First Wedding Anniversary & Mentor Text Linky

I love Sundays for the Collaboration Cuties mentor text linky... and if you'd like to read about that scroll downward. This next bit is nothing teacher related, so if you don't want to read about it I understand. :)

A year ago today I married my best. My wedding day has been the best day of my life, so far. We were engaged forever (599 days!) Time seemed to drag until we were able to say "I do", but this last year has flown by. I guess time really does fly when your having fun!

 We had a problem with our decoration plan. This didn't come to light until 10 days before the wedding. Luckily, wheat harvest was early last year and we were able to incorporate wheat in many aspects of our wedding. 

 Song of Solomon 3:4 "I have found the one my heart loves." 

 I am an only child, and "daddy's girl". Tony & I had a traditional wedding, so I had my first look with my Dad before the wedding took place. I love the photos from this moment.

I usually just wear  boots. But I survived in 3 in heels for the day. (Joanne, I have no idea how you teach in heels everyday!)

 More wheat. I was digging wheat out of my hair for awhile that night!

 I love this man so much! 

 One of my favorite pictures of the day!

We've had a wonderful weekend spending time with each other and celebrating. Complete with some off-road adventuring through the flint hills this afternoon. I love Tony so much; I'm looking forward to all of the adventures God has in store for us for years to come :)

Back to more teacher related things: Mentor Text Linky!!

This is a wonderful book that sums up some of life's lessons in a sweet way through making and eating cookies.

The book starts with: COOPERATE means, How about you add the chips while I stir? and continues with one definition per page. Definitions continue throughout each page with beautiful illustrations. Other definitions include: REGRET means, I really wish I didn't eat so many cookies; and CONTENT means sitting on the steps just you, me, and a couple of cookies.

Using cookies or another shared activity, this book could be used as an example for students to create their own life-lessons learned through a fun medium. A great way to start the year! 

Lastly, tomorrow I'm starting a recipe exchange of sorts. If there is a recipe you love, one you've tried (or want to try) from Pinterest or a great restaurant you'd like to recommend please link up.

I fully intend on participating with Monday Made It throughout the summer too... and I figure "making" good eats, treats and drinks kinda jives with that theme if your wanting to link up with both posts :)
