More Tulips to Share...

I had to get more of these pretty tulips to share!  I was positive when I got the idea to keep on tagging...that I would have to take something over to OUR friend Candy!  This is definitely another person who has been a positive influence on my family. You can always count on Candy to greet you with a huge smile along with warm words of how great you look! And she always has something special to share with you about your kids...and how much she enjoys them all.

I first met Candy when my third son was playing little league with hers. They were on ALL STARS together and they have been great friends ever since. We had a great season and that was where I learned what a great sense of humor Candy has. She is hysterical...and I am sure that is why she is named "Favorite Teacher" by the kids year after year. She teaches Spanish and Speech and Debate at our local high school...and the kids all LoVe her. My kids ended up being in her class...and TA-ing for her. She always saved that coveted spot for my boys...which was always fun for them. She was sad last year when my baby graduated, as she said he had lightening fast fingers for entering grades into the computer. (I guess all of those computer and video games paid off! LOL). My son was just telling us the other day that he still stops by to visit her...I personally think those are the special teachers...the ones kids go back to visit! That means they have touched that place that isn't always easy to find in teenagers.  

I really had to chuckle at this though. Her son is currently serving a mission for the LDS church. So...Candy had his best friends over to have breakfast to celebrate his birthday...and so she could send him pictures of his party. How cute is that! I think she was totally missing him and drew strength from having his friends surround her. They loved it! And I thought that was the cutest thing! He will be returning soon...although, I heard he had asked for an extension...because he was really enjoying his work in Japan. He is pretty remarkable, too! And we are all excited to see him when he returns!  

I just wanted Candy to know that we all appreciate her friendship, her kindness and the time we have shared with her... 

We Love You Candy! And yes...
TAG YOU'RE IT!!!
