Moving On Up, and Out

So...last night I learned that I'm going to be moving on up. Up where you ask? Well, I'm leaving my comfort zone, my home, my first love-Kindergarten, and moving up to 2nd Grade. My emotions are all over the place right now, excitement, nervousness, scared to death because this is something very new, but it's a move that I think is going to be great for me, and that's what it's all about right...me?!!! The numbers at our school for Kindergarten this year are way down, so we had to lose a teacher either to another school or going up to 2nd. My principal called and asked (ok, really told) me that he wants me to go to 2nd grade. After the initial shock, I'm really ok with that decision. I'm VERY sad to leave my kindergarten team...we've been a solid team for the past 5 years, but I'm also excited to try something new. My biggest concern at the news was about my BFF, my assistant, my partner in crime Pam, but she's been giving a instructional assistant job still at Oakdale...and I'm hoping to work my magic and at least get her in my room! We are both sad but excited, and actually thankful to still have a job. So...that's my big news on moving on up, well that, and that we are looking into buying our own boat! That's still in the works, but we've found an older boat at a descent price and we are looking into buying it, that way we don't have to use my parents all the time for their boat! I'll let you know how it goes.

Now...moving on out. In a couple of hours we are headed down to the beach for our second get away with our friends. I think I'm going to be leaving the laptop at home this go around and enjoy the time with my hot hubby and fantastic friends. Thanks for sharing in our journey. It's always interesting that's for sure. Pray for me as I begin this new chapter in my life...I'm not going to know what to do with these older students-PRAY! As always, please REMEMBER JACKSON!



PS...Joseph says he's still waiting on some apologizes from 8 people. Whose going to be the first to say sorry in a comment and maybe win a prize?!....
