Where has 2011 gone?

As I sit here writing this, I can not believe that it is already March 5th. Where has 2011 gone? I feel like I just started back up at work again after Christmas break, and now it is already time for spring conferences! Crazy!

Life has been good though! Nothing to out of the ordinary happening! Still loving my job, and realizing more and more how much I am going to miss my class next year! I know I will get a great new group of kids next year, but I just really really love my class this year! They are the most perfect first class you could ever ask for! :)

We went on our field trip to the Tucson Zoo last week, and it was a ton of fun! It was a beautiful sunny day, and the kids loved seeing all the animals! My class and Becky's shared a bus for the hour and 15 minute trek, and it was hilariously fun! We taught the kids how to do the semi honk, so we spent the entire trip trying to get semis to honk! It was adorable! Every time we would get one to honk, the whole bus would go NUTS with cheering! So cute!

Drama club is well...still drama club! It's a lot of work, but it's also a lot of fun! We are starting to prepare for the musical Aladdin that we will be performing in May! The kids are doing a great job so far, and I think it is going to turn out really well! Only time will tell though! Hopefully Becky and I will not have to do as much as the set work this time!

Life outside of work is really good! The weather has warmed up, and I am enjoying the beautiful sunshine! I got to lay outside by the pool today for a few hours and it was glorious! It feels a little bit like every weekend is summer vacation, and I love that! Steve and I are good! Having lots of fun as usual, and enjoying one another more and more each day! Our schedules right now are really compatible so that is nice because we get to spend a lot of time together! :)

So as you can see, things are pretty good right now! Me and Becky both received Teacher of the Month at our school for March, so that was exciting! We are known as the MN Twins at our school, so they thought it fitting that we win together! :) So work is good, drama club is good, and my life outside of school is good! Overall, I am loving AZ, and I am loving teaching! :)

Thanks for all the prayers and support! Miss you all and love to everyone!
