The Past Few Weeks...

Derek had gum grafting surgery a week ago and he is starting to be able to eat food a bit easier now. He did really well with the surgery. There was some pain and kind of was an annoyance to have with eating food and such but overall he did well. I had the same surgery done a few years ago and he did better recovering than I did. Basically what they do is cut some skin from the roof of your mouth and graft it in where it is needed. Derek's was his bottom lower gums. He had to get it done because his teeth were getting sensitive because the gums were wearing away in that one spot. He still has his stitches in but doing really well. Here is a picture right after his surgery. We didn't get one of the inside of his mouth because he wasn't allowed to show that in case it ripped or did anything while it was still very sensitive.

This week was my last week at the preschool. It is so crazy to me and I'm not sure that it has fully hit me yet that I am done. My classroom is totally cleaned out and I handed in my iPad and keys. It is weird to see that chapter of my life come to a close and its really hard to come to grips with because I love that job so much as well as the people and the kids that I work with. It is so rewarding to work with some of these kids. They are so special and to be able to see them progress and grow is so fun. The ladies that I work with are the most wonderful women in the world and I will be sad to not be able to work with them so closely anymore. But I will still keep in contact with them all and always be their close friend. Here are a few pictures of my last day.

This is the first summer honestly since graduating high school that I have not been taking some kind of summer class or getting ready for the next school year and it is very weird. I am so excited to get things ready in the next three months though to welcome our little guy into our family. Its coming faster than we thought, but we are so excited.

Derek is working full time at the college now and taking advantage of the free hours he has to work on projects and do things that he has wanted to do for awhile. Now we can have our summer adventures begin...
