Let's see if my month was really as full of "May"-hem or as they are calling it these days across social media, "Maycember" as my calendar showed. See if you can keep up.
May 1-My student teacher Priscilla's last day and the Fiesta Party at school.
May 3-Lorelei's 18th birthday! We got her birthday freebies, her nails done, and she celebrated with friends at Cornyval.
May 6-John's 55 birthday! We celebrated with a burger on the grill by Jonas and me!
May 8- Field trip to the Witte Museum with the 5th graders. They actually loved it. I bought myself a cute stuffed Gator in the gift shop to add to my collection at school. The kids named him Witte, of course.
May 9-Retirement party for a Carson teacher. We had a great time catching up with everyone.
May 10- Double feature! Ran a 5k in the morning with the Girls on the Run group I coached for Wernli. I beat my goal time by a few seconds. I came in at 44:32, and my goal was 45:00! Yay me! Prom in the evening for Lorelei! She looked absolutely amazing. We ran into Jen, Darren, and Holden, so we took some pictures together, too.
May 12- Took the 5th graders to their future middle school, Bernal, for a visit.
May 13- Helped Jonas prep for his trip to Belize to study abroad for the summer semester. We got him a fresh haircut.
May 14- Fine Arts night at school. Did some last-minute shopping with Jonas and helped him pack.
May 15- Took Jonas to the airport at 7:00 a.m.! Wow, was I a nervous wreck. I'd been up since 3:30 and couldn't sleep from nerves. It was his first time flying! He was nervous too.
May 16- Staff end-of-year party at Stout's. I received a phone call from Jonas while I was there, letting me know he arrived safely.
May 20- Another double feature. First, Lorelei had her Senior walk at Carson. I took the day off from work so I didn't have to rush from there. It was an amazing morning reconnecting with old friends, students, and teachers. In the afternoon, I went to my student teacher, Priscilla's, graduation.
May 21-Leadership meeting for next year! It's still weird to be creating the calendar for the next school year when we haven't even finished this one yet.
May 22- Lorelei had her final doctor's appointment with her orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Koeck. She was officially cleared! Hooray!
May 23- 5th grade End-of-year party! It was a smash! The kids had a great time.
May 24- Paint and sip at the cutest coffee spot with the girls and Nana. We had a great time. I had afternoon tea with an old friend, Melinda. It was wonderful to catch up.
May 26- Had a family BBQ at Nana's. It was nice to eat and catch up.
May 29- 5th grade promotion ceremony! It was amazing! I'm so pleased with how it turned out this year. Bill Taylor, our local meteorologist, was our guest speaker. It was a magical way to end the school year.
May 30- Last day for teachers, and I packed up my room.
May 31- Finally got Lorelei's graduation announcements out in the mail, and did a little shopping. Lorelei wanted real cowboy boots for her graduation. We found her the perfect pair.
Happy Summer Vacation friends!
