Last Day of School/Hair

Yesterday was the last day of school! Woo hoo!! My summer has started. It was such a weird feeling to be cleaning out my room. I remember walking into it for the first time and thinking how much work I had ahead of me to set it up and then to teach in it all year. Now I have made it to the end of the year and that is all behind me. I am grateful I had the chance to teach there. I enjoyed it so much and I learned so much. I loved the faculty I worked with and especially the other 6th grade teachers I worked so closely with. They helped me so much and are amazing women. I was sad to see my students leave. We have spent a whole year together and I loved being able to teach them and also learn from them. I have posted these pictures before but I thought I would reminisce. These are from the beginning of the year so my room is still kind of bare!

We have decided that when we get to Kansas I won't be teaching this next year so that I can be able to be home with Cade. I am so excited to be able to play mommy now! (and no more pumping at lunch!!!) Our summer plans include going to Texas, a family reunion in San Diego and the big move to Kansas!

After much deliberating I decided to go with the "mom haircut". It took me two different hair cuts to get it this length because I chickened out the first time. In all I took about 8 inches off- 4 the first time and then 4 again. Since having Cade my hair has been falling out like crazy so it has been so much easier to deal with short plus it is a great summer cut! It is taking some getting used to but I really like the change!

Did you ever run your hand through your hair and then feel surprised because your hair ended? I did that all the time our senior year at the Y when I cut mine to my ears! It looks great on you! I can't believe the year is over already. I bet your kids will miss you!

Hey Jenna,
How's summer going? I decided to drop in and say hi. Your little guy is so cute and I love your hair. :) I just wanted to wish you a great future. I am really happy you have the opportunity to stay hom with Cade. It's the toughest but greatest job. Good luck and e-mail me sometime. I'd love to hear from you.

love the hair cut! Isn't it so much easier to have it short! I cut mine in April and I haven't regretted it for one second!
