Updates, updates, updates. Blessed, blessed, blessed.

It's been a while! What have I been doing with myself? Well it has seemed like a long winter, first of all, but there have been some great visits and fun activities as always. Here's a glimpse of what I've been up to recently...ps. a lot of selfies are coming your way!

Kathryn and Mark's family came to town on a sunny weekend in February. It was beautiful walking along the National Mall and so good to see my niece and nephews, of course. They are growing up!

We had another dance, hosted by Student government! Here are some of the SGA kids setting up for the dance and below is a picture of the dance itself...it doesn't look like much in the picture, but the decor turned out to be quite beautiful. I was relieved when that event  was over!

I ran into my old student teacher Jeff, who looks like more of a hippy than he did 2 years ago when he had come straight from Provo. A good guy! 

No, she is not flipping you off, but showing you her new ring bling! Sarah got engaged and I am going to be one of her bridesmaid. So happy for her, she has gone through a lot to get to this point! (I guess we all have once we've reached this age). 

Oh yes, and there was the day that we got evacuated from Wilson because of a chemical spill. Here is Aimee and I evacuating and heading to the nearby Middle School to wait for further instruction. 

And this is my coworker Patty. She and I share a classroom this school year. She is wonderful!

I saw my old roommate, Heidi and her husband and met her cute baby! We got together and ate some incredible pizza and laughed and visited. I have some amazing friends!

St. Patrick's Day dinner celebration with the old crew back together. I can't express it enough but I love these ladies! Note the green sparkling cider. They sure know how to decorate!

Students in my room the day that grades are due--on a Friday at lunch. Oh boy, has it been stressful wrapping up the 3rd quarter. Can't believe I only have one more quarter to go until the end of the school year!

Happy Holi! Hare Krishna festival of colors. It was quite the experience to throw colors on whoever and dance to some fantastic Indian music. I would do it again in a heart beat!

A beautiful sunset along the Potomac before the Cherry Blossom fireworks.

Girls night with Teresa and Kathryn! These women are so silly and so wonderful.

As I peruse through all of these pictures I feel so blessed for all of my opportunities and friendships! Life continues to rock.
