Last First Day of School for Me!

Well, I'd like to say this was a bittersweet moment for me today, but.....I'm ecstatic!!! Today was my last first day of college!! I start student teaching Monday and we have workshops on campus today and tomorrow. In true Block form, my best friend Kara and I, counted out the weeks and realized we are actually done in 15 weeks!! I need to type how happy this makes me in case I need to look back around week 8 or 9 and remember how enthused I was in the beginning! We've had a long, tough road and it's finally paying off! I'm so blessed to be placed with a wonderful teacher, who has been teaching for 46 years!! How awesome is that?? There were days I wondered if I would ever reach this point. I started off going to college part time and at times, it was very difficult to push through, working so many hours on top of school, with 2 kids. Then 1 day , my wonderful husband told me to quit and go to school full time. I'm so happy that I can start my career, thanks to him, and contribute :) This is just a wonderful day! And to top it off, Golden Girls is back on T.V. tonight! The kids had to come hang with me during the workshop today, and we had lunch. Tomorrow is a short day and I plan to bring my camera to snap some shots on campus. It's always so beautiful in the Spring, but it's also pretty now :)

Riley didn't want to pose any today! :) AND Mrs. Kara brought them 2 new Diary of a Wimpy Kid books! How awesome!
