Hello all! I should be dutifully planning for next week, but who wants to do that?! So here I am writing on our blog. I think I can count all of the times I have posted on half of one hand...sorry. I don't know what it is, but I don't like to write publicly. Hopefully, you will still be excited when news does come and still check in on us Dixon's every once in a while. (Yes, this is Emily talking.)
I am still teaching in 3rd grade...but not for long. School is almost out and I can't wait!! The kids are wild and I'm just ready for a fresh start. Well, I'm going to get one. My principal came to me on the playground a few weeks ago and after our brief conversation about some children playing silent ball, just came out and said, "I'm moving you to 1st grade." I was in complete shock as it was out of nowhere and only March. I had no idea that next year's changes were already in the works. Ultimately, I am excited. I think that I have more to give the younger kids of this world. I feel that my personality is better suited for that age. I hope that I can figure it out and do a good job. 1st grade is a big year. I will say I am a little nervous to teach them how to read.
What else can I say...I have the greatest husband. I don't know how I got so lucky, but Cameron is wonderful at helping me do the dishes. I make dinner and he cleans up the kitchen. I can't express how much that means to me. Cooking is actually something I enjoy and doing dishes is not my favorite, so I got the best deal!
This morning we had the opportunity to help a couple move. It might seem crazy, but I love to serve. I would much rather worry about someone else than to worry about what I have going on. I love to make people happy and lighten their load. The couple was moved to tears to see the help that turned out to assist them during their time of need. I'm just glad I could help.
I don't want to get too long and bore someone, so that is what I will say. Leave me a comment so I can see that there really are people who visit our blog.
We're glad you're our friends!

How fun... I totally see you teaching first grade. Glad to hear things are good for you. I coming to Vegas in July and would love to see you if you're around...
I taught 1st grade, Emily, and it is the time in their lives when you can make the most influence for good because that is when they learn to READ! And I know you love to read and will share that with them. Your tenderness & kindness will be much needed in these young people's lives and I can't imagine a more beautiful woman to teach children at such an important time in their lives. You will be magnificent, sweetie!
