Congratulations

This past weekend was a three day weekend for us at school. At the end of last school year, I signed up for the Rock N Roll Half Marathon in VA Beach. It was great, I finished later than I hoped, but in the end I did well with this being my first ever half marathon. I cannot wait to run another!

That night after the concert I had posted up my stats on facebook for the race and many of the teachers commented on my time. Today when I went to pick up my class from music the music teacher told me congratulations. Basically she was congratulating me for a job well done on my race. She then asked me if I told the kids, I said yes. Joseph immediately thinking that I was being congratulated for something else, says "you did not tell us you were getting married!" I instantly started laughing and said I wasn't getting married, but that Mrs. M. was just congratulating me on finishing my race.

Tonight as I write this I think back to when I taught this class in first grade and Celine came up to me one day in the hallway and said she was praying for my future husband, how cute is that? I guess in the end these kids are just ready for me to get married, but in their defense there are not many young single Catholic school teachers in our school, in fact I'm it. In my defense, I still figure I have some time before that.
