*I had my birthday. It was maybe the best birthday I have had in a long time. First of all Alisa was here. So I started my birthday with her singing to me and Charline texting me shortly after midnight. This reminded me that I have two of the very best friends ever! I woke up to birthday greetings from my family which is a tradition in my family and I love it. I miss the days that we all lived in the same house and I got woken up to in person birthday greetings...but phone greetings are good too. I love this tradition. When I have a kid(s) I want to always wake them up on their birthday and tell them the story of how special they are and how God brought them to me cause those are some of the best moments. The day continued by me finding out that Erica was in town two days early. I got to go spend some time with her and Trevor for the morning. Then I got to have lunch with Ringo. I was so thrilled that he was in town and the timing was perfect. I met his friend, we had lunch and then went to the high school to show her where we went to school. This was so fun! Then I took a nap and got ready for Bible School. At Bible School the kids all sang to me. After Bible school Shelley and Charline came over for cake and punch. My day was so great. My friends and family are so amazing.
Me, Ringo and his friend!
*I got to have lunch with Erica, Jamie and Alyse. We started out with Trevor but he did not want to be at lunch so he hung out with his daddy and we had a girls lunch. It was so good to hang out with them all at the same time. We wished that our friend Dana had been able to make it, but she couldn't come. Alyse entertained us all. She talks so much!
*Oh, our family celebrated other birthdays! We had birthday parties for Alyse, then Hunter, then Levi. Levi was so sleepy at his party he couldn't even really enjoy opening his gifts. I love seeing him discover new things though. I am amazed by little kids!
* I went to the Kindergarten Conference at the Lake of the Ozarks. This is where lots of Missouri kindergarten teachers get together for a few days to learn about new things in education and ideas about bringing fun things into your classroom. It was pretty good. I got some good ideas and I got to know the girl I will be teaching with next year.
*I went to see the newest (and last ever) Harry Potter movie which was Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2. Gosh I love that movie. I did not read the books when they first were popular. I was not part of the crowd who stood there in line waiting to get a book. I was a late comer to the HP phenomenon. But I did in fact read every single book BEFORE I watched ANY of the movies. I prefer to have my own pictures in my head of how the characters look before I see them on screen. I read the books quite quickly and then saw all the movies. The last one I went with Mepps and I waited in line to see the midnight premiere. It was well worth it. As a matter of fact I am going to see it again tomorrow night with my sister.
I am sure that there are more things I could write about to update you on my life...but I guess that's all I can think of for right now. I still have some things coming up this summer and soon it will be back to school. Soon it will be time to navigate my way through the chaos of kindergarten while adding as much sparkle as possible. When I think about all the new adventures that lie ahead of me I am excited and nervous all at the same time. Some kind of big things are happening in my life...things that will eventually be a whole other blog post and that I am excited for you to read. Basically I guess until then I am just trying to stick to the status quo!
That's all for now. I finally finished reading the Chronicles of Narnia books so I'm working on writing a review for them. :)
