WOW!

Well, life sure has been interesting the last month!
1) I Moved
2) I started a part-time job the first day I arrived
3) I get engaged
4) I start a full-time job and commute 2 hours to work each day!

Interesting to say the least! Busy, crazy, fun!

We started some wedding planning. We looked at places in Ann Arbor, MI and found a great place in Plymouth, MI - The Inn at St. Johns. If it didn't cost an arm and a leg, it would be a done deal, but it is really expensive. I vote for eloping, but Matt won't go for it. (I think it would save us a lot of money! and there will be a lot less headaches!) We have some other places in mind, at the end of the month we'll be back in MI and will be visiting them. It is amazing how much cheaper a wedding on Friday than on Saturday! *sigh*

Anyway, I love my new job! I am the Market Manager for Metro DC New Homes Magazine. I love the people I work with, granted they aren't my buds at MDE, but they are very nice and have been welcoming to me!:)

Well, that is all for now!

I'm getting married!:)

Yup! It's official! I'm engaged to be married to the greatest man on earth!:) I couldn't be happier! The picture is of me on the phone with my mom sharing the exciting news!:)

Where am I?

Well, I have been in Indian Head, Maryland for a week now! So far, so good. Except it has been raining for about 4 days start now! UGH! I'm starting to go bonkers!
I am although a guitar hero junkie! And it is my turn!
More later!

Spring has Sprung!:)

Well, I have survived student teaching and am coming up on the home stretch! Tomorrow is my last day of teaching! Yeah! I thought I'd be sad, but I am not! The kids have gotten a little out of hand since we have gotten back from Spring Break!

Only 26 more days and I will be moving! I'm not excited, whatsoever. Yeah right. I can't wait!

Not much else is new. But as soon as something exciting happens, I will put up a post!:)

SNOW DAY!

Well, today is ANOTHER snow day! Katie and I have lost count as to how many we have had since January...it has been A LOT! Due to the amount of snow days, the students are so far behind. We should be done with our papers in writing and should have started Anne Frank on Monday! But due to the snow day last week and this week and all the other weeks, we need to get to work! I thought I'd never complain about a snow day...well I'm not...but I kind of am!:)

Back to my resume!:)

MIA...

Yes, I have been MIA and about to go back into hiding.
Student teaching has had it's ups and down since my last post, but only 47 more days!
Hopefully it will get better, I think it has been challenging since I've taken on all 6 classes! I don't know how these teachers do it!:)
Ok, that is it for now! I"ll probably post again when I'm done! j/k

Week 3 is coming to a close...

Today was my first observation from my supervisor from Siena and it went pretty well! Granted I was totally freaking out and it didn't help that my 1st and 2nd hour classes did not cooperate! And they normally do, and they were my trial run for my lesson. So that did not help the situation! But, the class that I was being observe in was actually good...even though they are my most challenging class! (It did help that one of the wise guys in my class was absent today!)
But yeah, my 4th hour were great during class discussion and really interested and talked and asked great questions! And then I did a little mock ceremony from the book we are reading and the feed back that I got from the kids after class were really positive and the other teachers were saying that they'd come into their class talking about it! So that made me feel great! And I got almost all 3's and some 2's...4 is the highest score, so I'm pleased with how my teacher rated me!:)
Big sigh of relief! :)

And yes, I do really miss all my friends at MDE! I will have to make my way up there for a visit!
