Five.

Wow...can it be?! My last Monday at the school?! It was a lot more emotional than I thought that it would be. Nicole had written and sent out one of the nicest letters about me to the parents. I was given the opportunity to read it and let me tell you...it made me cry. And I was also able to talk to Nicole privately about it...and I have to say that it was a very emotional conversation. I will forever be thankful for what she has done for and with me. She is an amazing director, teacher, and friend...and I am glad that I was able to have the privilege to work with her. She was a wonderful mentor. And to this day I know that I can go to her with any teaching problem that I might encounter...but she is also a friend that I can talk to about anything. That is one of the wonderful things about this school...it is like a family among the staff.

When I got home, I saw that I got a package...and I had fun stuff that was sent to me! Always exciting to get something in the mail...or on my doorstep. :)

Amazon is one of my favorite places to go online shopping. I love how you can also send things as gifts on Amazon...and it can go straight to the person that I want to send it to...or if they send something to me. :) Which is always a fun thing. :)

So, here is what my package looks like when I opened it. Random stuff, ya?! *laughs* Oh well...stuff fun to get.

I love this little gadget! I had mentioned that I wanted something like this to a friend...and look what she got me! She sent me the money/gift card to get this...and so I did! I had told her that I loved singing in the shower...it's something I love to do...just because. And LOOK! It's pink! Can't go wrong with a pink, water resistant sparker :)

Since I can't have a dog or cat at the moment, I have my fish...and I am known to spoil my pets. I love them. I got the leaf hammock for BamBam Jr. because I have heard a lot of how betta fish love this...and I have to say that I have see Jr. relax on it every so often since I've put it up. And I have read that freeze-dried blood worms are really good for tropical fish and bettas...so I got those for both fishtanks. And I have already fed all my fish with this...and I can tell that they really love this! But I won't be feeding this everyday all the time...but as a treat. :)

I can always use glue sticks...and these were very cheap, so I couldn't help it but just to stock up on my glue sticks.

Here is a picture of where I put my awesome speaker. And I have to say that it's sound is amazing! You can control the sound, skip a song, backtrack a song from this nifty gadget. I 'm so glad that I got it!

And in this last picture, you can see Jr. just about to chill on his new chilling leaf hammock. :)

So yay to surprises in the mail and thoughtful friends. 

Blue Christmas.

So, I am quite excited because we finally were able to put up our Christmas tree! I wanted to go with the blue theme this year...and so we did. My brother and my housemate helped me with it...and we had fun putting it up! Now, I just need to wrap my presents and put them under the tree! The lights are SO beautiful!

I'll add the presents soon!

So pretty! It makes me smile!

My Christmas nails this year was done fast. I didn't realize that I would be busy...but what do you expect! Weddings and teaching and studying takes up a lot of my time...and so here are my Christmas nails! Super fast, yet fun! Well, I hope that this Christmas will be filled with lots of fun! Even though Amanda will be going home for Christmas, she will be back for New Years, so that is good...:) Well, I need to go to sleep now...but yes, I am excited for Christmas! :) Oh yeah, here are my nails!
