book two of the Maze Runner series!! HOLY SMOKES! I am so glad I have a Kindle Fire!!! ***completely, separate comment, I did download ALL of my music from my i-pod onto my Kindle Fire, how cool is that??*** Anyhow, I love that when I finished the first book, I could download the second book right away, and start reading, and not have to wait to get to the library or store!! AWESOME series!!!!

Friday - MY SPINNING class...OH MY GAWSH! It was such a blast!!! And, such cool people in the class :))))) Then it was 80s day, and I loved it when one of my little MS students said, "Oh my gawsh, you look like a high schooler!" It was just a great day! After school we went and sold Girl Scout cookies, which our little one has a goal of selling 200 boxes, and she sold 70 in just two hours :) I am so appreciative of the people who support her! And, boy what a difference in her...she used to be so shy! Then we went home and had our Family Friday Night!!! LOVE PLAYING board games with her :) Yahtzee is our favorite!

Saturday--I am thankful for friend time! We went to the crab feed with our best friends, and we had SOOOOO much fun :)) The food was fabulous, and the friendship is SPECTACULAR :)) We made some exciting summer travel plans!

TRULY the highlight of my night: After watching THE cutest couple dancing all night--the gentleman is 77. They stopped at our table to say hi to Ricky, and I said, "You guys are awesome!" Clyde said, "Well, when you have been dancing with your partner as long as we have been, you just dance right." I LOVE IT!!!! What a sweetheart :))

Sunday--I am thankful for family time! I love all of the time we spend together :) Today we went to the movie, and we just always have so much fun together! Then when we came home we finished our valentines which was a blast! My favorite part of that...when my step-daughter said, "I'm pretty sure these will be the cutest valentines at school!"

THANKFUL FOR THIS DAY!!!

THANK YOU!
THANK YOU for everything in this day :)
THANKS!!

I had one of the best days I have had!! It was a blast. I picked up my Mama and baby sis--they live in Vegas. That was definitely the highlight :)

I received LOTS of compliments on my weight loss today, which just keeps me inspired and motivated!

I accomplished lots of things that will make life easier in the next three weeks.

SIGH...Love days like this!!

Friday FAMILY Fun :)

Our little one spends one week with us, and one week with her mom. Our transition day is Friday, so the Friday like today that she comes home MAKES ME SO HAPPY AND THANKFUL :)))) I loved it when she bopped into my classroom with a big smile and gave me a BEAR hug!!

With the exception of football season, we spend our Friday transition as a time to reconnect. We always have whatever family dinner she wants--tonight her choice was tatertot casserole, but I told her I was kinda in the mood to not cook, WHICH IS A BIG TREAT, so she chose Papa Murphy's pizza. We ate pizza, went up to grandma's for a bit, played some Yahtzee(on the board game, not Wii), and snuggled watching a movie!

PERFECT ENDING TO THE WEEK :)

Saturday and Sunday's thanks!
