Last Day of School!!

Good Evening Fantastic Fuzzie Friends!! Today was the last day of school (for most districts, I believe) & I definitely feel extremely relieved although I'll certainly miss my three wonderful elementary schools over the summer, as well as next year, since I will be teaching music at Monongahela M.S. beginning September!! Of course, I will finally be able to devote myself entirely to wedding planning & Summer Band, which is definitely exciting!! Well, I'm on my way home to take care of my beautiful darling dear doggie - Jon left for his trip this morning, so It's completely my responsibility to hold up the fort for the rest of the week!! Everyone, enjoy the rest of your week!! This weekend is Cambelle's 2nd Birthday!! I'm so excited!! I totally can't wait to go!!

Father's Day!!

GoOd aFtErnoOn!!!! HAPPY FATHER'S DAY to all those extraordinarily wonderful well-deserving DADS out there in the world!! Today my amazing grandparents are over for dinner, which is extremely exciting!! We're having spaghetti & meatballs - My absolute favorite!! Mom & I have been literally burried in wedding planning but all's going well!! A few weeks ago, Ash, my lovely sister, graduated from William & Mary, & I never got the chance to update my blog!! We'll here's a cute pic!! Love ya!!

GOOD EVENING Fantastic Fuzzie Friends!! Hope everyone's doing extremely well!! This weekend has definitely been busy busy busy!! Jon's had lots & lots of gigs & wedding receptions & I've been attempting, atleast, to devote most of my time to school work & wonderful wedding planning, which is always exciting!! Ths evening, Mom & I spent a couple of extremely worthwhile hours putting together & stuffing wedding envelopes with wedding invitations, (which turned out absolutely stunning!!) The weather's been amazing & I seriously hope it stays this way, atleast most of the week!!! I'm incredibly excited to commence another thrilling week of school & time has been literally flying by!! Before we know it, June will be here; Summer's already just around the corner - How wonderfully exciting!! Well, have a terrific weekend!!

GOOD MORNING Everyone!! I'm home sick from school today, unfortunately, but hopefully after some serious rest & relaxation, I'll feel considerably better!! At least I'll be able to concentrate on Lesson plans, school work, & sleeeep!! I definitely miss my Doggie, who's at Jon's house & is probably ripping her doggie bed to pieces right now!!

GOOD EVENING!! Today was definitely an exceedingly long day - Unfortunately, I'm horribly sick w/a terrible cough & bothersome sore throat...again, but I'm trying extremely hard not to let it get me down; Of course, that doesn't stop my students (who I love) from getting an inch away from me w/questions, comments, tattles, etc, which makes me feel extremely responsible if they catch something from me!! I just can't seem to shake this sickness, but it better be gone by June - I refuse to become Mrs. Botbyl while snorting, sniffling, sneezing & coughing up a lung!! I'm hoping to be back in comission asap!!

On a positive note, Jon & I had a fantastic time this passed weekend, especially at our adorable neices' Cambelle & Chloe's dedication on Sunday morning at Discovery church, then Sunday afternoon at Danielle's mother's house!! There were sooo many adorable babies, the food was absolutely delicious, & her house is absolutely gorgeous!! I love being there - What an enjoyable afternoon!! Jon's family is completely awesome & I love spending time w/them, especially my little buddy Brayden, & his toy trains!!

I've been trying extremely hard to prepare for my 1st Grade Spring Concert, which is 3 weeks away!! The students are totally excited, & we've been working really hard on our music!!

My lovely "Long Lost" sister Katie & me!!

gReEtInGs!! This is a picture of Jon & me at Chris & Lauren Barone's Wedding on March 1st!!

Yay!!

Mom & I just arrived home from an extraordinarily fantastic exciting day of shopping, which wasn't necessarily planned, but of course one thing leads to another & before you know it, you're completely infatuated with the whole idea of finding amazing deals & discovering unique treasures & home decor that makes a HUGE statement!! I was also lucky enough to come across an adorably sweet dress for Miss Cambelle, my fashionable flowergirl!! Well, I'm definitely lookin forward to loads of school work which will certainly keep me busy for the remainder of the evening!! Jon's busy playing a gig with a new group tonight!!

Good Morning!!

Good Morning!!! Hope everyone's doing wonderfully well & having a great weekend!! Can't believe it's Sunday already!! It's off to Church!!

SALUTATIONS Wonderful Friends -This is definitely the perfect night to commence the "BotbylSmile" Blog, which I'm incredibly excited about. Although I won't officially be a "Botbyl" until June 27th, there's nothing wrong with getting a little head start. I'm just about to run to CVS in order to develop my "Magnificent Musician of The Month" Pictures (so that I can post them outside my music classroom early tomorrow morning before my students arrive), & eagerly assemble my Prize Baggies, which need to look appealing to the students. Just thought I'd spend a few worthwhile minutes enthusiastically creating my 1st posting. Have an exquisite evening & a terrific Tuesday. Apparently "Exclamation Points", my absolute favorite form of punctuation are not permitted; I will try extremely hard to communicate my positive energy in other ways. By the way, How exactly do you add photos to your Blog Page??
