Busy as a Bee :)

Goodness, it's already been a week since I posted last. It was evident that I had too much time on my hands for a couple weeks that I had of break. Now, it's back to posting weekly, if not hopefully a couple times a week. I still want to show pictures of our guest house and some projects, I've recently finished. It's just a matter of uploading the pictures. Maybe this weekend :)

Things have been busy that past week....
I started in my Kinder classroom last Wednesday, and I do have to say I'm loving and learning right now. I'm learning a lot as to how to deal with students who have extreme behavior and discipline struggles. No matter how difficult some days are going to be these next few months of teaching, I have to remember that God put me in this challenging school/community for a reason. I'm really looking forward to see how much I grow throughout this semester.

My love and I enjoyed a long weekend together. Our weekend was filled with relaxation, projects, football, shopping and movies. And since everyone had the day off on Monday, we had his staff over for food and fun. It was great to have the chance to-get-to know his staff. I'm really excited for many more opportunities to spend time with them. He has a great staff, and they're going to do BIG things @ the Spurs with Eric's skills and knowledge guiding them.

Here's a favorite of everyone's that I made for a party: Ingredients

• 20 small mini pretzels (I use the square pretzels)
  
• 20 chocolate covered caramel candies & 20 plain chocolate candies (I used Hershey's)
  
• 20 pecan halves

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
2. Arrange the pretzels in a single layer on a parchment lined cookie sheet. Place one chocolate covered caramel candy on each pretzel.
3. Bake for 2-4 minutes. While the candy is warm, press a pecan half onto each candy covered pretzel. Cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
