The week is done. I have been anticipating this week for months because I knew the last week in my classroom would be a tough one and now it is done. I am relieved and scared to death.
I had such a great week with my students, but it was so tough to say goodbye. Tuesday was the 8th grade banquet, Wed. was my final track meet, Thursday was the last day of school and Friday was the 8th grade class trip. I felt like I said good bye so many times and each time brought up more tears and emotions.
Yet, through this all I have felt God there with me. Don't get me wrong, there have been plenty of times where I have been frustrated with God; my little brain can't really understand the timing of all of this. But I do trust that God does understand what is going on and He is in control. I am continually trying to surrender my thoughts and frustrations to Him and let Him drive.
So, tomorrow is really my first day off for the summer. I will be at school a little bit yet to clean up my classroom and finish up grading some papers, but in a sense, tomorrow starts a new season of my life. A season where I will hopeful become a mom soon. I am excited to see what God has in store for me.

Hey Kelli,
We are praying for you! I can't imagine how hard it must be, but hopefully the goodbye won't be forever and joy will soon replace the sadness!
Hey Kel,
How hard that must have been to leave all those students. I can't even imagine!! But, hopefully sooner than later we get to see what God has in store for you. :)
We should get together for coffee now that schools done. :)
P.S- When you do get your little honey, I would love to take some pictures for you--free of charge of course!! :)
Kelli, (((hugs))) I pray that summer brings many blessings your way... including that one you are longing for so much!
