Talk about spontaneity! Kendall and I have been wanting to plan a trip to New York. He is a huge Yankees fan, and of course this is their last season in the original stadium, so we knew it was now or never. On Tuesday, Kendall was looking around for good deals, and we found one...for today! Yes, we booked our flights on Wednesday to leave today for NYC. I am spending the day packing and doing laundry. I love being a teacher! I can just pick up and go to New York in the summer time without concern!
It was strange saying goodbye to my fifth graders. Teaching is harsh. You start the year with all of these new (very different, very weird) kids you don't know. You are stuck in a room with them for like 6 hours a day trying to get them to learn something (and not kill each other in the process). And all along, you fall in love with them (or not in some cases) and then, after 9 months (app 1,100 hours) you have to say goodbye. I cried like a little girl! How pathetic! Next year will be different. For those of you who do not know, I will be teaching 7th grade English, Creative Writing and Speech and Debate next year. It should be a new and exciting adventure for me! Plus I'll have like 80 kids instead of 20.
I need to pack for tonight! I'll take some pictures for you all!

I think it's so appropriate that Meagan "Tucker" books a trip to New York two days before she leaves!! Have so much fun.
Oh, I love you and miss you. Keep updating your blog. I like stalking you and seeing what you're up to.
