I have mentioned in previous posts that there are some major changes happening in the Boyens house.Well,I figured now is the perfect time to spill the beans.

After 5 long,wonderful,crazy years home, I am going back to work!!!! I was offered a teaching position at a local private school and they made me an offer I could NOT refuse-FREE tuition for all of my children!!!! It has been amazing to sit back and watch God work this out for our family. I was not looking for a job,I was not looking to change the boys schools-it seriously fell into my lap,then just worked itself to fit my life perfectly. When I was made the original offer,I only thought the school could accommodate Bruno for VPK.I did not know that in the 7 yrs since I 1st taught there they opened a 1 year old room for Avery and started an LRC (learning resource center) for Drew. Call it coincidence but I call it GOD!

Next Friday is my official last day of daycare.Can I get a Whooo Hoooo? I am beyond ready to reclaim my house,my kids toys,my sanity and my family! Daycare has been good to us and has allowed me to stay home with the kids all while bringing in decent money BUT my time is up! Like my last post said,I have other kids in my house from 6:15am till 5:45(and a night time girl till 11pm) I can't even tell you how ready I am to leave for work,do what I love,be there with my kids,leave with just my kids,come home and take care of JUST MY KIDS! Not to mention all the added benefits teachers receive-paid holidays,summers off,awesome hrs,etc.

The boys are so excited.It absolutely broke my heart when I told Drew the news and his 1st response to me was,"You mean those stinkin kids wont be at our house anymore and you can pick me up at car circle?-AWESOME !" I think this will be so fantastic for Drew's academic success. The ratio's are so much smaller than public school plus he gets as much time in LRC as they feel he needs not what some standardized tests claims.

This has also been a reason for my lack in postings.If you know my personally ,you know I am a little bit of a perfectionist/freak/Martha Stuart(minus the cooking part)/theme oriented type of a girl. I love to decorate and my classroom is no exception. I have all next week to get in my room and put the "Grace" touch on it. I will be taking before and after pics to post for you all.

Wish me luck!!!!!
