As I start the summer I don't think I have more to be thankful for than this summer. It is only by God's strength and mercy that I survived this truly trying year of teaching. Many may complain about tough years but those close to me know how difficult it really has been. At the beginning of the year I honestly did not think I would make it to the end. Looking back now I can't believe how much I've learned along the way. God has showed me how to be patient when children were trying to get a rise out of me, how to explain something multiple times and in many new ways to help a student who "just doesn't get it" and how to really make a difference in a kid's life. All the praise and glory really goes to the Lord because I would not have made it if it were only up to me.
I pray that He will continue to give me strength as I look forward to the next year and another class of young minds to shape.

Happy Birthday to the greatest DAD!
Dad-Today's your special day. I hope you know how much I love and appreciate you. Here are just a few things I love about you.
1) Your committment to the Word of God
2) Your committment to Mom and your family
3) Your passion for your job
4) The way you zone out when you are watching a big game (even if we are standing there yelling to get your attention)
5) Your "Jonie" stories you used to tell us before bed when we were kids
6) The "twinkle lights" you put in our rooms at Christmas
7) Teaching me how to say my ABC's, tie my shoes, ride my "daddy's girl" bike, and so much more.
8) Teaching me to stand up for myself
9) Always being on my side
10) Loving me most :)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!
