Discoveries

I've been learning a lot lately.  

Some have been great discoveries!

Others have been a bummer to have to learn.  

But that is just how life is... both the YAY and the YUCK.

(thanks for that Curt, Alicia, & Lexie)

My iPod is gone, hopefully sold for money to buy food for a hungry family...

but that's just hopeful thinking.

All that to say, I no longer have a camera.

So I will have to use the pictures I already had taken and uploaded to share on here.  

This is a {short} glimpse into my recent discoveries...

If I walk to school in tennies I still arrive at the same time, 

and I can not pull off the sneakers & skirt look...

{I know I look a tad on the freaky side here, but I was really excited!}

I have wonderful friends who want to come alongside me in this adventure!  

Sarah created a calendar {w/ velcro!} for me and mailed it to me!!  We love it.

Aileen is a talented artist and she believes I am a "grate" teacher.

I have a much larger gap between my thighs than I was aware of 

and Aileen has faith in my running skills.

This might be too sad for the blog, but I've discovered that my friends are brilliant :)

Several friends wrote letters for different times during this year before I left.  

Jess wrote invitations.  This is my invitation to miss home.  I did :)  

Thanks for the encouragement Jess.  

You can Face Time & Skype at the same time!!  Who knew?  {take that iPod}

I can shop for new shoes at Target w/ Janna 

and ask MaryChar and Nate for their option at the same time!  

Crazy fun discovery!

My room is a hangout room for 2-4 little ones everyday after school.  

And I love it!  

We play music, they read & play with clay, and I get work done.  Win win win!

Miss Sonia is the best!  She is my aid {as of the first day of school} and she is wonderful.

We work as a team well and have fun too :)

What new things have you been discovering lately?
