Fin
Praise God from whom ALL blessings flow. I am DONE!! I finished my first year of teaching and through all the failed tests, long days, "ghetto fabulous," the fights, the tears, the detention referrals, the "Ms. Drummonson, I'll miss you," the good friendships with other teachers, the light bulb moments, the "I can't do this" to "Can I do it for the class?" through ALL of this God has been so very faithful. He has provided for every challenge and allowed for every one of my failings.
He is good and I have learned so much.
Now, on to summer....

Field Trip Adventures
How cool is my dad?? He came to Lynches River County park today and took BOTH of my classes on a field trip! I've never seen them so engaged. It was totally awesome.
Can I just say that my dad is the best??

Has it really been a year?
I graduated from college a year ago.
A year ago I began this crazy journey that has lead me
to Florence,
to Lake City,
to teaching,
to 43 wonderful students,
to my crazy old person house,
to independence,
to loneliness,
to new friends,
to rough days,
to small triumphs,
to wishes,
to a routine,
to cooking for one,
to glorifying God in my small life.
He brought me through this year and to Him be the glory. Now I stand on the edge of another precipice as I look to moving back to Columbia, starting yet another new job, and getting settled there.
13 days of left.
He has brought me thus far and will bring me through the final days.

My Latest Obsession
I'm not a huge health food nut, but I do like to eat fresh whenever possible. I've recently discovered spinach smoothies and I LOVE them! I've never loved spinach in salads because it makes a weird squeaky sound between my teeth that drives me crazy. However we all know we're supposed to get lots of DarkLeafyGreenVegetables and spinach is one of them.
Solution: disguise the spinach with yogurt and fruit!
Start with a half cup of packed spinach and a half cup of frozen fruit.
Throw in a banana and a half cup of yogurt.
Taaada! Thats all you need!
Looks nasty (lets not pretend this doesn't look like vomit), but tastes delicious and is great for you! Seriously ALL you taste is fruit!
Yum!

Astoria and San Fran
A recent trip took me to Astoria, Oregon and San Francisco! It was glorious! Awesome time with my brother and cousin, going to soccer games, drinking really good coffee, hiking mountains, eating tons of great food (with an emphasis on breakfast food), meeting David's friends, long talks, visiting breweries, shopping, taking the Jeep mudding in Washington state, taking naps, reading insignificant books, taking pictures (mainly of the boys doing the kneeling archer pose), and generally have a wonderful trip.
