This is what I should be doing. I should be taking this friend on trips and surprises to make her special day even more amazing. I should be taking her to coffee shops and movies. However, distance has separated us and I'm left making typical Facebook shoutouts to try to show an mere ounce of how much I love this girl on her birthday. Happy Birthday @maryfromwalnutcreek !!! I hope today was everything. I hope you got to pet a horse. Love you more than you'll know. Thanks for not letting the states between us alter who we are as friends. ❤️

As a teacher, I FEEL everything--to a fault. Makes me so thankful Jesus gets me, comforts me, and leads me through it. ❤️🙏🏼

I live for teacher humor this time of year... #itshowigetby

Sometimes you just decide the night before that you're going to take your students camping. Complete with campfire stories, s'mores, nature scavenger hunt, and fishing for compound words. #friday #itsahalfday ##stargazing #camping #tent #campfire #fishing #firstgrade

This made me laugh so much because of how insanely true it is... Already on vacation... #summerscoming #almostdone #comeoutcrawling

I take selfies with my dogs ❤️🐶😘 #itsnormal #olivemoon #mybaby #chihuahua #dogsofinstagram

Dance quotes get me.

This little comic holds more truth about education than any other I've seen in a while. Even down to what the tissue box says. #education #morethanteaching #kidsneedlove

I won an Oscar today from a student. I would like thank my college debt, all my work besties, & Pinterest. Only took me four years... #oscar #academyawards #bestteacher #goldstatue #bettetthanLeo

When you go to take a picture of your dog and this is what you get... #olivemoon #vicious #rawr

Thank you to all who came, helped, & supported my girl at the car wash today. My dance girls mean everything to me, & it was such a joy to be able to raise almost all the money my girl will need for her trip. This will be an experience she'll never forget & I'm so glad we got to help her go! #anythingformygirls #dance #icoach #carwash #experientiallearning #tripsofalifetime

Just advertising for my girls ❤️

Anyone in the Phoenix area that wants to put their money toward a good cause & drive away with a shining car...come to O'Reilly's Auto Parts at 83rd Ave & Lower Buckeye tomorrow 4/16. There will also be a bake sale. All proceeds will help pay for one of my dance girls to go on an educational trip to New England. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for her & I'd love to see her go! #phoenix #carwash #oreillys #dance #danceteam #arizona #cars #bethere

I may have swiped a students hat for this picture...but I wanted to say Go D-backs! ❤️⚾️ #azdiamondbacks #homeopener #baseball #wishiwasthere

As I watched my cell phone fall to the ground after a student was just trying to hug me & I picked it up in terror what I knew would be--this saying came to mind. It's just a cell phone. #littlereminders #stillworks #simplifyingmylife

Heard this song on the radio this morning & found the words to be powerful. Life doesn't always go MY way, but I choose to trust in HIS way. #laurendagle #trustinyou #christianmusic #truthinlyrics #klove
