i'm still alive

remember back when i said 2012 was not going to be a year of changes for us? that we were just going to be boring? ha. well, then i went and quit my job. 

my last day is next friday. i'm taking a few months off and then going back to teaching! i am over the moon with this decision. i miss teaching and minis and and lesson planning and learning from little people while i teach them. i miss working in a school community and loving on little ones every day. wahoo! and, yeah, the whole summers off thing, that's not so bad either.

i'm sorry for the radio silence for the last few weeks, but between trying to close things out at work, another work trip to to seattle and some other stuff, it has been very busy.

since i last wrote, my dad celebrated his 60th birthday, and we tried to get 60 candles on a cake. this nearly ended in disaster.
 
 
 

my stepbrother and his girlfriend got a new puppy that i contemplated kidnapping.
 


isn't he precious? 

 

i've been rocking the red pants entirely too much. with crab flip flops. 
 


countdown until i'm officially a lady of leisure (for a little while, at least): 7 days!

You are so brave, but it sounds like you're making a great decision. I really want to leave my job and try to write full time, but I don't think that's going to happen for a while. :-/ Hope you enjoy your break!
