So grateful for the "womenfolk" who were a TREMENDOUS help yesterday in helping lift and move several heavy boxes/containers that mom and I couldn't even move an inch (literally), take several trips to the dump (where we made new friends hahaha), move tons of things, spending HOURS on their day off from work, long lunch conversations, and most of all for bringing joy and laughter to a very bittersweet time of moving. I love y'all...thanks for helping write "June" in the book series with joy and laughter. . . The best kind of friendships are fierce lady friendships where you aggressively believe in each other, defend each other, and think that the other deserves the world. // unknown

It is with tears of gratitude that today I closed out this beautiful school year. As I stood in the doorway of F112 today, I welled up with tears as a thousand memories flooded my mind... God has abundantly blessed me with the most incredible year... and the most incredible people that I spent life with.  It is a strange thing to have your dream come true after fighting for it, praying for it, and believing for it against all odds when you are sick...especially when at one point I had doctors from some of the most well-known medical clinics/hospitals in the world telling me there was no hope for life, walking again or eating normally (without a feeding tube)...to let alone that I would never be able to return to a school again in a teaching position. (One doctor called this dream "ridiculous in thinking".) A dream fulfilled is a beautiful gift... but to have it be an experience that has been BEYOND anything you could have imagined... is a humbling experience that truly has left me speechless. God has been so so good ... and to my students, my amazing sophomores whom I loved spending time with exploring topics of government, justice, and history... thank you. I looked forward to every single morning with y'all... and to the senior class of 2021... thank you for loving me so well. You have been the biggest blessing and one that I thank God for every single day and will continue to do so every single day of my life. I love y'all so so much.  While I was so honored to be offered a contract again with Concord, there are some HUGE changes coming up and I look forward to sharing more in the coming weeks, but for today... it is a day of extreme humility as I ponder and store up and remember in my heart all that God has done. And to the class of 2021... thank you. thank you. thank you. Your love and encouragement, your laughter and life, and your honest vulnerability and friendship has been a gentle and precious reminder #LTKunder100 #LTKcurves #LTKworkwear
As some of you know, my precious mama and I are embarking on a new adventure starting this summer! We are moving back to New York!!❤ . . This is a bittersweet move for us, but when my mom came to me this past Spring and expressed a desire to move back to New York, I knew immediately that it was time to go. Both of our hearts were peaceful with where and how the Lord was leading and it has been AMAZING to see the Lord work out all of the details behind the scenes. We are excited to share that we are moving to the Albany area and in April I interviewed for a job that I accepted a contract with last month! ❤ (I can't wait to share more about how all of that came to be and the sweet and incredible support that I received from my administration and my students on this decision!) . . We so appreciate your prayers for us as we work through a TON of details in these last few weeks here in TN! Thank you for praying for us for us as we finish packing (our 2nd time making a huge move in less than 10 months!!), for our energy and strength, for my mom's house to sell quickly here in TN, for the Lord to provide a perfect place of shelter for us in NY, for this transition, and for the Lord to continue guiding each of our steps. . . Thank you for all of your love and support. ♥️ #LTKunder50 #LTKunder100
