First Awards to First Cars

I am keeping this blog at least partially as journal to keep track of my life.
For that reason, I want to note that last Friday I was chosen as teacher of the year at my school. It isn't a big school in a big city. Actually, the opposite.. it is a little school in a small town. But there is nowhere else I had rather be. When they listed my accomplishments and called my name to the stage.. I cried. Yep, on the stage, I cried. It was my "Aha" moment as they say on tv. You know that moment when everything you have worked so hard on, when the late nights and early mornings, when the worry and love and everything all kind of hit you.. and you see that it all really mattered. That was my moment. I think for the rest of my life I will remember it.


Also, yesterday.. I spent eight hours searching for Tiff a car I could afford, and she would be proud of. I drove cars with broken windows, and no AC. I drove cars that smoked when I parked them. I went to Tallassee, Montgomery, you name it.. And I got down about ever finding her a car! Then at 830 last night we met a sweet lady in Greenville and she sold us the most perfect car.. a black maxima with leather seats and great cd player, it has a sunroof and seems to be very mechanically sound. God provides. Everytime. God provides.

Praise God it is summertime :)

Is it summer yet?!

The last couple of weeks of school are almost overwhelming.. there is so much to do!
Anyway.. I just wanted to take a minute to say..

I am really, majorly, especially blessed.
