First Five for Friday in a long while...

...life has gotten CRAZY (or "cray-cray" as one of my students insists on saying all day long) but after a VERY LONG teacher appreciation week, it's only fit that I write a few things down about my week as well as catch you all (haha, I only have 6 followers!) up on what is going on in my life!

So here it goes...a very quick..

1. It was teacher appreciation week! I hope all the teachers felt as loved and spoiled as I felt this week. We were BEYOND spoiled - we received a t-shirt and breakfast on Monday, a lunch on Tuesday, a goodie bag on Wednesday, were taken out to lunch on Thursday (yes, two hours away from school eating a meal with table clothes and chairs that weren't connected to the table!) and received chair massages today. My favorite is definitely the last one...how can I fit it in my budget to get a massage every week?

2. Save the date! I have been away from my blogs for a while now because all things wedding have BLOWN up! We had engagement pictures, my mom flew down and I went dress shopping (and yes...I said yes to the dress!) and I most recently designed our save the dates. This week they finally came! I will blog more about that over on my personal blog - but let me tell you, I love them! They came yesterday and I whipped out 60...today I did 17 more...and there is only 23 to go...WOOOO ME!

3. There are only nineteen days left of school...including a half day...fun day...and two EOG days...is anyone else thinking less "WOO HOOO" and more "Holy crap!?"

4. Last weekend was my love's birthday and I spoiled him rotten! I surprised him (blindfold and all) and took him zip lining! It was so much fun - we both can't wait to go back!

5. In college I mentored in a program called DREAM - it's pretty amazing. Today I wore my DREAM shirt in support of the program and told my students about it - it was an interesting conversation telling them about what DREAM is, especially when so many of them could benefit from DREAM - made me miss my college years!

Alright, we have friends visiting tomorrow and I need to pick up a bit! Hopefully my jam packed May won't keep me away the way April managed to!
