It is my third week back to school. I have one new student, so now I have 8. She is a really sweet girl and seems to fit in with all the kids. We had two snow days last week, plus MLK Jr. day, and another possible snow day on Friday! Days off are always more fun when the snow is falling and there is no where to go - especially when I get to spend the whole day with my wonderful husband! I mean, don't get me wrong, snow days definitely put a wrench in my lesson plans, but quite honestly, I love them! We'll catch up, we always do, so why not enjoy the season! (However, I might think differently when I don't live in an apartment where people plow and shovel for you!)
This past weekend was Eric's 24th birthday. We are now the same age. I always tell him, I'm wiser and "wear the pants" because I'm a WHOLE 28 days older than him! ;) We had a fabulous time celebrating his life on Saturday with family and friends! I invited all of Eric's family over. It was the first time they were all over. My parents came, and two of Eric's best friends and their girlfriends. It was a great time! We played video games and ate really good food! We had a slumber party with Eric's sister, Liz, and her husband, Pete. Eric and Pete stayed up all night playing Madden. Eric was glad to have a play-date! On Sunday, we went to Eric's dad's where we had the best brunch ever: homemade cinnamon buns, fresh fruit, bacon, sausage, pancakes, french toast, and eggs benedict with crab cake. (My first time trying eggs bene, and mmm mmm mmm!) EVERTHING WAS DELICIOUS!!! Then we went over to my parents house for an unfortunate ending to a wonderful weekend... the company was great but the Pats game could have been better.
For Eric's birthday present, we put some money towards printing and framing some of his favorite photos. The apartment looks 1 million times better now that we have pictures on our walls! It's so nice to look around and see 1) the beauty of God's creation in the photos and 2) Eric's amazing photography talent! So if you want to see some amazing art, you should stop by and visit! We love company!
