hey!

well the semester is ending, and although i LOVED LOVED LOVED professional semester, i know i need a break. after all these lesson plans and all the work, relaxing seems like a dream come true. i loved both of my placements, and was so lucky to work with such awesome kids AND cooperating teachers. i don’t know how i got so lucky. i’m crossing my fingers that i’ll be seeing them again next year, for my student teaching placements. :0)

anyway, things are good. i BLEW through my tax return because it’s my life and i do what i want. but things are going really well and i’m happy to say that things are as they should be lately. things with dan are good, things with my family are good, things with my friends are good. i miss my brother awfully lately, but i know i’m just having to keep coping. i can’t help but think about him constantly. i know i’ll never stop though.

the winter is getting really warm, and it’s so nice. in a few weeks, we’ll be going as a family to spread my brother’s ashes in the grand canyon. it seems surreal. all my brother ever was is in a little box. ugh. i’m freaking myself out. but anyway, i think this is what he would want. i miss him. so much. hug your brother for me. anyway.

i’m looking forward to a fun summer and to relaxing a little.

i hope things are good with you!
