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!"

Been busy, but still thankful!

THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WED -We went to see Styx in Wenatchee. I was a little suspect, if they would be that good or not, but HOLY smokes, they rocked the house :)))) And, I didn't know the opening band, who happened to be a local one--Linus and Lucy. THEY WERE AWESOME!

Thurs- LOTS of things for which I am thankful today!! GONNA have to write a list for this day:
1) My step-daughter ROCKED her report card :) SO proud of her and that she can see how our hard work pays off, especially the extra credit!
2) I got my hair done finally! I had to change appointments twice, so it was VERY overdue, and I am thankful to have the gray gone...makes me feel like a new woman :)
3) I bought my tickets to Vegas, which I am headed down there at Spring Break. I am so excited :))) I am thankful to have the week off, and to be able to spend it with my family :)
4) My step-daughter made the paper (again)!!! She ran a lemonade stand with one of her little buddies this summer. They donated the money to the local hospital. SO sweet :)

Fri -I went to a friend's funeral. I really cared deeply for Marge, and I was thankful that she was in my life!!! She is one of the VERY first people I met when I moved here! What an incredibly STRONG and exceptional woman, so inspiring.

Sat-SOOOOO thankful for a trip out of town to Everett and Seattle! I had such a blast :) We went to STATE cheer--watching one of our girls perform as an All-American!! And, some AMAZING schools which inspired us to compete as a team next year!!! We went to the Seattle Center, and let me tell ya the SPACE needle was GORGEOUS :) And, we hit up Pike Place Market,the gum wall, and even down to the waterfront. SOOOOO many laughs, and such a fun girl time!! It was nice to escape, and the weather was LOVELY :) I am thankful for the getaway.

Sun
Today was an awesome drive home from the other side of the mountains, and then off to our best friends to watch the Super Bowl, like we do EVERY year. Good times, lots of fun with a group of our VERY good friends! I am thankful for that time!
