urg! well, it finally got to me. I'm officially sick. And feel like complete crapola! My throat hurts...Anyone want to come over and give me a back massage?
I've had a lot on my mind the last couple of days.
~When Max and I finally start having little kiddos of our own the idea of not knowing the sex has seemed pretty awesome to me. I'm loving this gender neutral room,
~Date place for tonight,
~Could you imagine doing this? It take some major balls... maybe fun idea for graduation, hmmm? I need to find a photographer for that.
~CUTE dress. Sexy and chic.
~ I'm itching for my annual trip to here.
A lot of changes are coming up shortly for me. Is it weird that I feel them lurking, waiting to be unleashed at just right moment?
Max is student teaching right now and gets to spend all day teaching P.E. to some cute kiddos. I felt a little bad for him yesterday. It was his turn to run warm-ups for the first time. Except 5 of those stinkin' fifth graders would just not listen to him! How rude! Don't they know that he's the nicest, most awesome, loving, wonderful man in the whole world?! So anyway, it was time for them to run a warm up lap and those 5 kiddos decided they weren't going to and then their real teacher had to chime in and forced them along with the other kids in the class to run another lap. Max was so cute about it too. He was like, "You know babe, that's a great principle. If the kids choose not to do something once, we won't move on to the next step until they finish the first step. It's like everything else-- you can't decide you want to learn how to divide, but then just decide to skip multiplication before." He's so cute and logical.
And last night was so great. I've recently gotten into watching documentaries on Netflix (nerdy, i know!) and came across this one called Pressure Cooker. If you don't know me that well, i adore cooking! Like I'm obsessed with reading cookbooks, watching Food Network, and experimenting with new recipes (and figuring out how to make them gluten free!). SO ANNNNNNNNYWAY, I turned on this doc and it was so inspirational. It was set in inner city Philadelphia and a high school culinary teacher devoted so much of herself to helping her students succeed in college. And she was one tough broad!! She would not hesitate to call out each student and she often yelled at them when they did something wrong. But, what I loved so much was her faith in these kids that would have no other option for college or that much of a future without her. She went out of her way to help the girls pick out dresses for Prom, baked and sold cookies before and after school to help the cost of application fees (some culinary school application fees were $200!), spend her Spring Break with these kids helping them to prepare for mulitple cooking contests that gave away scholarship money, went to their football games, and cheer matches. She went above and beyond any teacher I've ever seen. Max and I just sat and cried at the end when she prayed with her kids and asked the Lord to provide a future for these kids. And He did!!! Many kids received full ride scholarships to Culinary Schools. SO touching!!!
Here, watch for yourself!
