Settling In...

So I've been teaching for about eight months now, and I am finally starting to feel somewhat settled. Sure, there are still moments that I freak out and don't know what I'm doing, but at the end of the day when all is said and done, those moments don't color the way I feel about my job. Which I think is great.

I am starting to look forward to next year instead of dreading it, starting to enjoy getting up and going to work, instead of not wanting to do it (other than the whole waking up at 5 thing, that will never feel good lol). I am very thankful for my friends at work and at church and I'm just enjoying life right now! It's awesome.

I am also very excited to be house-sitting and dog-sitting for a friend of mine right now! Me and Punkin (the dog) are just hangin out, playin with toys, eatin Kix cereal :) So fun!

Finally, I can't wait until tomorrow night at Grace singles group because we've got a joint meeting with other singles groups, and I am helping lead worship! Should be super SHWEET. Yay singing for Jesus!

Well I'm off to play with Punkin some more and write a goals statement for grad school. Oh yeah, you heard me right - the Masters degree begins! Maybe May 4th?? More to come...

Long time...

It's been a long time since my last post!  Sorry about that... It is hard to put into words how busy my last few weeks have been.  And not that it's really any better right now, I guess I"m just getting caught up a bit!  Which is nice :) 

As every day passes, I am realizing more and more that I am truly built to teach Middle School.  It's crazy, I know, but I just love 'em!  So, we'll see how God works that out in the coming years!  In the meantime, I'm trying to let God work through me to be the best high school teacher I can be right now!

God is so good.  He has really blessed me with encouragement in the past few weeks when I have needed it so desperately.  I am so thankful to friends and family for the prayers and to my Lord and Savior for continuing to be AWESOME!!

I don't really have a whole lot else to say.  I've been trying to go to bed earlier, and I want to keep that up tonight too!
