One week, two awesome events!

Last week two awesome things happened...My dad celebrated his 25th anniversary with his company and I was in a flash mob!

On Thursday I got to leave early from work to go to my dads office to support him with my family as he celebrated is 25th anniversary with Hampton Lumber. I was so proud of him as the president of his company spoke of his accomplishments, funny moments and time spent mentoring others. My dad also had a chance to speak to the the group...aka the entire company and I couldn't help but feel inspired. As a young teacher I can only hope to find a school and community that I want to be member of for 25 years. Good job Dad!!

I don't know if you all know this, but I am OBSESSED with flash mobs! I think they are so silly and I even asked to have one for my birthday last year....that dream didn't come through in July, but it did last week!

Here's the back story: Over the holidays the principle of my school agreed to do the Dougie in an assembly if we raised $4000. Well, you guessed it, we did! He practiced over the holidays and when we got back, the leadership team asked us teachers if we wanted to join and put on a flash mob. It was AWESOME!! I practiced and everything :) So here it is!!




I know right...75 person flash mob, no big deal. In case you were wondering, "dance in a flash mob" has been checked off of my bucket list!

Look for a weekend recap later this week...it includes pictures from my CAMERA, a trip to the beach, complete with a bloody mary bar, winning friends and love at the casino, a pudding cake fight,  lots of thriller dance moves and the worlds most fun game "personal pictionary"!

xo,
