Spring Break

This last week has been Spring Break. Being a third grade teacher really makes me appreciate these breaks. I never understood how badly teachers needed this break. As much as I love teaching, I need this time away from my students. My sister Lindsay and my niece Kaitlyn have been in town so it has been fun to spend time with them. I love when Lindsay comes because we always go eat at my favorite places: Cafe Rio, Brick Oven, Pizza Factory, and Hickory Kist.

While she was here, we went up to the Discovery Gateway. It was fun for the little kids. It was really crowded and it was hard to keep up with all of them. At one point, I was watching Kaitlyn and Emrie and all of the sudden, Kaitlyn was gone. I couldn't believe it! I thought I was paying attention, but with all the people, I lost her. Luckily, a lady saw me and asked if I was looking for a little girl in a white shirt. She directed me to the playhouse Kaitlyn had ran into. I was very relieved I didn't lose her. I decided Discovery Gateway was a fun place to go, but I don't want to go back until I have my own kids. Kids were running everywhere and all I wanted to do was make them sit down like I do with my third grade students!!!

HEATHER! HI! It's been a while since we've talked!! I didn't know you were teaching? That's awesome! I've wanted all our friends to get a blog for the longest time but no one would and now slowly you guys are. YEAHHH! SO how are things going?!

Lindsay said...

Yeah Heather, I am so glad you FINALLY started a blog. Geez, it took you long enough! We have had such a great time with you while we have been here. I hate leaving everyone but it's just how things are right now I guess.

By the way, you better do a better job at blogging than Jamie because she NEVER updates!

Hey Heather,

I wrote you this long comment welcoming you to the world of blogging and I think it got erased! Anyway Welcome! I am excited to stay in touch with you. Sometimes I feel like we never know what is going on with you guys! Hopefully this will keep us more connected. I heard you are busy-school, softball, putting in your yard, etc...

I hope life slows down.
