I got tagged

I just got back from an amazing trip to the mountains of North Carolina with 200 8th graders, 16 adults, and 8 high school juniors. I’ll definitely post about the trip and some inspirational lessons I learned as a result, but not tonight. I’m still processing, and I had a very busy day.

However, I was tagged by both Alyson and Jackie on the following meme. So, here it is.
