End of Year Smiles

The end of the school year brings a mixed bag of emotions no matter what plans for the next school year may bring. But this year, emotions are running especially high, as I am changing jobs/schools and my sister is getting married - both good things, but they bring with them big changes and the unknown...

I haven't been one for many words lately, so why should today be any different? Instead, I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. (Currently I am twiddling my thumbs, waiting to be checked out of my classroom at school...)

mom came to town for Marisa's bridal shower so we went to see a show

some of my wonderful coworkers at our end-of-year luncheon

notes from Marisa's students for the shower

there will be more sunflowers at the wedding...

champagne, games, and candy :)

the socks were a hit

the book of prayers and poems was a hit too

I gave the bouquet making job to another friend - wouldn't have looked half as good if I had attempted it...

she's ready for the wedding...

the whole crew - what a great shower!

both of these ladies are getting married this summer :)

Are you twins or something? ;) ;)

just dancing and doing our thing...

Soul Cycle class with my coworkers #tonightweride

I am so incredibly grateful for the past 7 years at my school, and I am excited for the adventures to come (this summer and beyond). Cheers!

Take Time to Celebrate!

A coincidence or not a coincidence? That is the question.

Yes, William Shakespeare's birthday (and death, some say) is on April 23rd. It may or may not have inspired some cocktails and frivolity (all in moderation) at my sister's bachelorette party this weekend...

Antony and Cleopatra

A Midsummer Night's Dream

It's like "Cards Against Humanity"...but with Shakespeare plays and quotes!

Macbeth

Yes, that was all nice, but the best part about this weekend was the excuse to get some wonderful ladies together to celebrate my favorite person and her upcoming wedding:

She's just about 100 days away from the big day...but who's counting?

This weekend's events coupled with the incredible weather and sunshine from today has me going into this week on a full tank. :)
