Whip my hair?

Since when did whipping of the hair paint a room?
Just got a little insight of the role models my eleven year olds are looking up to these days.


Maybe I should incorporate this into a lesson?

Cowboys

Last weekend I went to my very first Cowboys game.

The fan that I am, you'd figure I would have made it out to a game at least once in my 24 years. 

However, It wasn't my first time to the stadium- saw Paul McCartney there last year-

but it was still an experience.

They played my favorite team (sarcasm),The Eagles, and lost but it was still worth it.

To be in the same room with Miles Austin was excitement enough!

Plus I got to sit next to this cute boy:)

New Toy

Last week I got a new toy.

We are new best friends. 

I have an itch.

To drop everything.

And explore.

To laugh.

To discover

To learn.

Wanna come?

RIP John

Im not going to post an expected post about the legend that is John Lennon.  His music is brilliant- we all know.

Today I found this sweet video of John and Yoko. Ive never really been a fan of Yoko but after this video my heart smiled and broke at the same time.





They are so in love. I started thinking if the love of my life was taken away from me like that...Id be broken. 110% in shambles.

Well here's to not only a great musician but also to a great love that was lost 30 years ago today.
RIP John

What I love about Austin::: {Market Days}

The months of October and November had me bolting around the country (or mainly just to Dallas) like a rockstar every weekend. Which is why I was looking forward to a weekend in Austin exploring this fantastic place I call home.

Today Abra and I escaped the hustle and bustle to a quaint little town an hour or so outside of Austin in Wimberley, Texas. Our "work mom" took us to Market Days which happens the first weekend of the month from March to December. Located in the hills outside of Austin it was a very refreshing morning  with two of my favorite people.

Among the treasures there undoubtably has to be those things you see and say to yourself "WHO would buy that?!!?!" Which is exactly the conversation we had when we saw these

Hello World. Youre a 1000

I posted 8 times in the month of November.

8 times.

Either Im too busy or too boring to keep this blog alive. 

Starting this blog while living abroad is a hard act to follow. My days may not seem as exciting as London or as breathtaking as the Egyptian pyramids but in actuality they are. Today I was reminded of the beautiful world God hand picked me for in my windowless office Rm ###.  An office with green walls decorated with original artwork with original signatures. An office where I conference 5 times in the workday with 113 of  my employees. An office where the Glee soundtrack is background noise. An office where specific hand gestures are required passwords to enter and leave the room. An office where my business changes the future. 

My office might not be as architecturally divine as the Duomo in Florence, or as stunning as the Eiffel Tower...but to me its more.  My classroom walls are adorned with original student work with original student signatures. After a "conference" my students pack up their things and leave most chairs pushed in, some chairs not.....some chairs sideways. Silent students working, on task, with lights dim while Glee whispers melodically from the corner.  Quizzing students at the door on their hand gestures learned to remember heat transfer is a genius trick for any bouncer.

A room filled with opportunities.... yeah to me this world is breathtaking, awe-inspiring and 100% perfect. 

Its tough to have an explorer's soul. Always wanting to be somewhere else, discovering life in a new place. To have a deep passion to see the wonders of the world. But today I was reminded that one of the greatest wonders of this brilliant world is found in my office, everyday. I get it all to myself and I get to see it every.day.

Hello world, You're a 1000
