The Night Before . . .

Just a couple thoughts on the night before a new school year. Trust me when I say teachers get nervous too, but mostly excited!

"Teaching is an exhausting job. I did not, however, expect to be emotionally exhausted. I suppose the easiest way out of this dilemma would be to make myself emotionally unavailable to my students . . . Not this teacher. This teacher can't help but share in some of these emotional moments. I can't turn off a portion of myself when I walk into the classroom. It's either all of me or nothing. "

It's Always Twilight in Forks!


While I was in Washington this Summer I dragged my family to Forks to see all the Twilight tourist spots. So fun despite the LONG drive! Here are a few highlights.




The beach was SO pretty and voted by all as the best part of the day!
