High Five for Friday: What a week!!

I can't help but look forward to the weekends!  They allow me to stop and reflect on the week that has just passed, give me time to relax and anticipate the week that is coming up.  I've been thinking a lot about how time has gone by so quickly!  This month marks the 5th month straight that Dawn and I have been blogging.  It's been a huge success, and we are so thankful for all of you who have been following us!

1. Achieving $1,500 PV with Origami Owl for the Month of April

I have been so busy this month with Origami Owl Jewelry Bars.  Mother's Day brings in a huge rush for our company, and after inputting all of my orders, I learned that I had $1,500 in personal volume (total merchandise sold) this month.  I never would have thought that this would be such a successful endeavor, but it has been truly a blessing.  I love meeting new people, hearing their stories, and putting together beautiful lockets they can treasure for a long, long time. 

2. Sitting outside for dinner on Thursday Night

I came home on Thursday and saw that it was beautiful out.  I had the first chance to eat out on my beautiful porch.  I sat outside, enjoyed the quiet, and was able to enjoy my meal with the sun shining. I love spring!

3. Getting an invitation to Monday night's PTA meeting

Today, one of the PTA parents handed me an invitation to Monday night's PTA meeting at my school. Students were asked to think of a teacher who has been a positive influence in their lives, and to write an essay about them.  A student, who I am not yet aware of, has written an essay about me.  I'm honored to be invited, and I can't wait to give the student a hug who wrote about me.  I've had many students over the past few years, and I am blown away and humbled by their kindness.  I'm sure you'll be hearing more about this on Monday!

4. Completing ALL state assessments for this year

On Friday morning, at around 10:30, I was able to give my students the best news they've heard all year: you'll never have to take another third grade state assessment ever again!  They were relieved and so was I.  It's always a favorite announcement I get to make around this time of year.  The spring has so many exciting thing in store for us, including seeing caterpillars change into butterflies.  I can't wait!

5. Running two days this week!

This week I ran for two days, once on my own at the gym and once with friends on the track.  It's so nice to complete workouts that I never thought I'd be able to achieve. Dawn and I are thinking about taking a few classes a week together, and I'm sure we'll be telling you more about that soon!

Have a great weekend!
