And so it begins...
tomorrow's the big 'first day'
I've got 79 kids in all classes combined and I can't wait to meet them. I know I've been led here for a reason and I know that great things will come from this experience, they already have. I had burgers yesterday with the girls and they are just so cute! They ended up bombing me with water balloons and I was soaking wet all afternoon.
I've heard of heaven on earth, but never truly experienced it till this weekend. My parents being in the resale business among other things, often bid on mini-warehouse building that have been abandoned. Well it just so happens my Uncle owns quite a few of them in houston and is frequently auctioning them off. This past week he gave three of them to my mom if she'd just clean them out. FREE OF CHARGE. Two of them belonged to a man who formerly owned a shoe store downtown and oh my lord at the shoes and jewelry we've acquired. Hundreds upon hundreds of shoes as well as boxes and boxes of brand new jewelry. And so far that's only been half of one building. My mom claimed that she rolled back the door and the angels sang as light shone from the boxes, haha. She's such a nut. It's always so much fun going through other peoples junk. I also got an electric guitar, tons of strings, an empty mandolin case (unfortunately) and a drum case. Crazy stuff in there.
