Sweet Sunday

This week was a beautiful and crazy week.  D and I enjoyed a beautiful hike as we said good-bye to summer, and then I was off to work.  My work week was cut short due to the blackout, woo hoo!  Even though I only worked 3 days this week, I was left exhausted and ended up with a cold this weekend.  It's harder to think back on this week and decide what were successes for me because there was so much to this week.  Instead here are the things that brought me happiness:

Happiness is....

1. Scrumptious homemade brownies from one of my new students!

2. Brightening up our little home with some fresh daisies from the farmer's market.

3. Taking blurry pictures with my love!

4. The husband having Saturday off!!!  (Woot woot!)  Spent the entire day together, including him making me lie down and rest :)

5. Buying fresh, organic vegetables at the farmers market and cooking with them that night.

Seriously, these tomatoes tasted like candy!

6. Having an amazing dad and step-dad that have both served our country.  It is sad to look back on what happened to our nation 10 years ago, but encouraging to see how far we have come together as Americans.  I will forever be grateful for all military members and everything they do to protect us.

7. Realizing that somedays are hard and tough, but what matters most is remembering that you make an impact on a child.  This week was a tad bit difficult as I realized everything that you have to teach kindergarteners at the beginning of the year.  You work so hard to get them right where you want them, and then they move on to the next grade.  I saw this on Pinterest and it encouraged me to remember that there are struggles in teaching, but I have a direct impact on all of my students' and love them dearly.  

What has made you happy this week???
