Leaving.....

I wasn't really sure when it was actually going to hit me that I was leaving Willard. I've known since mid March that I wasn't coming back due to the department "downsizing".....and there were thoughts of me moving to KC before that even. But, even then I don't think it actually sunk in that I was going to be leaving my very first class room....my first "big kid job!"

This morning during my planning period I started (finally) boxing up all MY stuff. It was much harder than I thought. My desk is now all cleared out and my closet is almost empty. The last thing to go will be my decorative stuff...my round colorful paper lanterns that I LOVE.....I just cant bear to see the room all plane yet.

But right now 2 boxes are filled....sitting in the back of my class room. I got pretty emotional when I closed up that second box and set it next to the other. This is much harder than I thought it was going to be!

Because I am SO excited to move up to KC and start a new life and be with an amazing man, I thought leaving Willard would be just something that happened in the process. But, its more than that...

Today was a sad day for me.....

Only 4 and 1/2 days of school left......

Then my first job is over.....
