Things to which I am looking forward (because I can't end a sentence with a preposition):

1. My sisters coming for Thanksgiving.
The Artist is coming home from college tomorrow afternoon and I. Am. So. Excited. I grew up all spoiled because I had both sisters around all the time, and now I'm the only girl in the house, minus the Mother Ship. I'm ready for some girl talk. Punkin' is coming late Sunday night. I can't wait to talk to her - not that we don't have phones, but you know, she's a wife and mommy and she gets busy. Now I get to talk to her all the time. For a week. :)

2. The weekend/Thanksgiving break.
Ok, so I still have to work Monday and Tuesday next week. Why, I have no idea, because it's not like the kids are going to pay attention to A WORD we say. All they're thinking about is FIVE DAYS AND NO SCHOOL. So this is reheheally worth the time. Not.

3. Talking to my aunt about teaching.
My aunt C is a teacher, and has been for nearly 20 years. I like to pick brains about teaching whenever I can. My grandparents were teachers too, actually. Thanksgiving will be a regular professional development weekend for me:)

4. (Hopefully) the ASTA conference in February.
I'm trying to get my county to pay for me to go to the ASTA conference next year. ASTA stands for American String Teachers' Association. The conference is in California this year and it's AMAZING. So I'm hoping. And praying.

5. Going to Tennessee for Christmas.
This year, I am spending almost my entire Christmas break in Tennessee with Punkin', LoggerDave, and Sticky Bean. I'm excited. Ok it's only two weeks but still.

What are you excited about? (Oops. There's my sentence-ending preposition. Oh well.)
