APRIL

So April has been an extremely busy month for us so we have lots to share.....

Well Easter came and went very quickly. We did not even get to do much but we did get to see family, which is always nice. We went to church and then we went immediately to Mimi and Pa's house for lunch. Then after that, we went to Memaw's house to see her and Nana. Getting to see our families is always great because it has been so rare now a days...hopefully that will change after this year.

Then Kya's second ballet recital was on April 17th. She DANCED this time!!! If you did not know, she did not dance at all at the first one and instead simply stood next to the teacher the WHOLE TIME. So... we were a little hesitant about leaving her in it but Renee (the head of Stretch N Grow) assured us that many lil dancers do this their first time out so we tried it again. AND IT WORKED!! Kya did so good! She was still very shy but she eventually got into it and did a great job! See pictures below of our little ballerina.

Finally...And the most important thing that has happened this month.... Will and I both just got new jobs with Lubbock ISD. Both of these jobs are such a blessing for our family. Those of you who did not know, we have been commuting to work for the last year. Will goes to Levelland (30 mi. away) and I go to Floydada (50 mi away)....needless to say we are tried of driving. And besides our new jobs cutting down on the driving, they are also jobs that we have both been dreaming of for a while. I will be teaching AP and Dual Credit U.S. History at Coronado High School (Yes...I will be a PONY) and Will shall be teaching P.E. and coaching at O.L. Slaton!! Talk about being BLESSED!!! Praise GOD!!
