School's OUT! & Currently

<breaks out air guitar & sings>

SCHOOL'S OUT FOR SUMMER!! Doesn't feel good to breathe that sigh of relief as you are walking out of the building and heading home? Rest & relaxation is finally here! Today was a bittersweet today, though - saying goodbye to kids & co-workers, yet looking forward to the challenges and opportunities coming in the fall. Our district holds a year end BBQ where they give out service awards and I was presented with my 5 year plaque today. It's always nice to get a pat on the back and an atta-boy!

Do you have any big plans for your summer? I have a few things going on - I will be working at my church for June & July helping them with our 4th & 5th grade kids camp. Even though it's a summer job, it is relaxing and fun to hang out with the kids from church. I'm hoping to get a couple weekend trips and back yard BBQ's in there somewhere. We shall see what happens!

Now that I'm done with school, I took this opportunity to get my May Currently done for Farley's linky party!

This summer will also consist of my wife & I working through the adoption process. We haven't been paired with anyone yet, but we're still only beginning the process and will be journaling about it in our adoption blog called Bringing Baby Bennett Home. Check it out if you have a moment!

Ok, it's time for me to get ready for church! I'll be blogging more often so check back for updates soon!

Currently: A Case of the Spring Crazies

Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed the kids at school have come down with a severe case of the spring crazies?! I'm not kidding my precious ones have been CRAY-ZEEE the last couple days. I think they are ready for some much needed time away from their teacher. I think the same goes for their teacher. ;) It seems life, in general, has been nuts too. I am sure most of you out there can relate. I can hear the "amens" resounding already. :)

Today, I am linking up to Farley's blog and posting my Currently for the month. These are always fun and provide a nice break from the daily grind. I promise my next post will be more substantial. I'm planning some future posts I hope you all will find beneficial and discussion-worthy. Anywhoo... if you haven't surfed over to Farley's blog and done your Currently, get a move on and do it! You know you want to! :)

Currently - Snow Day!!

Our district called our first snow day of the school year today. I, personally, was excited -- others, not so much. :) It just wouldn't be the same if we didn't have at least one snow day this year. We might get another one tomorrow as they are calling for another 3 or so inches of snow mixed with freezing rain (which I am NOT excited about). 

Anyhoo... I decided I'd post my first "Currently" post today, an idea I stole from Farley's blog. I decided to go with the snow template instead of hearts in honor of our first snow day. Enjoy!

You might be wondering about "OLW." It stands for one little word. I could explain it all here, but I'd miss out on the opportunity to link up to another fantastic blog. So visit Ali Edward's blog to learn about one little word. :)
