Fooooore, not.

Golf: n.

A game played on a large outdoor course with a series of 9 or 18 holes spaced far apart, the object being to propel a small, hard ball with the use of various clubs into each hole with as few strokes as possible, all the while trying not to die.

Ok, this video is loud, shaky, and therefore amazing.

Dreams do come true

I once heard, if you write goals down there is a greater chance they will come true, than if you just think about them (paraphrasing). Interestingly enough a few days after my life goals post I will be accomplishing one of them.

Last night, Seth said, "I am about to show you something, don't get too excited." What I saw was a ridiculous price for round trip flights to Hawaii. We partook of the amazing deal and are officially going to Hawaii in October. Hawaii!!!!!!!!

Moral of the story, write your goals down.

Life Goals

I am here at home, alone, feeling sorry for myself, so I decided to make a list of all the things I want to do before I die.

Buy a house

Have babies

Have a dog

Go to Hawaii

Go to an Oprah Show

Learn to sew

Go to The Price is Right

Have my own car

Go to Australia

I found a dollar on my walk home from Walmart!

I think it is from mother nature, rewarding me for being green with my walking feet and canvas bag.

June 5th

June 5th. First year teaching done. Been looking forward to this date all year. Now it's over.

As soon as we returned to the classroom after the dance festival the tears started falling. As I hugged each child goodbye I couldn't even speak. My heart was breaking 25 times. The parents were crying, even the children were balling. Tyson clung to me until the last minute, his weeping face scrunched up in sadness.

This is what happens. You teach, you love, you are disrespected, you are yelled at, you are exhausted, you are driven crazy, but at the end of the year...you weep. Every year will be the same. Even the kids who drove me to the brink of insanity will be missed. They will not be my kids next year, they will not idolize me as they do now. But, come this fall, I will have 25 new little ones who will drive me crazy and who I will love with my whole heart. I never knew my heart could expand around so many different individuals.

I sit here on June 5th and hope, and pray, I made a difference and they will know, no matter what, that Mrs. Atkisson loved them.
