Done!

I'm done done DONE!  I made it, made it, made it!  Didn't know when the day would come but it came!

You are looking at the happiest, finished-with-student-teaching, soon-to-be-BYU-graduate girl around.

Let me tell you, freedom feels great.

I have loved every moment of my BYU experience and I loved being a teacher at Timpview more than I could have ever imagined.  I know that I will miss these experiences (in fact I'm already starting to) but for now I am soaking up my freedom.

I forgot how good it feels to go to bed early, go on a morning run, get ready for the day at the same time as Aaron, listen to The Eagles for fun, wear sandals and pants, eat a real breakfast and look forward to a day that I can fill with whatever I want.

Wow.

While Aaron and I were getting ready for the day and he was sharing his extra lotion with me, I just looked up at him and smiled and laughed.  Aaron scooped me up in a big hug and said, "Oh you're back!"  We just stood hugging for a minute being all happy and free.

The real me is back!  The non-stressed me is here to stay for the summer!  You never realize how hard you worked, how stressed you were, how sometimes grumpy you became until you have a minute to breath and relax.

I'm back!

And I will enjoy this Monday of freedom before I start a full time sub job tomorrow and hard core job hunting.
