As of this time tomorrow I will be OFFICIALLY retired. My "master" keys that have hung on my keychain for 30 years to the front door of the school will be officially turned over to the "new girl". I had one meltdown this week but tonight I am filled with excitement, relief, and anticipation. I don't look at this as the end of any journey but the beginning of an ever greater one. I am going to miss the children and my friends at school. I am going to miss all the funny stories, the coloring pages, the hugs and the excitement. Everyday was something new. But, this is it folks.................."NO MORE homework, no more books...no more teacher's dirty looks".....remember that jump rope jingle, girls????***** Upcoming events that are keeping me busy?
Mother and Daddy celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary........try and top that!
Macy is coming to stay with me for a week while Heather and Reid go to church camp
Baby Jaxon is coming into our lives and hearts around the end of June. I plan to be in Abilene alot the month of June!
Then........drum roll please........
In about a month we are headed to the beach! I can not wait. All 12 of us and hopefully Mother and Daddy too! New babies and all. I am just so excited!

Wow...when you hand the keys over then it's really over. No one can ever take your place, sissie, but I'm glad you have a chance to do some fun things just for you. You spend all your days taking care of everyone else...now relax (IF YOU CAN!!)and enjoy a few months of retirement before you hit the road running. We can't wait for Jaxon to get here and you to come to Abilene a little more often. Love, JoJo
May God's richest blessings be on you as you begin this wonderful new journey of yours!!!
Thank you for the life of service you gave and for all the lives you touched in those years. What an honor and privilege to serve the Lord in such a meaningful role!

Fun times ahead! We are blessed to have so much to look forward to! I don't know how they'll do it without you at brown. I bet you'll be getting lots of calls for help & how do we do this. Have fun at the beach. Wish we could all go. Maybe later.... Love ya.
