I love Etsy.com – Matte Stephens art

I LOVE Etsy (etsy.com). I love how there are a lot of designers and artists all in one place and I can buy something special for me or others so easily. Currently, my favorite etsy sell is Matt Stephens. I adore his Charlie Bird prints:

 In my bathroom, I have the Beehive Bubble Print and I adore it. Isn’t it pretty?

I don’t know Matte, just his Etsy shop. The address is: http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5063179

Items taken from outside my house

Someone came and took some items from outside of my house. The items of course aren’t a big deal, but it hurts to know that someone was so close to the inside of my home and wanted to take from me. I don’t feel safe like I  always have. I have been down and sad about it all day. :(

I’m thanful to God that my family is okay and nothing that was important to me was harmed. I am trying to have a joyous heart here, BUT SERIOUSLY I AM ANGRY.  Please pray for me that my anger and sadness goes away.

The items taken were: a mother and baby goose  and an iron dachshund foot scraper. The geese and dachshund were given to me by friends. They were very cute items, but not necessities.

Big News

I have some really big news to tell, but not yet. It’s said to be bad luck if you tell too soon. :)  All I can say is that I am very excited!

My class

Today my 8th grade class and I laughed so much. It’s great to see how much they have matured and grown over these past three years. I am going to miss them when they are done.

School – A Blessing

I rarely speak about my job because I don’t want anything to happen to me like it did to DOOCE. But I just wanted to say how nice it has been at work lately. The past two days have been awesome. The kids have been great. The weather is awesome.

 I am so looking forward to the summer still :)

The weekend was terrific

Lee and I had a great time this weekend. He bought me a television for my birthday and we went to pick it up today. He’s the sweetest man alive and I am so lucky to have him. Everyday with him is a gift from God.

My birthday – another year older & maybe wiser

In a half an hour I turn 37. When I was a young girl, I would be upset that I had to share my birthday with Mother’s Day…..but now I like it because I am not really a “birthday person.” I don’t like the attention that birthdays bring and would rather just have a peaceful normal day. 

 I’m a bit surprised that I feel so young at 37. When I was a kid, I used to think 37 was pretty old. So I hope that I am not only older, but also wiser. I feel like a certain type of peace has echoed through me these last few months and I am very grateful.

This week was a hard week for my friend who lost her daughter. I keep praying for her peace, but I know it will take time. I can’t imagine anything harder for anyone to go through. :(

Two trips in one week

I took my class on two trips this week. On Thursday, they had lunch at a Spanish restaurant and on today we went to Liberty Science Center. Most people who read this would probably wonder why I would take students to a Spanish restaurant. Most of my students are Asian and have never eaten Spanish food. It was a fun trip because they really enjoyed trying the food and practicing speaking Spanish to the waiters.

 Today’s trip was very cool too. My students loved the hands on science activities.  

 I have a class tomorrow morning because I wanted to learn how to use a sewing machine.

Haiti

Through Compassion International, I sponsored a child in Haiti.  There is so much strife in Haiti now and people are starving.  I was so happy to hear from Compassion International that her family and the Compassion group are safe.  Through the grace of God, they will stay safe.

Grant them peace

God, I just read about Baby Audrey Caroline and I can’t stop crying. If you have a few minutes, take a look Audrey’s pictures at Angie’s blog about her daughter. She looks like a baby angel.

I know Audrey Caroline is in heaven with you God, please give Angie the continued strength she needs in her marriage and inside herself to continue believing.
