I got to do a lunch break with my friend and coworker Allison one day.
Teacher Appreciation week at work left me feeling so blessed!! My students' families were so sweet with gifts, cards, and giftcards!
An evening with the Herring ladies. They took me out for supper, then icecream!
Then joined me at my apt for playing a game. Such a fun evening!

On Mother's Day, I wasn't able to be home in KY, but I was invited to join dear friends in KS for Sunday dinner after church. So good to see these dear friends again.
Enjoying delicious food with sweet friends.
Mother's Day evening I got to walk with my friend Susan. We enjoyed a restful evening at the Gathering Place.
Matching with my lead-teacher and other assistant teacher. :)
One evening at Chick-fil-A, some sweet friends came to see me! It made my night!
One weekend in May I flew home to KY for the graduation of my friends at God's Bible School & College!

Monday morning I got to spend a couple hours with my mother before going back to OK.
Daddy dropped me off at the airport.
I had good flights back and my last flight I got to sit by the window.
One beautiful evening in May. There's been many tornadoes in OK this year (higher number than usual). I'm thankful for God's protection for me, but also sorry for those who've lost much because of the storms.
Kindergarten graduation at Happy Hands. Such a special day!
Sweet ladies!
Memorial Day I got to go visit my brother and family in Joplin for the day!
Fun on the trampoline with my nieces and nephew!
It was fun to swim with them too.
I delivered Charissa's quilt to her that Mother made and quilted for her recently!

One last walk with my friend, Susan, then we ate at Braum's. She's moving away, which is sad, but I'm so thankful for her friendship in the last few months. We've gotten to walk and talk quite a few times.
