school's out!

well, today was the last day of school for the kids! it was kind of odd, because we were trying to clean up and get everything put away. at least they were helpful. they kept asking for things to do and they did a really good job. one of my kids gave me a little gift. it was so sweet. it was a gift card to a book store and he wrote me a sweet little note inside. his mom wrote me a beautiful card and i felt really special. i thought that i was going to have a hard time letting them go, but i didn't and that's o.k. this year has gone by so quick with all the classes and papers and stress and wedding plans, but i think that it's been a good year. i've learned so much and can't wait to start out as a new teacher. i know it's going to be hard to not have someone else to look to, but i think i can do it. i'm just ready to move on with my next phase of life: getting married! i'm so excited to think that it's on 42 days away. i'm ready to be married and see ben everyday. but i will miss everything that i've known for the past five years. but it's time to move on to bigger and better things. so, cheers that school is out and more in another post tomorrow!
