Visit to Livingston

Today Garrison and I were able to stop by Livingston (the school I taught at for 3 years) for a visit. It was so good to see everyone! Especially my former 2nd grade teammates and especially some of my students from last year. They smiled so big when they saw us and it made me miss them so much. I had the best class last year and I love keeping up with them in 3rd grade. I could tell that they are all getting older and becoming more mature. One of my favorite students is almost as tall as me now. That's why I always liked the little ones- because they weren't as big as me yet. Anyway, being back at the school brought back lots of memories... good and bad. It made me realize that while I did enjoy teaching, it's just not my calling anymore (at least not for this point in time) It reminded me of stress and exhaustion unfortunately. It also reminded me of feeling overwhelmed and like there were never enough hours in the day. But most importantly, it reminded me why I wanted to stay at home and why I now have my own business as a Premier Designs jeweler (independent distributor). Reminders like these are good sometimes and I'm thankful God knows how to help me stay content and grateful!
