Reasons to Celebrate in February

Who knew the shortest month of the year would have so much reason to celebrate?
1. 6 months ago today, I got in the car and started my trip here.
2. February 6th is the last day of my first semester as a teacher.
3. February 7th I'll be going to an Academic Decathlon event in preparation for me taking over as half of the coaching.
4. February 12th is Lincoln's 200th birthday and because I'm the teacher, we're doing a set of lessons to lead us there.
5. February 16th I get a day off of school for President's day. Being from Illinois, this will be my first President's day off (we always got Lincoln's Birthday.)
6. February 22nd is the oscars and then hopefully the insane commercials pushing movies for the oscars will stop :)
