I am alive

Me and the Capitol Building

Washington Monument and me

A lot has happened in the past two months. I had my first trip to D.C. the first weekend in October and I had my second trip just this past weekend!

So my first trip to Washington D.C. was short, but a lot of fun! All day Friday, we walked around D.C. and saw the sights and sounds!
Most exciting moments:
We get to the White House and the uniformed secret service came out and told everyone to go across the street and the sidewalk in front of the White House was going to be closed. So we moved and about 10 minutes later, out comes a motor cad with a black SUV, two limos, and another SUV with armed secret service hanging out the window with guns! I had a great video, but I closed my phone when I saw the guns! It scared me!

My second trip to D.C. was fun as well! We spent a whole day looking for places to live when we move down there. And we found one! :) YEAH! My future place of residence is going to be in Indian Head, Maryland! It is a cute little town and our place is located about 100 yards from the Naval Base and a stones throw away from the Potomac River! I'm really excited and finding a place has really relieved a lot of stress. We found a great townhouse and I'm looking forward to moving there!

Let's see what else have I been up too? Not much really. I've been super busy with school. This week we start our microteaching lessons and have to teach the class a lesson that we would do for our area and grade level. So prayers on Thursday night would be greatly appreciated!

I did teach last week for the first time to my class that I will be student teaching with. I did my lesson on "The Tell-Tale Heart" by Edgar Allen Poe! It went pretty well. Although the thoughts of "Do I really want to do this????" entered my mind! And I have a pile of projects to grade sitting right next to me! Oh the joys of teaching have already begun!

Other than school, not much as been going on, other than the migraines. But a great friend sent me an article about a "migraine diet" that I think I may try. The bummer of it all is that I would have to cut out caffeine, would I be able to survive? And cheese! But I may try it and see what happens!

Well, my homework and grading these projects are calling my name!
