Reagan's Fifth Birthday Celebration!

Reagan had her birthday at a kid's place called Hickory Dickory Dock. It's kind of like a Chucky Cheese, but bigger. We didn't know that two area elementary schools were having a sleep over there the same night as our party. There were sooo many kids there. It was stressful for the adults, trying to keep up with their children. My cousin's husband asked if we were going to pass out nerve pills for the parents. Ha, ha! But, Reagan and her friends had a great time! Reagan got to wear her birthday tiara, which she thought was just awesome...

Well, I wanted to let everyone know that I will be teaching fourth grade this fall at a local Christian school. It is called Hickory Christian Academy. I am very excited! Reagan will be able to go with me since she will be starting kindergarten. This is my dream come true. Did I mention that I am EXCITED??? I will have a class of thirteen students. The students were uniforms, which I think is great. Reagan and I will be ordering her uniforms soon from the Lands End student catalog. I will be taking lots and lots of pics of my class and the school this fall.

The school is having a 5K run at the end of August and I plan running in it. I have been jogging since the end of April. I can now run 2.5 miles w/o feeling bad. When I first started running again, it was difficult to run a mile. I am working on my time. Sunday I ran w/ my dad and it helps to have a running partner. He was ahead of me in the beginning of our run and I thought, wait a minute... I'm letting a 60 yr. old beat me... what's wrong w/ this picture??? :) Dad is going to run the 5K w/ me. So, I need to work up to 3.1 miles in the next month. It has been so hot here, it's been hard to find a time to run. Today it is in the 70s though and it feels great! We have had record breaking heat and no rain! I am glad I am running again. I have missed it! I much prefer running to walking...

We are going to the beach for a few days on Saturday!! Will be posting vacation pics soon!
