It's Spring - Daybook

In reading one of my favorite blogs, Danielle Bean, I have come to love a little thing called Daybook. This is supposed to be a weekly reflection on life and a way to get going for the week.

Outside my window … The day looks beautiful, but being Monday I am in my classroom that actually has NO windows. Some day I may ask for a skylight, but I am pretty sure that day will never come.
I am thinking … about how good it feels to almost be done with Grad school. In a month I will be done and then it will just be waiting for graduation. So exciting!
I am thankful for my friends! My SAGA group (subject alike, grade alike) that I work with every weekend of class are an amazing group of people. They have pushed me and I them and in turn we have become great friends and are looking forward to pushing each other through the rest of the credits to be MA+60 at some point in the next 2-3 years.
I am reading … about the healthcare reform bill... this is something that matches great government bills and laws of the past however on a personal note there are parts that make me nervous!
I am hoping … to find the tricycle for Bel! She loves being outside and playing, but needs a bike to fit her! She test rode a couple this weekend and we are hoping to find one that's just right for her!
On my mind Swim lessons tonight!
We’re learning … or relearning about our faith. The husband has taken on the reading and we are talking almost nightly about things we have forgotten and those we are learning for the first time. Its been a nice thing to share and has given him ideas of books for Bel.
Noticing that … the school year is quickly coming to an end and my seniors have the itch... each year I swear the senior slide hits earlier and earlier!
Pondering these words Mrs. S will you do my work for me? Really people... really!
A few plans for the week work, swimming, and I hope lots of outside time!
From the kitchen whatever the husband cooks.
Around the house spring! Humidifiers are put away, doors are opened and sun is streaming in!
One of my favorite things … watching the husband and child play in the backyard.

My First Daybook...

In reading one of my favorite blogs, Danielle Bean, I have come to love a little thing called Daybook. This is supposed to be a weekly reflection on life and a way to get going for the week. So here goes nothing!

Outside my window … The snow is finally melting away, I love when the snow is clean and white but there comes a point in our frozen winters that the sand and salt have changed it to a very dirty snow, one that I have to remind Bel not to eat.
I am thinking … about how quickly time goes by. With seasons about to change it amazes me that the world goes by so fast and I have to be so careful not miss a thing.
I am thankful for … my amazing husband and my beautiful little girl, I have been blessed!
I am reading … The Late Homecoming, which is taking me forever as I am trying to fit it in during the rest of my life.
I am hoping … to finish the rest of the items needed for my masters presentation. Once I feel like its done there is always something to change.
On my mind … bedtime.
We’re learning … that teaching your child about God and his love is key to the words I am pondering.
Noticing that … since our last dr. appointment I am feeling better about not being able to sustain a pregnancy. Our dr. has given me more hope that with the right meds things may work out the way we want, its all in God's plan.
Pondering these words … a guest priest shared a couple of weeks ago. We may know God in our heads, but how well do you know him in your deepest being?
A few plans for the week … work, swimming lessons, Diana's show, Grayson's birthday party and Church.
From the kitchen … We had leftovers, the best kind, Buca!
Around the house … everything is clean, except the kitchen floor... no good!
One of my favorite things … is reading to Bel our three favorite books: Guess How Much I Love you, God Gave Us You, and How Big is God.
A picture I am sharing … many... too many not to share!
