Thankful Thursday

I am participating in my friend Megan's Thankful Thursday post! Love you Megan!!
          
Today I am thankful for:
1. A long term sub position! It has been hard not having my own classroom this year and I'm excited about sharing the next nine weeks with some sweet fifth graders. :)
2.  My loving husband and family who all mean the world to me! Me, Matt, Kara and Justin are taking Grayson to the beach for the first time next week in Gulf Shores and are super excited about it! I've got to spend a lot of time with Grayson over the last seven weeks since I haven't been working and it has been so nice to have this special time with him and watch him grow!
3.  My wonderful friends! I miss my GSE friends and am really pumped about seeing Tricia and Kristy on our trip to Alabama next week!
4.  My dogs!
5.  All the little daily blessings God sends me! His timing is always perfect! 


I can't believe it's been over a week since my last post! Here are some fun things we've been up to:
Last Thursday I went and spent the day in the classroom where I will doing my long term sub. I got a really good feeling from this school and am hoping this assignment turns into something more. :) Last Friday Matt and I went to downtown Louisville for the Trolley Hop and met up with my good friend Kelly and her husband James to visit some galleries and shops. Afterwards we went to eat at Bunz and Burgers! They have amazing burgers! On Saturday my good friend Sara and Matt's sister Angela came to visit! We went to a cookout at my sister's house that night. My mom and dad and Justin's parents also came over We ate, played cornhole (although the heat was killing us!) and talked for several hours. :) Sunday we had lunch with Sara, her brother Clay, and Angela at Bearno's pizza in Louisville.  Monday we went to Family Palooza at Southeast Christian Church with Kara, Justin and Grayson and then went to eat at Logan's. We did a lot of eating out over this long weekend! Tuesday I went to spent the day at the school where I'm subbing to learn more about all the procedures and plans. :) Yesterday I went to a sub orientation ( I think it's a little crazy that I had to go to an orientation for subbing when I've already taught three years, but whatever :) ) for Greater Clark County Schools in Jeffersonville.  Today I had to go to a sub orientation in Jefferson County so that I can start my long term assignment on the 19th! Tomorrow I am spending the day at the school again and then Saturday we are heading down to Alabama to stay the night with Tricia and Chase!! Sunday we'll be heading the rest of the way to Gulf Shores!! Yay!!

I hope everyone has a wonderful Friday tomorrow!
