After thinking and praying and wondering for a LONG time, I've decided that my next action step will be teaching in either an elementary school or middle school (probably 5th grade max)! I love love love English, Social Studies, Geography, Math, & Reading. I'm not sure what I will teach, but I should be prepared for anything and everything! In the mean time, I've resolved to doing a couple of things -
- Collect Lesson plans
- Collect CHEAP CHEAP school supplies such as paper, pencils, markers, crayons
- Collect books...grades 2-6
- Collect board games
- Collect decor for my classrooms (ie, posters, rugs, chairs)
will you do me a HUGE favor?! If you are working on getting rid of some stuff, find yourself on the sale aisle in Walmart where paper is 5 cents, or find great books in a garage sale or in your own home that you want to get rid of ... will you forward them to me? I need everything that I can get and with your help I can fully furnish my classroom with little cost!! If it costs, just send me a quick email (lidamathews@gmail.com) or call/text me (see FB if you're a friend)...and I'll be more than happy to reimburse you... BUT you have to call me! If not, you might think it's a great price and I may not have the $$ at the time!
I so appreciate all of you!!

P.S. I'm not quitting my MK business, I'm just going towards something that I feel that God is calling me to do!
Thanks again!
This was the most amazing concert, and we're actually in the Guinness Book of World Records - 259 HD cameras were on the stage!
we were soo incredibly close, we loved it - BUT before we went...
Above is Kenny's meal...which was SUPER yummy too!
(Amazing pyrotechnics..Kenny of course loved them!)
THIS was amazing...their last song was HIGHER...and every time they said higher, flames would shoot up! We loved it!
It's hard to see...but it's a camera that kept going back and forth....no matter how many times it did it, I would look and look at it! Leading to the realization that I'm a fish and like shiny (or not) things that move...ha!
Us before the show! Our view...
and this...
Eventually there will be multiple foggers (we have 3!), bones in the yard, a crime scene in the driveway, and scary ghosts in the tree! We can't wait for the SPOOKY day! We'll show you some neat decor later this month! But...just for laughs, when you are deciding what to wear as a couple to a party, it's SUPER hard to find something that is fun, affordable, and ... easy! So we went to Party City (LA friends, ya'll are missing out! SUPER CHEAP & fun costumes!) in search of the BEST thing to wear..or at least some ideas...BUT we couldn't pass this up - and I had to catch it...if you didn't know Kenny, you'd think he could definately PULL THIS OFF! :)
