Friday was my last day as secretary of Liberty Charter School. I absolutely loved that job. For the last two years, I have enjoyed the pleasant drive at 6:50am (or around that time), watching the sunrise during fall and spring, and enjoying the warmth of coffee in my hands and the perfect song accompanying during winter. It will be a significant change of habit next fall not driving to Lewis Lane, to then grab the bundle of papers, say hello to the boss, turn on the lights & copier, start the coffee and check the messages. What an incredible group of people, so strange and so kind. We could seriously be the subjects of the next Christopher Guest film. From 75 year old Janet, the other secretary, to Debby the cooky lunch lady, Bette the exuberant music teacher and the principal's 80mph walking speed. This is harder than any other job I have quit, because this is also the school I went to starting in 7th grade. It was nice to have another community aside from church or NNU, although everything in Nampa is intertwined anyway. Oh what a blessed season.
The picture(s) above and below are from Friday. On the last day every year, the teachers put on a dance. The students who are silent in the halls every day, on this day let it all out, screaming at the top of their lungs as their loved teachers dance in a way they maybe shouldn't. This year I was honored to join them in a Tina Turner inspired dance to "Nutbush City Limits".
I will always love my pick of the post, L-I-B-E-R-T-Y.
Vicki the choreographer/Spanish teacher. We made eyelashes out of black construction paper and put cover up on our lips. I don't know why, I just did what I was told.
(had to include this priceless shot)
Oh Yeah!
Today Marc, Jeff and I had our LAST meal at Little Kitchen. That was a choice.
I'll add a couple more,
Claire, Tori and I had our last day hanging out together, the three of us, as Claire is in Mexico and Tori and Caleb leave on a cross country road trip Wednesday. We finished our college habits strong, with coffee downtown.

these pictures are great...but every time i read your pick of the post, it makes me sad. Namps will miss you. truly.
Awwww Kylee - I almost cried reading this post. I am right there with Katie. I don't want to feel sad that you are leaving Nampa, I want to feel excited that you are coming to KC. Going through 7 moves myself, I completely understand where you are coming from!
Much love!!!
Kristin
oh liberty...gotta love that place. At first, i've got to be honest, I was a bit unsure of it, but looking back and after getting used to it-what a great place to work and go to school. I've missed it. Have you moved yet? How are you doing with it all?
