Spring Break 2013

My first spring break as a teacher has been more than exciting! I have looked forward to SB since Christmas break :) Let's just say...I had big plans! 

Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday were spent shopping, grading, planning, and packing for a little weekend trip to Hot Springs.  Wednesday night B talked me into going to this Mexican restaurant that I typically refuse to eat at.  I gave in...it wasn't too bad.  

Around 5:00 Thursday morning with CrAzY stomach pain...around 5:30, the real fun came.  I spent most of the morning with my head in the toilet or a trash can.  Thursday and most of Friday were spent in bed.  On a positive note, I lost 3 pounds...sometimes you have to make sacrifices (totally kidding)!  At first, I thought I had food poisoning.  After Brad spent many hours researching my illness (or typing it into Google on his phone), we decided I probably had the Stomach flu.  I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. 

So....our Hot Springs trip was canceled.  We were super disappointed! Today, I had the joy of unpacking our bags from a trip we didn't go on.  Unpacking is always BAD, but it's REALLY BAD when you didn't even get to go!  Thankfully, I am on the mend.  I plan to get a lot more rest this weekend to be ready for some wild 5th graders on Monday.  

I can't say this is my favorite SB ever, but I did have some pretty cool people to take care of me and a cute dog who slept beside me the whole time.  

Happy Saturday!

She said YES to the dress!

I am so thankful to be home resting this morning.  I have spent the last 3 days in Springfield, Thursday and Friday were spent at a Kagan Cooperative Learning Conference! I learned so much and can't wait to use it in my classroom.  After my conference on Friday, I picked up some pretty cool kids to bring home for the weekend.  

Saturday morning, we left for Springfield at 8:00 to do some dress shopping for my sister.  Katelyn is getting married in August.  Our first stop was Norman's! She tried on so many beautiful dresses! 

Then, we headed off to lunch at a Mexican place.  My stomach is turning thinking about it! Kate and I both took 1 bite out of our food!! It was no good! Thank goodness for McDonald's drive thru!  Our next stop was David's Bridal....more very pretty dresses! 

We ended up going back to Norman's for the PERFECT dress...of course, I didn't post a picture of it! It was a great day of shopping with some of my favorite people!
