Whirlwind

Whirlwind does not even begin to describe the past week. I've had this goofy looking smile pasted on my face since Wednesday and I don't think it's going to disappear or fade anywhere in the near future. At this point in time I'm very thankful for new friendships. Why? Because sometimes those friendships evolve and grow into very beautiful things.

And right now there is a red rose standing proudly on my kitchen table.

[Yes. Miss H has a boyfriend. ;) ]

I know I'm loved

It makes my day when:

• One of my students from the past two years comes back to see me for math help even though she's now taking Algebra II in the high school.
• An amazing group of my high school students from last year come back to visit me after school.
• I have a marvelously long surprise phone call with a close friend from college as she drives from MI to KY.
• My dinner plans include pesto cavatappi with grilled chicken, tomatoes, and mozzarella cheese. Mmmmm... one of my favorites. :)
• I can enter school grades from my computer at home.
• I realize I've had nearly a week of consecutive wonderfully eventful evenings.
• There are only 15 days separating me, Colorado, and one of my dearest friends.
• Tomorrow is Friday, Colts day at work, and a long-awaited coffee date with none other than Mrs. V. :)

Siblings

Mine are the best. Hands down. No contest. They rock.

And once you've met all three of us I think each of us makes more sense as an individual. Once you know the whole it's easier to understand the part. :)

Love you guys!
