Home Sweet Home

May 26th was 8th grade graduation at my school. I was able to participate in the ceremony by presenting the class and saying their names as they came up for their diploma. After, I went through the line and made them all give me a hug. Ha. Some of them thought I was crazy, but they all gave me one! I told them they were my first class (since I was the 8th grade sponsor) and that I made sure that they all graduated. So with that, my first year of teaching is over. Wow. That is really strange to type.

Since I am now out of school, there was really no reason to stay in Kickadonkey, so this past weekend I moved back home for the summer. I will be the last time I get to live with my family and hang out (almost) every weekend with friends. I really want to take advantage of this time, and it also helps be from being as lonely. I don't have any jobs lined up for the summer, but these past few days have shown me that it will be fine, because I have to say, it is amazing waking up after 9, and just sitting around in your pj's. This whole teaching thing might be worth doing again just for the summer off...lol.

Ahh, yes. I'm forgetting about my wedding shower. The women at school wanted give me a wedding shower/going away party. I received a lot of nice things. Even EW got his 10-speed blender! Of course I had to cry, but I'm not putting any blubbering pictures up, sorry. The shower was great, and I'm really going to miss all of the staff at my school. I'm not sure I will find another school where I feel so liked and appreciated, and where I fit in so well with the staff.

EW's 10-speed blender!

It was a yummy cake!

This summer I have decided to put an ad in the local paper for tutoring. I'll see what kind of response I get, and if there is none, then I'll just enjoy my summer.
