10 Minute Update

Well HEEELLLLOOOOO!!!! (Said like Mrs. Doubtfire)

Once again, it has been a while! I am surrounded by 22 HUGE state reports that need grading, a stack of papers to file and a classroom floor that really needs to be vaccuumed...but here I sit. For 10 minutes. I promise that is all...

HOUSE!!! The much anticipated date of April 15th is tomorrow! That was supposed to be our close date. Well, as this usually goes, it is not happening! We will be closing ONE week from today. Almost exactly at this time! It's all good considering our moving team will be coming bright and early on Good Friday...the day after we close! I am SO SCARED of the closing. I just get this butterfly/about to get on a roller coaster/ucky feeling in my stomach. This is just a really big deal and I am a scardy cat...so put it all together and there you have it. ME...Scared!
We have prayed about this for so long and the doors just keep opening and all seems to be well...I guess I am just waiting for the other shoe to fall. I know I shouldn't. I really should just give it to the Lord and know that He will take care of us! So, that is what I do...pretty regularly actually!

My sweet sweet Millie girl turned 9 months old yesterday! My heart is just so full of love for her! I adore so much about her. She is LOVING bananas...the real, actual banana! I think back to when she was just a tiny little baby and I remember thinking it would be FOREVER before I had to worry about her eating real food. WRONG! It's here! She loves graham crackers too! She LOVES standing up and even shakes her little booty to whatever music plays from her toys. She shakes her head no and waves all the time. We are SO close to getting her to clap too! I like to claim she is a genius! I just think she is so smart! We took her to get her 9 month pictures this past Saturday. We took some with live bunnies! At first she was quite cautious but by the end of it, she was grabbing their ears and trying to put them in her mouth! Poor bunnies! It was quite fun and the pictures turned out great! We are starting to see her temper from time to time. I'm not gonna lie...she has one for sure! She HATES laying on her changing table to be changed so we have to distract immediately. If we are one second slow, she gets angry. I love her personality, even during the firey times too. She still has the most beautiful blue eyes that just take you in! Awww...I could go on for days! I cannot wait to get in our house for the simple fact of being able to take her outside and let her explore the grass and swing in her very own swing one day!

School/Work is going well. This is the first year that I am not COUNTING DOWN THE DAYS for summer to get here. I don't know what the deal is. I feel kind of guilty for it too. I know I will get a whole summer of mommy and Millie time, so I should be SO READY. I am ready, and I will love the summer for sure, but I will miss this class! I will miss these kids so much...wanna know a secret....I cried about it yesterday. No, not a snotty, sloppy cry, but I definately teared up. This is the smartest class I have ever had and I adore them. Ahhh...bummer!

Of course there are SEVERAL things that I want to scream about on here, but I will save that for another day! :) Like when I become private and make sure that certain people are not reading this. I don't think they do, but you never know!

Okay....times up!

Off to get my girl!

Until next time,
Sam
