I'm a slacker basically

So here's the thing. I don't keep up with things like I should. For example, I lose my keys daily. On several instances I have left my phone on top of my car and then drove off with it still on the car (it has survived everytime btw). I also don't keep up with this blog. I really thought when I starte dit that I would keep up with it, make a post at least weekly, keep everyone updated with all of the things happening this year, etc. EPIC FAIL! So here is my attempt to re-start this blog. I'm sure it'll last about a month... or a day. We'll see :)

Ok it's been awhile...

I am a teacher! I did get a job at the last, and I mean last minute! I was hired on a Wednesday night. School started the following Monday. Yeah, that was stressful, but I am very blessed to have the job. I am teaching a 2/3 split class at Plano. I love it. I have great teammembers and a group of wonderful loving kids. They really mke me smile on days when I don't want to (and sometimes make me want to NOT SMILE on other days!). I love my job and, although it is stressful at times, I wouldn't change it. I had a really hard time in the beginning, wondering if I had made the right career choice, but as the year progresses I feel more and more like I'm doing what I need to do.

Also, I just got news from my principal that I am going to be flying with her and two other educators to Texas for a conference! We are going to learn about a new behavioral program to implement in our classrooms and then schoolwide next year. I am very excited about this experience, and excited to get back to Texas... even if it's just for a conference!

School consumes the majority of my life, but I've also got some other pretty big things going on like WEDDING PLANNING! We are going full speed with wedding planning, and I'm getting more and more excited about marrying my best friend! We've booked our honeymoon, we've got the church, an amazing photographer (thanks to Ronnie and Kelly!), and I've got my dress! I've also got hte best support group a bride-to-be could ask for! I can't express how much I appreciate everything everyone has done for us!

As part of the wedding planning, P90X is back and dieting. BLAHHHHHHHH. I don't mind the workouts as much, but I love food! So we'll see how long this last!
