Thankful: Day 8

DAY 8

Technology

I am so blessed to work for a school district that realizes how important technology is in today's society.  TPSD provides all teachers and high school students with Apple MacBooks.  Every classroom at Thomas Street Elementary (including Art, Music, and Library) has a Promethean Board.  As if that wasn't enough, each class room has TWO iPads.  I also have 4 desktop computers.  I use all of these components of technology EVERYDAY and now can't imagine teaching any other way!  The kids are engaged and it is fun for both teachers and students!  The students learn SO much with these devices and can work them better than me!  I am amazed everyday at how "tech smart" my 7 year olds are!

DAY 7

My iPhone

It may sound materialistic, but I am thankful everyday for my phone.  I live an hour and a half from my parents and 6 hours from my brother....this is the only way I can communicate with them on a daily basis.  I miss my family so much, and I am glad to be able to afford a cell phone and have the opportunity to call them at anytime!

 



Thankful: Day 6

DAY 6

My Job

Today I am thankful to have a job that I believe God has truly called me to do.

Some days I am tired and worn out....and I don't think I can teach another day!

But tomorrow comes, I get out of bed, and 16 sweet smiling 2nd graders great me bright and early!

They keep me going all day long, and usually do not slow down!  Haha.

But I am thankful to have job, and to have one doing something that I really love.

{I would also like to mention that I am thankful Trey has a job too!}

My job.

Trey's job.
{I don't have a pic of his classroom!  I wish I did!}

Amanda Shafer

Best friends since the 6th grade.

My maid of honor and sister from another mister!

I love this girl more than words can describe

Thank you Amanda for being my best friend even though

 we are many miles & many hours apart.

 

 

Thankful: Day 4

DAY 4

My sister-in-law Emily.

I have the kindest sister-in-law.

She has welcomed me into the Ward family with lots of love & laughter.

I had to fill in for a friend and do Children's Church this morning,

Emily helped me and I could not have done it without her! 

Thank you Emily for being such a great sister!



Thankful: Day 3

DAY 3

My In-Laws.

I have really awesome in-laws.

We sit together on Friday nights at Trey's ballgames.

They even let me ride with them to the away games!

Today I am so thankful for all they do for Trey and I.

Mrs. Paula & Mr. Bill



30 Days of Thankfulness

I know I am a day late getting started but I have so much to be thankful for and I think this may be a way for me to blog more!  I love my little blog, but lately I feel like I have neglected it.  So, I am rekindling my love for this little outlet of mine and plan to post something I am thankful for every day.

 

DAY 1 

My husband, Trey.

I am thankful everyday that God placed him in my life. 

He supports me, encourages me, and loves me unconditionally.

He takes care of Lilly and spoils her more than I do.

 

DAY 2

My Parents

I am blessed to have the most loving parents in the world.

They have taught me everything I know....from understanding football to knowing how to make homemade cookies to understanding right from wrong and how to make good decisions.

I'm not sure how they did it....but I hope that Trey and I will be great parents one day just like them!

 

** Sorry for the abundance of wedding pictures - I can't stop looking at them. 

I LOVE them and I am so thankful for Jana Berkery & Amanda Jones and their talents!**
