Such a perfect day

I got a new doctor's appointment for this Friday at a completely new clinic!

This year is already one month old and I feel I need to reexamine things so far. I think I've been more focused on the negatives we've been dealing with than the good things I've been blessed with. So, this post is all about the positives!

I don't like to sound cheesy, but I really do love P! He has seen me at my absolute worst and my absolute best. And no matter what, he's right there by my side to love me, support me, dry my tears, cheer me on, carry me when I stumble, pray for me, pray with me, and encourage me. January was pretty rough, but no matter what we went through, he was there. I'm such a lucky girl.

My job...this one could go either way depending on what day it is! I love teaching. I love being in a classroom surrounded by 8th graders. (Yes, I realize this probably sounds completely insane to a lot of people.) There have been days that I just wanted to grab my purse and leave forever. But my kids are some of the most phenomenal people I've ever met. They have the ability to anger me and then immediately make me cry from laughter. They are brutally honest. They want to be treated like adults but still brag if I put a star sticker on their papers. I've decided that 8th graders are some of the most fun people to be around. When I have to miss a day of school, I actually miss my kids. I brag about them as if they were my own children.

My brother is married to the woman of his dreams. He gave me the sister I always wanted! He's in the police academy right now and they are having to spend the next several weeks apart from each other. I know this is so hard on both of them, but I also know how much better off they will be once he's finished. They will be and are being blessed so much right now. I'm glad to see him so happy!

My parents have been so supportive to me my entire life. They always made sure Daniel and I always had the best of everything. They provided so much more for me than I even realized at the time. They taught me what it is to be a parent. I'm not sure if I'm going to try to be like them when I become a parent or just drop my kids off at their house since they did such a good job the first time around!

Ok, this month's posts are going to be focused on the positives in my life! I'm going to be more productive emotionally, spiritually, physically. I'm going to get the ball rolling on some projects in my life. This is going to be an amazing year!
