Mr. Darcy!

Why is it, when you have had a busy week and you have done much to make the world a better place and you are so tired you have your jammies on at 8:30 and you are over 8 years old, you want to watch Mr. Darcy?

I can't wait to turn on my dvd, crawl up on my couch, put on my "snuggie" (pink of course) and watch the amazing Collin Firth play every girls dream, Mr. Darcy...but I so love the other Mr. Darcy too. That's why they both get a spot on my blog tonight!

ahhh, Mr. Darcy.........sigh!

Soaring Woman!

So I have a friend who is far too young to be battling breast cancer, but she is.

So I found an award I wanted to nominate her for...but the contest was over...

So I want to post my short essay on her in my corner of the world...

I love you, Karen!


Karen is a woman worthy of your consideration for the Women That Soar Award. Karen is an amazing soul, a devoted teacher, wonderful wife and loving mother. She has dedicated her life to making others around her soar, and now it is her turn. She always has a smile on her face and brings out the best in those around her. She continues to do this amazing feat even while in the midst of battling breast cancer. At her young age, she is attacking her cancer with the same passion she mothers her 3 year old daughter, loves her Police officer husband and reaches her at-risk elementary students with daily. When you say you are looking for someone who "has made significant impact on guiding and empowering our youth" you are describing my dear friend, the superb, Karen!

P.S.

I just thought of something else that happened since the last blog!

I TURNED 40 YEARS OLD!!!


Woo Hoo...

I'm back...

So it's been awhile since my last post. I swore I would not be that person who starts a blog and then only posts every couple months...be careful what you say.

So since my last post, school has begun.

I am still a 4th grade teacher. Darbs is still in middle school.

Our life consists of volleyball, watching "Monk" on T.V., Cheering on the amazing Texas Rangers, taking naps when I can and trying to inspire people.

God gives you a gift everyday...just look for it!

Let me know what yours was today...

Blessings!
