the hardest part.

tomorrow, and probably forever, will be my last day working at victoria groves elementary school.

it's been five wonderfully incredible years. silly years. trying years. great years. years i will never, ever, forget.

i feel like a piece of me is dying. i am in full control but cannot stop it.

these are students that i care for so deeply. i have known most of them since they were only kindergarteners, and we have grown up together. these are kids that i feel such a responsibility for, and now i'm abandoning them. i've already cried with some of the parents today. tomorrow will be terrible.

i'm trying to be positive with my kids, put a smile on. growth is positive, and change brings growth. we can't stay in the same place forever, and my time has come to move on. i know it's the right thing to do.

but i regret my decision already.

this experience has shown me how much i hate change. i don't even want to think about how much i'm going to miss seeing them everyday.

right now i'm a hot mess, and can't think anymore. i'll leave you with one of my all-time favorites.





hugs and loves.

talking bird.

he says it could come at any time now.


i was convinced i was ready.


i am terrified.


i am so so so so so in love.


any time now.








hugs and loves.
