Schools out for the Summer!

Well I survived another year. In some ways this year seemed long but I can't believe it's over! This last week of school was pretty fun. Dustin always teases me that I don't work the last 2 weeks of school. The last week (one week) is a lot of cleaning, wrapping up and playing. We had water day yesterday. The kids take their desks and chairs outside and we scrub them down with soapy sponges then spray them down. Then in the afternoon we do rotations with water. The kids don't get really wet, maybe a few sprinkles here and there. I had about 5 kids that walked in Thursday morning and we almost in tears because 'Teacher, we forgot our swimsuits'. If only you could have seen the concern on their faces. It took me telling them a few times that they didn't need their swimsuit before they would calm down. I was in charge of the water balloon toss. It was a lot of fun. And I might have tossed a few right next to their feet. One of the little boys chased me and popped on on me though. Good times! The last day is always a little bitter sweet. The kids are so cute. A bunch of them made me cards. My favorite one said "Thanks for being a great teacher for first grade. You teached me a lot." (Guess they missed some grammar lessons :) Two of my girls made me a giant (like 12 papers taped together) poster of the three of us. I am very excited for summer though... sleeping in, staying up late, spending time with Dustin, playing with friends and family, camping, jet skiing, BBQ's... I could go on and on.

HAVE AN AMAZING SUMMER!

My Absolutely Incredible Husband!!!

I just have to take a minute to brag about my hubby. Dustin never ceases to amaze me. I seriously don't think that there is anything he can't do. When people ask me what he does I think it would be faster to tell them what he doesn't do because he really does it all. He has started a successful business from the ground (or our little first ghetto apartment), he is now expanding Monster Sak to sell furniture (really, really nice furniture for way less than R.C. Willey), he's a real estate agent, a loan officer, a property manager and I could go on all day. One of his recent goals was to get a book published. When he told me that's what he wanted to do I couldn't believe it. I mean really, who does that. Well I shouldn't have been surprised when Cedar Fort told him that they would publish his book. That's right... DUSTIN IS A PUBLISHED AUTHOR!!! His book is called 'Learning to Prosper'. It's a self help book aimed at helping returned missionaries use the skills they have learned in post mission life, school and how to graduate from college with no debt. You can see a picture at cedarfort.com then click on the new release link on the left hand side (sorry, I don't know how to put a link). It's on the second page, #17. I just searched on-line and Amazon and a few other online book store already carry it! I am so proud of him!
