I wanted to thank all the students of LIBA for a wonderful Alumni Dinner this past weekend! I enjoyed myself so very much and can't wait until next year. What a fun night of delicious food, good laughs, and memories of schools days past! This is ALWAYS one of my favorite nights together. Great job everyone once again!
Because I haven't had time to post pictures of my own, take a look at "Cliff Notes" to see some great pics of the Alumni Dinner!
Hopefully my pictures will follow in the next few days, we are a little busy getting ready for our trip on Thursday! YIPPEE!!!!!!!!!

Maine...
My family is anxiously awaiting the arrival of our early spring vacation! We planned a trip to go way up northeast to Maine for a great week of fun. We will be staying in a beautiful cabin of our very own. We are leaving April 3rd and will return April 11th! We are sooooo excited because it has been a while since we stopped our busy schedule to take a break to spend some time together! And we all definitely need the REST! Just wondering if anyone has some suggestions as to some fun things that would be worth looking into when we go away?

Catching Up...
Dear Blogger Friends,
Sorry about my lack of posting! I've been a little overwhelmed by the tremendous amount of school I have this semester. There has been little or no free time for me the past couple of weeks. Not only am I incredibly busy with school but I'm getting my piano students and myself ready for the recital that I'm putting on April 12th. I've missed being able to post everyday, and catch up with everyone as well. I thought I would try and catch you up with all the events of last week. Mondays are my big school day and I had piano lessons in the evening. Tuesdays are my violin lesson days and lately I've been practicing with my good friend Lisa for the piano recital we are doing together next month. We are playing a duet and are very excited that it is coming together very nicely! Wednesdays are another school day and then I get to go to church in the evening!! Thursdays are the funnest days for me because I get to go into my old elementary school and assist my favorite elementary teacher in whatever I can do to help out. It is such great practice for me and I know it will help me not to just get great practice teaching kids but will help me be a fun, loving, encouraging teacher. I think that is the kind of teacher little kids need. This Thursday was a special Thursday because it was my brother Justin's 12th birthday. It was fun being in school with him that day because he brought in ice cream for the entire class! Yes, I did get some!!!! I also had a great excuse for getting out of work and that is always a treat!!! We enjoyed a delicious birthday meal made by my mother, and a yummy ice cream cake made by Aunt Debbie! We had a great night together. Fridays have become something new for me. I decided that I would try taking up English horse riding lessons. Yes, this will definitely be a surprise to some. My brother Justin has been taking lesson for a while now, and I have enjoyed watching him on the side lines and thought it might be fun if I joined in on his love for horse riding myself. It has been fun doing it together. I don't know how long this will last; but, for the time being we are having a great time! Friday night me and my best friend got together and had a sleepover which we haven't done in a while. Because our lives are both changing and we are both working and doing school, our schedules are so different now. I love every moment that we get to catch up and spend time together laughing and having a great time! Saturday was a great day. Our entire family got together to celebrate my brother and cousin Ben's birthday! We don't always get together so when we do we have a lot of great laughs and enjoy catching up on what we've all been up to. As you can tell it was a packed week of work, school, and lots of fun! Even though I have a bit of a busy life, I wouldn't change the life that God has given me for anything in the world. Through my school, and the tremendous preaching we've been having in my church, God has been really doing a work in my life and I know He is preparing me for all that lay ahead...
Enjoy these pics of the party...
My birthday boy!
Justin with Ben
No, he was not cheering because of the birthday; but, because the Rangers had just won! Ben's exact words,"Go Ranga's " He is such a New Yorker!
The birthday dinner!
Enjoying the meal
My mom is allergic to clams so she wanted everyone to know that she resisted her biggest temptation!
The birthday cakes!
Me and Emma!
The grand finale...
Thanks for reading everyone...Have a great week!

When You're The Best of Friends...
February in our church was Fellowship Month. It was so much fun because at the beginning of the month we were all handed a name of a family in church to do "secret" little things for. From little gifts, encouraging cards, and some even got a surprise pizza! It was so much fun trying to be detective as you tried to discover who your secret family was. Last night after church to close such a fabulous month our church had a little fellowship with each other. There was great food and desserts and plenty to go around at that. We had so much fun guessing our secret families and yes, I succeeded in surprising mine!( what a sleuth!) Unfortunately, I'm known for this, I forgot to take any pictures! So at the end of the night me and my best friend Abbey were trying to get a nice picture because by then the party was over...

My 100th Post!
This is such a happy day!!!! Not only is it my 100th post but my card reader is working again! Hooray!!!!!! This is the weirdest thing because, I didn't even go and get it fixed. I thought I would give it one more try before I went to get it fixed and to my surprise BINGO!!!! I'm sooo happy right now. I had so many pictures that I wanted to put on my blog and wasn't able, so, some of these things that I'm going to post happened probably about two weeks ago. Hope you will bare with me... :)
