Crossing the Desert

Take a look at the above picture. That's what the final weeks of teaching middle schoolers looks like. It's a barren desert with mountains yet to climb before I get to the oasis of summer on the other side. Don't get me wrong. I enjoy teaching and love the kids, but it's been a long, crazy year. (Just ask my hubby who has to hear the stories each day!)


I have a way to go still.

I can make it.

I will make it.

A summer of family reunions, swimming, bbqs, and book reading awaits me. I can't give up now.
