Well that last post was a bummer.

Things have been good lately though.

I helped out with VBS at our church a few weeks ago and LOVED it. Last year, I was the aide and helped the main teacher with crafts, this year I was shocked to discover at the VBS meeting that Alice (the woman in charge) made me the main teacher and assigned one of the Pastor's wives as being my aide! I was so nervous about being in charge because I am not a good leader, I am usually a follower. But I have to say, I was excellent! We had 1st graders, 2nd graders, and 3rd graders and I adored them all. For some reason second grade girls think I am amazing and I got constant hugs from them! And I loved seeing the 1st graders because I had just had some of them as Kindergarteners in my Sunday School class. SO CUTE, so well behaved. It was totally my influence that made them so awesome. :p

I was also nervous about having family over to see the house for the first time. I've never cooked for that many people before. But it was a huge success. I absolutely adore the family that comes with being Shane's wife. I seriously have the best in-laws ever. And the best part was that Shane's mom came up to me after dinner and told me all the food was really good... that compliment came from the QUEEN of all cooking! That comment coming from her made my summer.

Another thing that will help make the summer awesome... Shane and I will be going to California with some friends in a week! i am so excited!

    California, huh? Very nice! Have a great vacation! I'm glad you enjoyed your VBS students. Have you ever thought of getting a degree in elementary ed? You always seem to love VBS. Even kindergarten teaching would be fun. (half days...no grading...) I'm thinking about making the switch sometime. I am starting to love kids (as long as I can send them home at some point) haha.

  1. Actually what I'd really like to do is be a teacher's aide or assistant... and I really really want to do Kindergarten! I love being a Kindergarten Sunday School teacher. They are just the right age cuz they're not as retarded as the pre K group and not as rebellious as the older groups. lol.

    And I agree, it's fun spending time with kids when you can send em home. lol. I want to have kids someday but I'm scared cuz I know it will be at least 18 years before they go anywhere!
