HAPPY THANKSGIVING

Thanksgiving Day is one of those joyous events we celebrate with lots of love and gratitude. Be thankful for the time spent with family (even if it's a little stressful). Don't sweat the small stuff, take time to appreciate the people in your life and the things you have. Remember the good times when you're going through the rough times; friends and family will help you through.


I am thankful for so many things this year: First and foremost, the wonderful addition to my family, Marc, who has brought so much joy and happiness to our home. My friends and family for all of their love and support. The students at Elizabeth Ide for making me smile each and everyday with their kind words and friendly smiles.
