Sometimes you need it.

Sometimes you need to go into work on a day when you don't. Because if you're like me, you end up being blessed.

I was fortunate enough to sub enough last year that I still have a relationship with some of the kids from last year, some of whom are now 2nd graders and 4th graders. They're some of my favorite kids!
People don't often realize when they say 'how are you enjoying married life,' that i don't necessarily have a positive answer. When you take my life for the past two years and examine it, all you will find is major change after major change. Marriage is yet another major change, and it's a little overwhelming at times, and I've kinda found myself in a slump.

And then I get tackle hugged in the parking lot by two precious girls who've been arguing since they saw me in the parking lot about who I'm subbing for today. I get hugged in the hallway by a kid I barely know. I hear "MISS WHITNEY'S HERE YAY!!!" when I get to the classroom. One kid, who probably needs love more than anything in this world, walks up and says he's glad to see me.

Yes, I needed a day like today.

Newlywed life

I know, I know, I know, i completely stink at blogging. Things have been busy.

I got married on Saturday, had a quick honeymoon Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, and now we're back in one piece and doing life. Well. Sort of. We're staying at my Aunt's river house while we get ourselves together/work on me getting a job (which is harder than i could ever describe, honestly).
I'll try to post more on newlywed observations, things your bride wants you to know, etc, but now I'm going to do some laundry and put some applications in and get ready for Wednesday night class at church.
