Looking
back at 2014.
I
has been a year! Before jumping head first into 2015, I thought I would reflect
on the past 12 months.
Here
are the highlights….
January:
J
(my husband) and I rang in the new year with our best friends in downtown
Roswell. The night was crazy, and we felt it the next day. We also had our first snow day
of the year in January. If you watched the news, you know it shut down Atlanta.
I couldn’t make it home, but luckily my best-teacher-friend took me in for a
few days. 
February:
Our
little puppy turned ONE! We also had a few more snow days. This
time we were a bit more prepared, and I got to spend the snow days with my pup
and J. My best-teacher-friend also won Teacher of the Year! So proud of her!
March:
One
of my best friends, Katie, said “I do!” Her wedding was beautiful, and so was
she.
April:
For
spring break J and I went to Riviera Maya in Mexico. It was very relaxing!
Although, we never ventured away from the resort, we did some fun things on the
resort. Not to mention, our room had a swim up pool, amazing!
May:
May
brought on the end of the school year and my birthday. We celebrated the big
2-8 with my close friends and sushi!
June:
I
went on a week long mission trip called Blue Skies. See my post about this
incredible organization HERE.
In short, Blue Skies provided families
with childhood cancer a week long vacation filled with fun and happy memories. My best friend Emily was the party
planner for the week, and I was her assistant. Check out some of the awesome
parties we set up. 
July:
I
spent July crafting and enjoying summer. J and I took Rosie to the
Chattahoochee river one afternoon. This was her first time swimming. She loved
it! One of my besties
and college roomies came for a visit in July. Jessi = FUN and indeed we had
fun!
August:
Back
to school I went. This year I am doing an inspired classroom (what’s that? Read
about it HERE), and the students got right to work on the computers on day 2!
September:
In
September we went to the MOON! To wrap up our unit on space we pretended to be
astronauts for the day and blasted off to the moon. The day was filled with
educational, yet fun, activities… including making the phases of the moon using
Oreos!
I
also celebrated a big milestone on TPT! I couldn’t have done it without all of
my followers! I love you all and appreciate your support!
October:
J
and I celebrated our 2nd wedding anniversary. We celebrated with sushi and
visiting a pumpkin patch! Rosie loved the little pumpkins we came home with. 
November:
We
were very thankful for all of our blessings this year! One blessing arrived the
day before Thanksgiving. My best friend, Emily, had her first child! Parker is
an adorable, healthy baby boy.
We
are lucky that both our families live close to us. We started Thanksgiving with
my family and then mid-afternoon we went to have dinner with his family. Yes,
two Thanksgiving meals! Maybe that is why my pants are so tight now.
December:
I
can’t believe we are already halfway through the school year and halfway
through with winter break! I have enjoyed it though. We started break by going
to Nashville to see one of J’s fraternity brothers get married. We spent Christmas Eve and Christmas morning with J’s family, then went
to see my family in the afternoon. J really spoiled me. One of my favorite
gifts were the new stools for my classroom (see picture below). The day after Christmas we went to South Carolina to visit J's grandma, aunts, uncles, and cousins. We had a great trip and enjoyed every minute with his extended family.
It
has been quite a year and I can’t wait to see what 2015 holds for J, Rosie and
I.
