 This is soooo true

Leslie took this wonderful saying from Sister Hinckley 

then added Kirk's Balloon picture to make it complete.

Bitter/Sweet

It is full!

This is a bitter/sweet time.... Filling up the Blue Filing Cabinet with stuff that no would want except me, but then I don't even have use for it after a couple of weeks. Then look at all the flowers not to mention all the cards and homemade letters I am receiving.  It is marvelous! I will miss teaching......

Time Flies Fast

Since my last post many things have transpired in my life and the journey has been filled with many memories.

I will touch on just a few. 

 I took off a day from school to watch these 2 rascals  while Leslie went on a Filed trip. 

They sure love the little car!

Looking up into the future of 2013

 As Kirk and I were up high in the boom lift looking in all directions I was contemplating that this 2013 will be a year of many adventures. We just need to live to the best of our abilitities. Show love and serve others.

 Yes I am actually up, up highand it was not scary ...it was exciting .....
