The best reason to have a blog

I have spent the last 2 hours pouring over my blog posts from the past 3 years. I can say that my blog was pretty boring in the beginning...no pics? Come on now. What I really love is that I now have so much journaling for my scrapbooking for when I get around to it. I was reading and didn't remember half of the things we did and most of the silly things Jenna said. I also think it's so funny that I stressed out about Jenna going into Sunbeams at church, and now she's 6 1/2! So weird. She's grown so much in that time. Her face has gone from a round toddler-ish look to full-on child. I've also noticed how much I've grown. Lots of trials and lots of happy days. Some deep thoughts and some pretty goofy stuff. I could add at least 5 things to my list of 150 that I was tagged to do 2 years ago.

Work has been so much fun. I love the team I work with and the faculty is so great! They are so supportive and have done so much for me. They are willing to share with me and I have grown so much as a teacher because of them. I'm in a totally different environment going from a very low-income Title 1 school to a school where parents take their 7 year-old to New York for a week to go shopping and to see a couple Broadway shows (I swear I really thought these were just exaggerations until now).

It's late/early and I've had a long, emotional day so I'm going to sign off without adding any pics (sorry). But first....answer me this - why do you or don't you blog?

oh...and I saw the sunrise today and I wondered what in the world I was doing up before the sun...so not cool. I was ticked that I was up so early.
