So Random

This men's size 11 brand new shoe showed up on the lawn of the junior high. Every time someone comes to the office to ask if we have the item they lost I offer up this shoe...it's funny every time.

I have really great visiting teachers who almost always bring me something when they come visit. They don't have to do that, but I really like it when they do.

On February 13th I delivered these Valentine treats for some co-workers and the book club girls. I finally gave Amie a Christmas present! And I gave a co-worker a birthday present.

This school year Whitney has a fun new group of friends (cue choir of angels) and she actually invited them over to play games (for some reason she doesn't ever want to do this). It was a smashing success!

Whitney is on the honor roll at school so while passing the cabinet with the names I snapped this photo.

This is what a typical car lunch looks like for me, it's basically my half hour of Zen in the middle of a crazy work day.

It's February, our tulips shouldn't be growing like this yet!

Ew!

We're pretty sure Junie cat is pregnant and due the end of March (we're excited). She's super loving and will often come sit on me while I'm reading or watching TV.

My mom recently picked up some food from Wendy's and came to my work so we could have a car lunch...I rarely have those with anyone anymore now that I don't have to work 5 days a week.

Junie allows all sorts of smothering.

Amie and I have been getting together every other week or so for lunch on one of my day's off.

Our weather this "winter" has been wonderful. January and February have flown by and I really think it's because it's been sunny and semi-warm instead of gray and cold like it usually is. It's amazing what a difference this makes in my soul.
