spring

Spring is near. Did you remember to turn your clocks ahead an hour? I love this time of year. I love to watch the flowers bloom and the beautiful green hills. San Diego hasn't had much rain this year, but if you look around you can see God's amazing creation. Here is a picture of a bouquet I bought for our Easter brunch and another bouquet I bought myself at the store last week. I love Gerber Daisies! This picture reminded me of my wedding, so I posted a picture of my beautiful bouquet of Roses and Gerber Daisies.

P.S. I added a couple of new pictures on some old posts (no worries and busy). Check them out!

sick...again

Now I have the flu. I have aches and pains and a fever along with another symptom of which I won't share. I called the doctor to see if there was any relation to the sigmoidoscopy that I had on Thursday. She said that it sounded like the flu and it just so happened to hit my system after the procedure.

My time is up working with my 1st graders. The teacher returns on Monday for a transition day. I will also be there on Tuesday for report cards. I pray that my health will be renewed, so that I will have the energy to teach and complete report cards. Spring Break is coming up and I am really excited, because I'll be able to relax...yah right! I won't be around young children who expose you to so many illnesses. I will miss them as I hope they'll miss me, but I am glad to move on and have 2 weeks to catch up on life.

Sorry Rachel, but I won't be able to make the birthday party as I don't want to get everyone sick. Tommy will hopefully be there. Tell everyone I said hello!

busy

This week has been very busy. I had open house and an appointment every night...next week report cards are due. This weekend I have management training for 3 days!!! When will it all end? Here are a few new pics of my cute nephew and my classroom.

no worries

Do Not Worry
22Then Jesus said to his disciples: "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. 23Life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. 24Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds! 25Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? 26Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?

27Consider how the lilies grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 28If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith! 29And do not set your heart on what you will eat or drink; do not worry about it. 30For the pagan world runs after all such things, and your Father knows that you need them. 31But seek His kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well.

32Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom. 33Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven that will not be exhausted, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. 34For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Luke 12:22-34

Sacramento

My mom and I went to Sacramento this weekend to visit my cousin Brian, brother Sean, his girlfriend Sommer, and my new nephew Francis who is 6 weeks old. We had such a wonderful time. The weather was beautiful and we survived our 1 hour 5 min. direct flight. My brother lives in Elk Grove, which is about 1/2 hour south of the Sacramento airport. It is a very nice city. They have many shopping centers that have been built recently that include Kohl's, restaurants, and other stores. On Sunday, we took a nice drive to Stockton to the nearest Babies R Us. Here are a few of my favorite pics.

Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day! I went to Sacramento for the weekend to see my nephew. When I got home I found a new kitchen faucet and shower head. :)

healthy

I am finally up to par! I feel healthy and relieved that I am not sick anymore. I am also excited about my day off tomorrow! Today Tommy and I went to church. After church I went hiking up Cowles Mtn. with my friend Kristen. It was really hot, but a good workout. I brought Submarina home for lunch and relaxed after taking a shower. Next weekend I am going to Sacramento with my mom to see my nephew. I can't wait!
