- that Rob and I had a nice, quiet Easter in KC. It's very strange to not be with family on a holiday, but we made the most of it and savored one of our last calm weekends as a twosome. Thankfully Mary provided a delicious Easter dinner last weekend in Glenwood so we didn't feel too guilty eating cheeseburgers on Sunday. :)
- for our church's musical performances. We saw the choir perform at Christmas (for a split second ... that's another story though) and they were just as delightful on Easter. I really appreciate a good singing voice since mine's so terrible. Fun fact - Rob can sing Elvis, Taylor Swift, Josh Turner, Aretha Franklin and everything in between. I'm never disappointed on our car trips! Except that he can't listen to a song the entire way through. Ha!
- that I can share the story of the Resurrection with my students. While it is a culture day about Semana Santa, I go a little extra in depth with the background info!
- that I don't have to share my classroom next year.
- for this baby who doesn't let me forget for a second that he's in there!
- that Rob and I are getting closer on names. Now we just have to decide how contemporary or traditional to go.
- for our trip to Ankeny this weekend. On the schedule: apartment tour, chiropractor dinner in DSM, meeting with my future coworkers (round two), and celebrating some April birthdays!
- that I finally get to let my students watch a movie. Two whole class periods even! I hope they're happy campers.
- that I'm going to give less homework next year.
- for a surprise Rob said is waiting for me at home. He always hints that there's a puppy waiting for me, but it's usually a snack of some sort. AKA the kind of treat that I would prefer. :)
- for this: Rhea Lana. A coworker shared it with me and I'm not sure if I'm going or what to expect, but I'm thankful to be in the club now. You know, the secret club of moms (and grandmas) who know these kinds of things and always share info with each other? Yep, I'm officially in. I even know about Amazon Mom!
- that I'm finally to the Spain chapter in Spanish 2. Bonus: it's food vocab - yippee!
- that I don't teach metals. I had to cover for the shop teacher a couple days ago and it was immediately apparent that I was way out of my element. While the students were all shockingly quiet and respecful, I was silently terrified of them ... and everything in that area of the school. Coming back to my own bubble-gum and butterflies classroom made me realize how many students probably hate how cheerful that environment is.
