In honor of today being Cinco de Mayo, I thought I'd do a Cinco themed survey of sorts...

Cinco happy thoughts at the moment...

1. I leave for Senegal exactly 3 weeks and 1 day from today!

2. I am over half way finished with my IEP meetings! 

3. I'm blessed to be so close to my brother!

4. School is almost out for the summer!

5. I'm looking forward to Special Olympics on Friday!

Cinco facts about your week...

1. I have 3 meetings today.

2. I am planning to get takeout Mexican on my way home so my mom and I can "celebrate" the holiday :)

3. Special Olympics is Friday!

4. It's taken a little caffeine and a lot of Jesus to get me through these late nights writing (prepping) IEPs.

5. It's been 16 days since my world was changed in a truly painful way.

Cinco reasons I'm thankful...
