Wow, time is going by fast. I feel like every day, everything is a mile a minute. I'm so busy with work, wedding planning and now starting my 10 year reunion planning...I feel like my brain never rests. I'm constantly thinking about something from the moment I wake up to when I lay in bed trying to go to sleep. I don't feel stressed; I just feel busy. 

School:  My mind is always thinking about my students. What can I do to challenge them? Where do they need more support? Why is their behavior the way it is? Funny/sad/happy/educational/mad/amazing/frustrating moments that happened during that day. I love my job. I love my students. It makes me feel a sort of happiness that I can't explain. I love being a person in their life that they can go to and count on. I love being a positive role model for them. I want them to leave not only knowing their ABC's, sounds, numbers and reading....but to leave with a lot of life long skills such as friendship, making good choices, hard work, etc. Teaching is definitely not easy. People who complain that teachers get lots of vacations and too much pay, do not know the lives of a teacher at all. All summer I plan for the next year. All summer I'm thinking of better ways to teach. All summer I'm trying to regain the energy I lost during the school year, lol. I do not get paid that much, but honestly that's not what matters. Point is, I love what I do....but man does it constantly have my brain at work. This past weekend I went to dinner and ended up sitting by a man who found out I am a kindergarten teacher. He told me that he respects teachers and said, "Hats off to you!" What an amazing man! Lol. I would've hugged him if it wasn't weird. For all of you who call my job "babysitting"...please come in and teach (not watch) the sixty, five and six year olds I see daily. 

Wedding: Let's just face it. Weddings are a butt load of planning and work. I feel like I'm doing okay though and I have a lot of support from both mine and Daniel's families. I love them so much. I've been watching way too many bridal shows on Netflix that are full of unnecessary drama and headaches. Me and Daniel are both really laid back people for the most part. We aren't picky about a lot of things and we are probably the opposite of what you would call a "bridezilla/groomzilla" I'm trying not to stress out about it. I love Daniel, that's the most important thing. 

Class reunion: The planning has recently started. It's a lot to think about and I don't really know what direction to go for some things.  We have a great team working together though, and I feel confident that things will come together nicely. I honestly cant express myself enough on how much I appreciate the people who are helping, putting their ideas in and taking charge on important tasks. I honestly love how we can just all put our heads together and work towards a goal with the common interest of making a great party for our fellow classmates. I also think its amazing how people can just come back together with such kindness and positive attitudes. 

So that's what's going inside my head right now. I feel like 2014 is going to be a super busy year; but also a great one that lots of people will remember for a long time.
