Off to a Great Start!

School is in session! We had a great first week of school. Last Sunday at church the congregation prayed for our students and teachers, that we might go forward and change public schools in the name of Christ. It was a very powerful and motivating way to start the school year. Needless to say, it led into a great week. We are so happy with all of our teachers and know our children will grow so much throughout the course of the year. I am LOVING 4th grade. I have a great class and had alot of my students in 2nd grade. I love working with my friend (& Lexi's teacher) Stacy and am always amazed at the positive energy that flows from her. I have never met someone like her before and try my best to keep up with her. We have lots of exciting things planned for this year. I feel blessed to work in Godley. I couldn't be happier with the school system. We have brand new buildings and our district does an amazing job of keeping up with the larger districts in curriculum, technology, and teaching philosophies. I am excited to see what this year has in store for our family and my students.

A Sweet 6 Year Old


We've had another birthday in our family. Will turned 6 last week! Wow, how time flies! If you've spent much time around this boy, you'd know why I chose this title for this post. He's as sweet as they come, and I do mean that. He is all boy, rambunctious, wild, and dirty, but his heart is pure and tender. I see great things for this little boy. My hope is that his heart will remain tender, yet strong and that he will follow God's plan for his life.
Last week we celebrated his birthday by letting him pick out a pair of boots and eating pizza. This weekend we went to visit grandparents and Gammy bought him a cake. This Saturday we will celebrate with friends.
