Congratulations to my oldest and dearest friend, Brandy...she's getting married!! The wedding will be in September at the Outer Banks and I am so excited for her!!!!!!!! I am currently at work choosing a "first dance" song to sing for them....maybe "Bootylicious" or "U Remind Me of My Jeep"...??
Mom has surgery scheduled for her foot this Tuesday. Please pray for relief for her nervousness and a speedy recovery! She's not the best at resting and taking it easy (yes, I know it's crazy), so recovery will be boring and difficult for her!! We trust God will take care of her.
I have started teaching my After School students street tap, jitterbug, and Shim- Sham (an old line dance from 1930's!!) They are doing great and I'm having a blast! There will be a performance in February for Black History Month, so I'm busy at work on that.
True is the Star Student this week at school. He got into some trouble with the "law" last week and was charged with Excessive Talking, but has apparently been rehabilitated enough to receive this honor - yay!
Reese started his AL classes, and he loves the teacher! She sent me an email saying he was a sweetheart, and that is a true blessing because his classroom teacher is not the warmest of ladies and has not seen the good in Reese this year. He likes school, but he has needed a boost like this!
Cole is working out with Barry three nights a week and getting ready for baseball. His recent standardized test scores were the highest in his grade, but don't mention it to him because he says it's embarrassing to be singled out for smartness. I pointed out that it is more embarrassing to be singled out for dumbness...
Barry and I are having a quiet week compared to last week...and that's just fine. We have to rest up for the next surprise adventure!!
Have a wonderful day and count your blessings.
