Well today is a big day in my family! It is the first day of school. My entire life, this day of every year has been huge! Well, for me this year is different. It is the first time since I was 6 years old that I will not be going back to school....weird huh? I will say that I had been fine and that it had not hit me until yesterday morning at church. Our pastor asked all teachers to stand so that we could pray for them and this coming school year....well if you know me, you know that my parents are teachers, my bro and sis in law are teachers, and my husband is a teacher. Therefore, the entire row of people I was sitting with stood...except for me. THAT Was Weird! But good in the same way! I did feel a little relieved. Anyway! A year ago a great friend of mine was going through the same thing I am today and she blogged about it on her blog. I'll put the link b/c she summed it up perfectly! (The only difference I think is that Matthew really does have his dream job...I'm sure some days he would not admit it but...we all know there is nothing better for him to be doing!)

So to all of my family and friends: I pray that you have a great year this year and that you know you are impacting the life of every child you teach! Remember that teaching is the best job in the world....ASIDE FROM BEING A MOMMY! Have a great first day of school!
