trust.

celebrations.

while i have used the word celebration it is only because these are celebrations to me. some may not think they are worth celebrating, but i do.

this past week we got two sets of great news!

as you know i am in my fourth of teaching and i was nominated for teacher of the year in our building and found on thursday that i had received this honor. i had always had this on my goal list and it really warmed my heart to find out that my hard work and dedication had been seen by others. i am lucky to work at a great building with amazing, dedicated, and passionate teachers. sometimes i always wonder if this is really what im supposed to be doing and i really believe that this was His way of reminding me, that yes, this is right where i am supposed to be. i am lucky to have such a great job that i enjoy getting up and going to each morning. 

 also, on thursday we found out that ryan had been offered an amazing job that will let him fulfill his dreams and doing something he is passionate about.

it is truly amazing that when you can not see even the glimpse of light at the end of the tunnel, that He provides us with these little celebrations and confirmations that we need to trust in Him.

so, this weekend we celebrated at our favorite wine bar with some great friends. i truly cherish those nights. lots of laughs and memories to keep.

i just know 2013 is only going to get better from here.

bring on week 5 of morning workouts. and as i hit these "habit" forming days; i keep reminding myself of this.  

love,
