All Time Favorite Date Moment

If you know me even a little, you know that i love to dress up.  I like every aspect that leads up to an event and all the planning that goes into it.  One of my favorite dates was one when my date and i went to a gala.  I spent countless hours picking out just the right dress, something i felt incredible in and knew would be a show stopped.  (i totally nailed it too) 
My favorite moment came before the event even started...The evening of the event we were both getting ready in a hotel room.  I was in the bathroom finishing my makeup and hair while he was dressing in the room.  I could hear him trying to tie his bow tie (even watching a you tube video) with little success.  From the bathroom i said, i'll be right there to help.  I slipped into my gown and prepped myself for his first glance and hoped i'd meet all his expectations.  Of course he complimented me as i did him.  But, we still had to get that bow tie just right.  
Another thing many of you know about me is i'm a perfectionist.  I stood there in front of him and pulled up a you tube video and followed step by step.  After a minute or two i put the final touches on the bow tie and said okay, this is the best i can do.  He turned to the mirror and seemed very pleased.  We then later joked that he had no idea what it was going to look like and he was surprised how great i did on my first try.  Have a little faith i said, you don't realize who you're dealing with here. 
Standing in front of him trying to tie that bow tie is one of my all time favorite moments.  I think simply the fact that he trusted me to get the job done and i nailed it.  Looking at him all dressed up handsome as ever is a moment i'll never forget.
We went on that evening to have a great time and my dress was a show stopper... People stopped me multiple times (we were even chased out of a bar by a women who just wanted to tell me i was stunning)  It was a fun evening with great memories.

Putting in the HARD Work

 My son Josiah is an excellent soccer player.  He started playing at a very early age.  He practiced and practiced until he started to see the results he wanted.  This wasn't where his hard work would stop.  He knew as did I as his mother he would have to continue to put in the hard work day in and day out if he wanted to make the team of his choice as well as be competitive with the other boys.   When he first started he was shy and wasn't willing to take many risks.  The more time he spend on the field he realized that he had to put himself out there and try new things.  Just when he would think he's at the top there are always better players and better teams.  The hard work never really stops.  I'm so proud of the young man and soccer play he has become.  This leads me to a phrase many have heard me say.  Any relationship and especially a good one it takes a lot of HARD work. What does that mean? Shouldn't the right rel...

The Night Before the Last Day of PreK

 Tomorrow I will wrap up another year teaching PreK.  9 months ago I met my tiny new best friends.  At first I mourned the loss of my previous class but eventually they grew on me and I fell in love with each of them.   The end of the school year (for those who love what they do) is like a really terrible break up.  This week has been full of emotion, some personal but a lot of sadness about what's coming to an end.  I'm not going to say that this year has been smooth or easy.  There have been many challenges. If you think about the amount of time I spend with these children each day it's a lot.  I spend almost 5 hours each day 4 days a week with theses kiddos.   There have been tears (from them and myself). When they walked through my door 9 months ago many of them were quiet, scared and unfamiliar with me.  I was able to earn their trust, and show them that I was more than just their teacher.  I loved them and was comple...

Seriously...

This weekend I made reservations to celebrate a good friends birthday.  It's always hard in the month of December to do anything besides the "Holidays".  But, I wanted to make sure the day didn't pass without her feeling special.  To make the day extra special she invited a few other friends and their children.   We finally got settled in and I noticed this guy, he had noticed our table too.  I kept racking my brain trying to figure out how I knew him.  I playing over my students dads, my boys friends dads, other dads at school, my social circle but I kept coming up short.  I finally said something to my friend and she said, Oh he's on the dating apps.  (One of the first things I often do is check fingers for rings to eliminate that as a possibility...he had a ring).  I said but, he has a ring.  She said, exactly.  This is what were dealing with.  The man was clearly out with family and extended family but is spending his ...
