My Mother had to come pick my up at college and take me to the doctors. I hurt my foot/ankle more than I thought. I now have to wear this thing for a while.... Still can not drive :(

OUCH

I am currently in a lot of pain. I had a really bad fall that hurt my ankle very bad. I spent Monday in the ER. This was not the end of break I wanted. It has been super hard trying to teach kindergarten like this. I did go into school today... I will prevail over the pain. Just please keep me in your prayers......Thank you.

Easter

HAPPY EASTER :)


( This is Justin and I last Easter)

Justin is now living in FL so this Easter lacked a visit from him.

I love seeing the Joy of Easter in a child's eye :)

Something about it melts my heart.

So In LOVE

I am so in love with the gift of teaching that God has given me. I have had the wonderful chance to be teaching kindergarten for the past four weeks and I can not say how happy it has made me. I feel so at peace when I am there working with the children. This has been a dream and passion of mine I have been going after my whole life. The childhood I lived through was pretty icky and to know for a few hours a day I can provide a child with happiness brings me such joy. I know if it were not for a few of my teachers - I would have never seen happiness during the course of a day. I also know I am so in love with teaching.... because I have been home on break and I rather be with my 21 kiddies... I miss reading to them - singing/dancing with them - helping their minds grow :)...

Hangin with my Family

I had a wonderful day with my cousin Michele and her boys (Baby Owen, Nicholas, and Drew)! She came and captured me at my house. I had broken my glasses the night before and can not drive without them. We took the kids to a playground. Then we went shopping and took my glasses to get fixed. At the end of the day Michele took me to her best friend Teri's house for a tea light party... it was cute. I have known Teri forever...she lived next door to Michele- it is funny because I remember Teri and Michele taking me to the park all the time. So my second spring break is off to a good start:) .

Miss you

I miss my family in Italy really bad.... It has been many months since I have seen them.... My cousin Zachary is going to be a big brother in about six months :) It is such an exciting time for our family... having another little one around. This picture of Zachary and I is from this past summer when they were "home" before the move to Italy.

Jessanna and I. She is a wonderful friend and I miss her dearly. I can not wait until summer when we are both home from college.

Patch I love you girl. I had no idea I could miss you so freakin much. Life is hard without you. I just want you back at my side. I miss your soft fur... I miss spending every minute in the house with you. Tears still fall from my eyes. The house is so empty without you. I know Mom and Dad are lost without you. You changed them so much :) Girl you will never be forgotten.

On another note:

I am having so much fun teaching Kindergarten!!! I can not wait until I can do it everyday :) My kids went on their fieldtrip this past week... to a hands on house :) It was so cute... they had a blast. There is something about little kids running up to you and hugging you all day long giving you wonderful comments like.. you look pretty today... you smell good... Ms. Sheaff I love you :) Kindergaten is a most wonderful age. They make me laugh so much. I wanna be 5 again :) hehehe
