This 3-day weekend was just a taste of what's to come. It was long enough to feel like summer vacation was already starting. And I enjoyed getting to see some girlfriends who were visiting Abilene. On Saturday Brandon and I went with my parents to Lake
Brownwood to enjoy Memorial Day weekend with some of my family. We enjoyed taking out the boat and swimming in the lake and visiting with family. Sunday we had the pleasure of hearing our friend Josh Ross preach at Highland and visiting with him and
Kayci and their son
Truitt. This is a picture from church of Jenna,
Kayci, Leah, me, and the kids. Leah was so nice to let me borrow one of hers for the picture!
I love the feeling of going to bed without setting an alarm to wake up at any particular time in the morning. Monday I celebrated the holiday by having lunch with Jennifer, Jenna, and Leah.
I also went to a matinee movie, a cookout at my sister's, and played miniature golf and laser tag. Such a fun weekend made me really anticipate this summer. I am so excited to spend a summer in Abilene with Brandon!
As excited as I am about the school year ending, I am going to miss my students. By the end of the year, we know each other so well that we get along easily. Next year the students I taught my first year as an 8
th grade Language Arts teacher are going to be seniors. Our huddle will be seniors as well. Tonight Brandon and I went to a retirement dinner for John
McCabe, my freshman U.S. history teacher. He has taught for 46 years. I can't imagine how many students he has impacted and how much things have changed since he started teaching. He has become a fixture at Abilene High with his idioms and "
McCabisms" and he will be missed.
