A Beautiful Journey: February 2012
http://megrowingandlearning.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 29, 2012. My Story - Part 2. I was raised in a christian home my entire life. We went to church. Evening, as well as Wednesdays. My mother spent most of her time on the piano bench and my father was the interim music minister for what ended up being. We attended a small church that was beginning to die when I was just entering Junior High School. We started visiting other churches around that time and ended up becoming members at the church that we are at to this day. Saturday, Februa...

A Beautiful Journey: The Proposal
http://megrowingandlearning.blogspot.com/2013/01/the-proposal.html
Wednesday, January 30, 2013. Mark is one of those. I so don't want to be predictable". And boy did it work out well today! We have, what we call, Wacky Wednesday Meetings every Wednesday to meet as a whole team and do lesson plans for the next week. For some reason this week we changed planning times with the Third Grade team. We were meeting at the very end of the day instead of first thing in the morning. I thought to myself,. When did they decide this? I never got an email! Like, all 14 of us? She wen...

A Beautiful Journey: February 2013
http://megrowingandlearning.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 25, 2013. Our Story - Part 1. My first year of teaching contained a lot of "meetings". new teacher orientations to start off the year and monthly meetings with all the other new teachers in the district. It was at those meetings that I met Lauren, the new kindergarten teacher on my campus. We weren't on the same hall so we didn't get to see each other very often, but we instantly had a connection since we were both "new". If I would go out with this guy friend she had from church.

A Beautiful Journey: Beauty in Seasons
http://megrowingandlearning.blogspot.com/2012/10/beauty-in-seasons.html
Monday, October 29, 2012. I've heard it said that there is beauty. Each season holds its own challenges. But also it's own joys. I don't know about you, but for me it's much easier to notice, and focus on, the challenges rather than the joy and beauty that each season brings. My grandfather (we call him Papa), has Parkinson's disease. The past few weeks have been anything but joy-filled. In case you aren't familiar with this disease, here are some facts:. One of the most frustrating things for me is watc...

A Beautiful Journey: August 2012
http://megrowingandlearning.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Saturday, August 4, 2012. Dream, Predict, Plan. The Day My Sister Gets Married. You dream about this day since you were a tiny little girl. You wonder if you know the man you'll end up marrying, if he is right beside you the entire time, if you go to the same high school, or if it's a complete stranger. You plan your wedding years before it's actually time. And then you blink. Casie is the best sister and friend I could ever ask for. The Lord knew exactly what He was doing when He made us sisters. Jordan...

A Beautiful Journey: March 2013
http://megrowingandlearning.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Friday, March 1, 2013. Our Story - Part 2. Three months go by and I find myself face down on the floor with tears. It was a Sunday evening. I remember so clearly laying face down on my floor beside my bed. That place was very special and sacred to me. No one would interrupt me or find me there because I was hidden from the view of anyone walking by my bedroom door. It was a place I went often to be silent and just meet with the Lord. Will you please go out with him? Came out with no hesitation. Lauren se...
