the inside feels.

students.
this happens every year.  at the end of the school year i always think, "i will never love any students more than this group."  and at the beginning of the next year, i'm a little disappointed.   they aren't the same as my old students.  but man, give it a couple months and it's like your heart grows three sizes.  [just like the grinch.]  i just love all these crazy 14 year olds, so freaking much.

cars.
stop judging us because we've had 7 cars since we've been married.  #ithappens

the future.
sometimes i'm like, "you know, i think i'm pretty content with life."  but in reality i'm just terrified of change and the future and change in the future.  add in a million what-ifs and i'm like, "yeah, i'm good.  nothing change ever."

my job.
rumors keep being passed around that they want to cut facs programs [aka family and consumer sciences. aka home ec].  like, all the classes i teach.  like, my job.  it just makes me really sad.  so yes, go stem, but also, fight for facs.  these kids really do need to learn "life skills" somewhere, and lots of them aren't getting them at home.

reunions.
hanging out with friends that i haven't seen in forever makes me such a happy camper.  smiles for days.  plus, there's always a lot of laughing, which is totally my favorite hobby.

holidays.
i just really, really, really like holidays.  like all of them.  fact:  i have more halloween decorations than christmas ones.  decorating is my next favorite hobby.
