Top Ten Blessings This Week

Tory's Top Ten Blessings This Week

10. We had two days off this weekend! Wahoo! Last week we had a makeup

Saturday, which sure made for a long week!

9. Yesterday Roy and I ran our first 5k and we made pretty good time.

He's not a fast runner. I had run at my pace, leaving him far behind,

but then I felt guilty. You ran (in La Conner) down to the waterfront,

turned around, and ran back to the middle school, so when I passed him

still heading towards the water, I turned and ran with him. I had to jog

in place a few times waiting for him to catch up, but we crossed the

finish line together holding hands. We ran it in 32:28, which is slow

for me, but the fastest he's ever run. It was so neat! We're going to do

the St. Paddy's Day Dash in two weeks and he said he'll do it again.

8. Today we both started working on our NYC Scrapbook. I did some pages

on the computer and they turned out AWESOME! His turned out better. He

did them by hand. I always mess up and am never satisfied with my ones

by hand. If you want to see the two I've done so far go to

7. Friday I took 36 of my students to the Experience Music Project and

we had a GREAT time! Lots of parents came with and had fun as well.

6. After the field trip, most of my kids thanked me. I always appreciate

that.

5. My " smoker " has been in every day and has not smoked a single

cigarette since I caught him! Well he says he hasn't, but I haven't

smelled anything on him. I trust that he hasn't.

4. One of my girls was chosen to be submitted for a very prestigious

scholarship. They only choose two students, and they chose her out of a

number of applicants. She's a great kid. She's been in my FBLA for four

years, a state officer for two years, and is just an all around great

kid. I'm so proud of her!

3. Roy and I went to see The Passion on Wednesday. Wow. It's an amazing

movie. Very moving. I'm glad we saw it together and that we both share

an understanding and deep appreciation for the Lord's sacrifice.

2. We got a new couch this week and it looks great, plus it made me

clean the livingroom. It's amazing how grimy things get over the Winter

when the sun isn't around to highlight the dust llamas living there!

1. Spring is coming! The crocuses are croaking! The daffodils have poked

up their little yellow heads. The quince is blooming! YAY!

You're so sweet! I'm a slow runner (even when I was into it, just a

BAD stride) and on long runs, it was always so nice when a friend

would finish and then run back to me to encourage me to the end.

I thought about how I'd feel if he ran off ahead and left me in the

dust...and felt like I should turn back. He's sweet, though, he

immediately said " No! Don't ruin your time! "

He was really not happy the last mile so I put on my cheerleader hat and

reminded him how good it was for him, how most people were lounging in

bed, what it was doing for his body, how proud he was going to feel when

he passed the finish line. I was right! He's been talking about it all

weekend and he signed up with me for the St. Paddy's Day Dash!
