Self- Esteem Booster...

I was recently called as the Young Women's Laural Advisor in our family ward. (By the way, Chris was also recently called to be the Young Men's President. We are totally taking the youth over!) At first I was nervous, sad to leave my primary class, but excited to be with the youth. After two weekly activities and one Sunday lesson, I am totally jazzed. If you are needing a quick self-esteem boost, get involved with the youth. I was floating on cloud nine...

"I love your shoes!"

"Wow, where did you get your purse!"

"You have such a nice smile!"

Why thank you girls! Treats on Sunday for sure!

My New Favorite Holiday

Wow, college didn't prepare me for the most exciting part of being teacher, Teacher Appreciation Week. Hello, best day of my life! So much food and so many sweet notes for the wonderful paraprofessional's in my classroom. I didn't even know it was Teacher Appreciation Week, or that there was such a thing. (How did I miss that? There must have been some shiny objects in the classroom or something to distract me)

Anyway, I just wanted to say THANK YOU to all my peers and coworkers, who are wonderful teachers of LIFE to me.

So do some good and thank a teacher today. By the way, I was told by the school nurse that Wednesday was also Thank A Nurse Day, just a little FYI.
