Yippee!

Good news...we rented our house in VA! We listed it about three weeks ago, and the contract was signed on Tuesday! It's a big sigh of relief for us that everything is taken care of here with our house. We didn't feel comfortable selling it, especially with the market right now, so we decided to rent instead.

Picasa

John and I love the computer program Picasa! You can make any regular old picture from your camera look incredible! There are a lot of effects you can use to enhance your picture. Here are some examples of pictures we've used Picasa on!

Saying goodbye to awesome friends

We'll miss you GCGOAT!

One of my favorite people!

Ginger is awesome, and we click so well! She was an assistant in my room the last two years, and I don't think I've laughed so hard with anyone at work before! I am going to miss her so much! For my goodbye gift, she made me a vocabulary book of words I'll likely hear in West Virginia. Big ups to Ginger!

Goodbye Quilt

My first graders made me a surprise project in art class, and gave it to me on Friday. They put together a quilt (out of paper) with little goodbye messages. Just another example of something that made me cry this week!

Favorites

I wanted to post some of my favorite pictures over the years. Here they are!

Goodbye Dessert Party

My lovely friends threw me a going away dessert party. It was so fun to hang out with everyone since it's been a while! Here are some pictures from the night.
