Little kid at heart...that's one thing that will never change

This is the first week I have not seen the students I have been working with! I can honestly say I miss them so much! I won't be able to see them till next Wednesday! It stinks not being able to go and work with them for so long. Guess this a preview for the end of every school year, when my class moves up to the next grade level. I guess you can say I am definitely looking forward to next Wednesday!

This 5 day weekend has been absolutely amazing! After all the troubles I have had with my shoulder, after three years I was able to ice skate again. First time back on the ice honestly felt so amazing, never thought that I would still be able to do jumps and spins (of course I was a little rusty). I not only got to skate for fun but I was able to teach all in one day! I taught a group class and a private lesson. It was probably the most fun I had all of break. My first private lesson ended up being a 5 year old girl with autism. Two things that I truly care about in life tied together, it was so great. Her parents were really amazed at how well I was able to work with her. I guess everything in life ties together some how. Thanks to Bridget for getting me back on the ice, I really enjoyed it. We have to do it more often! The next day I went line dancing at Colorado Cafe! It was so much fun I almost rode Buck-Off the bull but chickened out. Don't worry, I embarrassed myself enough dancing...considering I am one of the most uncoordinated people on the planet. This weekend I also made a bunch of little things that someone gave to me for free. I think I am going to give them to the students I work with. I don't really know what they are called but they are the little beads you iron together to make different things like a dinosaur or a whale...personally I think they are awesome. Not going to lie I kind of enjoyed making all of them...guess that is what happens when you have a lot of spare time on your hands. Here is a picture of two of them that still need to be ironed! Wally the Whale and Dina the Dinosaur! Honestly one of the best weekends in a long time! Hope everyone had as much fun over break as I did!

  3. I have finally found a way to comment on your blog, but it has not been easy. I am trying to figure out what requirements you have placed on the people who want to comment on your blog. Have you required that they be a follower? Please see me about your comment stipulations. Other than that I like your blog. The Florida wedding sounded like fun...............it also sounds like material for a movie. Dr. Ries
