23.

Rue is slightly blurry because she can't hold still for more than 2 seconds!

The last couple weeks have been crazy busy. I thought once I graduated things would slow down but in reality, they are just beginning, and in a way, speeding up. Two weeks ago I took my first professional development course. It was on teaching math concepts to promote deeper understanding and critical thinking and call me crazy but I loved it. And last week I took eighteen 12-17 year old girls to a girls camp for my church. Needless to say, I spent the majority of this last weekend sleeping. It was just what the doctor ordered!

Today I turned 23! I slept in and decided I deserved to relax in bed a little longer than usual until an axe murder entered my bedroom and gave me a hard attack!!! That axe murderer was my husband. HA DID NOT know he was home!! He scared me half to death! I thought he left for work at his usual time but he was actually out in the kitchen doing dishes and cooking me breakfast... a bouquet of roses and lilies and the most romantic card I have ever received in the middle of the table. That sweet man. So lucky he picked me! The day was rather rainy which bummed me out at first until I realized it was the perfect opportunity to wear rain boots which are basically my favorite! We had dinner at Wingers {which if you can't tell by now is one of our favorite places} and saw Monster's University. It was a cute movie but after seeing The Croods recently, it just didn't quite compare or measure up! A heartfelt thanks to the best friends and family I could ever dream of having for all of the messages, texts, and calls that I was showered with throughout the day!
