Happiness Highlights 4

This past week has been a blur! That one day off on Veterans' Day was a tease for the week off ahead of me. My students weren't too bad and we made it through the week with no major incidents. I stayed late at school on Friday so that I could get everything done before my break. No school work for me! It's a good feeling.

Yesterday was our annual church BBQ. It is a HUGE event with lots of volunteers and places to serve. I helped out on the serving line in the morning, making to-go plates. I also helped at the dessert table, cutting and serving desserts. I made a pineapple coconut cake with cream cheese frosting and it was a hit! There were no leftovers. It was a long and tiring day, but I was glad to be able to help out. I then spent some time with my family last night, eating dinner and hanging out. We had a lot of fun. :) I am ready for my sweet hubby to get home. He has been in Atlanta this weekend for a youth worker's conference. He will be home tonight.

Here are some things I am thankful for this week:

• Pulling out the Christmas decorations and getting ready to decorate our house
• A week off of school (as mentioned above)
• Beautiful leaves in my yard
• ONE cold day...come back fall!
• Christmas music
• My church family
• Planning the Thanksgiving menu for my family meal
• Getting my students' Christmas presents in the mail
• One month away from our 1 year anniversary!

God has blessed me in many ways and I have felt His presence this past week. Life is good! :)
