HAPPY DAY OF CELEBRATING YOU!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEFFY!!!

Happy Birthday to my forever friend :)

number 3 reason why its amazing to be a teacher

number 1 reason: summer

number 2 reason: snow days

number 3 reason:  power-outage days.  number 3 might need to be bumped to number 2 because its SWEET when you have power and your life isn't threatened by the icy roads, and you dont have to work!

Why do I ever complain about this job?

goodbye summer :(

here's to no more pool visits, sleeping in and free time

here's to cute 7 year olds who I will grow to love :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

You know how when you meet someone and you just know you'll be friends for life?

These two peeps will 100% be my friends for life.  Im not sure what I would do without them.  They love me and challenge me and will always be there for me.  

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GIRLS!!!!!!
