An Award!


Is this really summer "vacation"?  I don't know about you but I haven't had a moments rest yet! :)  I am writing a quick post to say that I will probably be absent from blogland for the next 2 weeks.  My father-in-law, brother-in-law and step-mother-in-law are arriving tomorrow for an 8 day stay.  The day after they leave, my mother-in-law arrives for a vacation.  Needless to say, I am going to be busy!!  Before I take a pause in blogging I want to thank the TWO people who gifted me with the Versatile Blogger Award!

Thank you to Darlene at:
Third Grade Love
And Kaitlyn at:

The rules for this award are as follows:
1. Thank the blogger who nominated you
2. Include a link to their site
3. Include the award image in your post
4. Give 7 random facts about yourself
5. Nominate 15 other bloggers for the award
6. When nominating, include a link to their site
7. Let other bloggers know they've been nominated

I am going to break the rules a bit- please don't take the award away!  I know that this award has been going around and a lot of my blogging friends already have the award but many of you still don't- so please take this as my gifting of the award to you! I enjoy reading everyone's blogs, I must because I spend a lot of time reading what ya'll have to say!  I am continually impressed with the creativity and passion for teaching that I see on your blogs and you inspire me to be a better teacher!

My random facts:
1.  I am left handed
2. My original degree was in English and Spanish Literature
3. I've worked in orphanages in Costa Rica and Peru
4. I sit wrapped in a blanket at home during all seasons
5. I met my husband while working in a bookstore
6. Disney World is one of my favorite places and I hope to go again soon
7. I like to read books in one day.

Okay!  See you soon :)

Here are my top 3 (I tried really hard to find blogs that didn't have this award yet- and I couldn't find many! If you don't have this award- let me know and I'll add you to my list! You're all my "top 10")
Third Grade Treasures
Miss Third Grade

A quick picture *as promised* of dress like your favorite character day.  On the left is Snow White, I am the Giving Tree in the middle, and on the right is Miss Frizzle!




In unrelated news- my husband was accepted into a graduate program! This weekend we have been busy celebrating and spending time together! It will be hard for me to have him go from being at home all the time to being busy at school so I am going to take advantage of the time we have together now before his program starts!

Enjoy your Sunday!
