I have been loving the retirement!
I never thought I could be so happy not being a teacher!!!
I'm busier than ever, but without having to teach school,
make lesson plans, grade papers, and enter scores in the computer,
I seem to have more time to do what I want.
My life had always been busy, and I would feel that
at least when I went to school, I would be at the same place for a few hours.
Anyway, there are only a few times I've missed teaching.
The excitement of the first day.
Clear Creek.
Clear Creek.
Halloween.
Christmastime.
Valentine's Day.
I loved our Valentine's celebration so much!
Making and decorating the folders, doing "Broken Hearts" in math, where we matched each side of a heart to make equivalent fractions.
And of course, the Valentine Party!

Valentine Bingo, the "Candy Bar Game", popping in on the 6th grade dance, passing out Valentines.
Some years, I would get quite the haul . . . like last year:
This year, I found cute little stuffed animals at
Dollar Tree.
$.50 each!
Yup, I could afford 13 of them.
I went over the day before to give them to the kids.
I also asked on Facebook to have parents send me pictures
from the 6th grade dance.
Not too successful.
I got a couple, but, Hannah Smith's mom posted a TON!
I found a lot of the kids in them.

She was so great to talk to...an old soul.

That night, I went to Heidi Shurtz's wedding in Orem.
Her mom, Colleen, is Karen's sister.
Karen was my favorite roommate in college...Dixie.
I was the "yellow" bridesmaid in the famous rainbow wedding!
