Retirement is coming soon!!

I guess anyon who read this is wondering why I haven't "blogged" since spring break. Well, so much has happened, I'll summarize: I decided to retire at the end of this school year, I had major surgery to repair a very large hernia, we closed school for the children at the end of May, and now I am in the process of cleaning out my office, finishing up all the paperwork that principals do in the month of June, and looking forward to my last day - June 30th!

Wow! I am so excited about retiring. More time with my mom and the rest of my family is what really urged me towards my decision. Of course, some events related to school also played an important role. As far as that goes, I mostly just got tired of all the "junk" that comes with trying to do the best you can in a difficult position. Since I am in a position to take early retirement, I decided that I could do more with my time and be a much happier person if I retired now instead of later. Make sense? If not, it's okay, because it makes sense to me.

Hmm.. what shall I do with all of the time I will have now? Travel, read books, sleep late (if I can!), watch movies, do some writing, get more involved with church related activities, get deeper into the Word and have a closer walk with God. I like the sound of it all. Can't wait to get started. But first I think I'll take a Sunday afternoon nap - they're the best!!
