9. One of my student's solved a problem on his own... using my words! It was so cute.
8. Same student informed me it was time to change another student's color... he's a clever one. He was just happy it wasn't him needing to change his color!
7. Longhorn basketball! We beat Illinois last night, but lost to Pitt tonight. The team is young, but they're playing their hearts out... maybe our football team can take notes?
6. Speaking of football, D and I are going to see them play FAU tomorrow. One of my student's parents gave us tickets for my birthday.
5. I got bacon for my birthday... haha. That's gonna need an explanation, isn't it? Every Friday, my students and I have a conversation about the things you get to do on Saturday that you don't on school days... basically, sleep in, watch cartoons, and eat a big breakfast. I always joke with them and tell them that if they have bacon for breakfast Saturday morning, they are to call me and invite me over. So today one of my students walks in with his gift for me- and it's a package of bacon! It took me a few minutes to figure it out, but once I did, I laughed so hard.
4. My class blessed me with lots of good gift cards, balloons, flowers, etc. They really made me feel special.
3. One of my parents brought me lunch from Chick fil-a. Yum!
2. My close friends at work are throwing me a gift card foster/adopt shower. I got the evite yesterday and immediately felt so loved. The rsvps contained some of the sweetest comments. I'm really grateful for the family-like environment of my school.
1. We submitted our home study for a child who is available for adoption. Ahh! We're not getting our hopes up at all because families all over the state will be submitting theirs as well, but the one thing we have working for us is that the office released the details of the child yesterday and home studies were due today. I say all that, and then have to remind myself that we are totally trusting God on this. As we were sitting by the computer last night, looking at the child's picture and trying to figure out what to do, D finally said, "Les, if this is the child God has for us, then we'll get it. If not, we won't. Let's just submit it." Okay!
Oh yeah- and Thanksgiving break starts Monday! Happy Thanksgiving!
What a great week and D is right - if its the child God has picked for you, then everything will work out :). We said yes immediately to R and D even though we were initially told they were Foster Care only.
ReplyDeletelol I'd love to hear the conversation in that kid's home over the weekend. "Mom, I need to get bacon for Mrs. Les." "Why son?" "So she can have breakfast on Saturday."
