My blog got a facelift. I'm about to be starting my 3rd year of marriage and my 2nd year of teaching (so glad to have one full year behind me!), so I decided not just to change the "About Me," but to give my blog a whole new look.

This is the LAST week of school! I'm so glad to be able to say that. Most of the teaching is done; now it's just review and giving the final. It's the home stretch, and I'm feeling good about it. I can't believe there are only 2 days of school left! This summer our campus is being cleaned for asbestos and renovated in some areas, so we have to have everything put away and out of the room. I was finally so excited to find things to fill up my classroom and now I have to take it all down. Today I had the students line up along the wall. It was so I could take their picture, but one student asked, "Are you going to throw things at us?" Hmmm...now there's an end of the year tradition that might be fun!

The Wildcats did not advance to the World Series, nor did they make it to the championship game, so I did not drive 20 hours over the weekend. I was disappointed that things didn't go better for them. Brandon's next baseball journey is to Wichita, Kansas this summer to coach the Wichita Twins. So this summer I'll be traveling between Abilene and Wichita, making a few stops in Ft. Worth along the way to play with my niece!

On an aside, I'd like to be able to post pictures on my blog, but am not sure how to do it. If any of you bloggers know an easy way, please let me know.
