What I'm Loving Wednesday and OHP!

Did you miss me?  I've been gone for so long that I actually had to LOG IN to Blogger!  GASP!  I have had so much going on with Christmas coming up and MY NEW JOB!  Huh? Yes, you heard right...I GOT A FULL-TIME JOB! 

It is a temporary art teacher position at another elementary school in my area.  Their art teacher is retiring at Christmas break, and so I will start the new semester there!  It is only temporary, so I will have to reapply at the end of the year for the "real" position, but if all goes well then it shouldn't be a problem! 

In turn, I have been super stressed out, sad to leave my current school, excited, overwhelmed, on the verge of crying....I didn't really know how to feel about this, but I went to the new school on Friday, so I am feeling a lot better about it!

So that is what I am loving on this Wednesday!  I'm linking up with Jamie @ This Kind of Love and What I'm Loving Wednesday and Michelle @ The Vintage Apple and Oh How Pinteresting Wednesday! 

 

Here are some other things that I am loving:

 

I am loving that we are having a cookie swap party at school today.  It has been a little difficult to coordinate, but hopefully it will go smoothly and people will participate!

 

Here are the cookies that I am making:

I am loving this Christmas song!

 

 It's totally fitting for me this year!  Made me cry!

 

I am loving that I am going to the Nutcracker on Sunday with my mom and my sister.  It doesn't matter how old I get I still LOVE going to the Nutcracker!  Nostalgia!

 

I am loving that the Christmas party for the Salon is on Saturday.  It is always SO fun!

 

I am loving Pinterest!
