a really good reason NOT to post...

This time tomorrow I will be in ARIZONA.  I'll be gone for a few days... but I am sure that I will post when I get back!

fun sub day

3 3 letter words.  A fun sub day.  

1/2 day tomorrow.

Lunch date.

AZ.

Things I am looking forward to after this fun sub day.

two in one...

Two posts in one day!

I had a fabulous great day teaching 6th grade!  They were easy to deal with, we did very little, and I had a blast!  It did semi-reassure me that if I had a choice whether to choose to teach 6th grade or not, I would not pick 6th grade.... a little TOO independent for my liking.  However, if I get offered a 6th grade teaching position, it becomes a whole new story!  I would most definitely teach 6th grade!

On another note... something is brewing in my life... a more eager/confident side in me is coming out.  That's all I am going to say for now.

However, I will say this.  What Wes said in his sermon on Sunday about allowing God do do miracles in our life and let him take control in all aspects... and he does mean ALL.... really spoke to me.  I like to control things and if things aren't going my way... I like to MAKE them have an outcome.  So, I am letting go and letting God.  

Oh, and I am also going to Arizona on Saturday.  Can I get a Hallelujah for some sunshine?

Stellan

Please get down on your knees and pray for baby Stellan.  I remember finding Jennifer's blog last year when she was pregnant with Stellan and praying for his life back then.  Once again, we need to pray for the healing that is going to do the most good and last the longest; whatever that may be.  Praying for MckMama and family.... www.mycharmingkids.net 

excited!... and nervous...

Tomorrow I am teaching a 6th grade class... all on my own... in a building I have never been in... with a staff that I don't know... oh my goodness... 

I am super excited but also super nevous.  

It will be good.

Great.

Here I come :)

It's been a while...

My life has been a crazy series of important events... and blogging has taken the back burner!

1.)  I finished student teaching.  It was, by far, the best and most challenging 7 months of my life.  I left my heart in room 111 with my 26 students and 1 very important mentor.  

2.)  I was offered a long-term sub position!  I will begin working, right NEXT DOOR to 111 in room 110.  I could not be more excited to meet my 25 2nd graders at the door every morning!

3.) I finished up my last class at SPU.  Until I decide to get my Master's, I am DONE with college.  

4.) I started subbing for other teachers.  Slightly scary, because I don't know the kids, the school, the staff... but overall a good experience.  Can't WAIT until I do a high school class. :)

5.)  Had my first experience with being treated poorly because of my age.  It was rude and inconsiderate of a fellow staff member who didn't think that I was 'qualified' to chaperon junior high students.  I'm letting it go...

6.)  I have fallen in love with my new church.  Leaving CKPC was tough, very tough.  But coming to newlife and finding a true passion and fire for Jesus is amazing.  

7.) I am going to ARIZONA!  Spring Break 09 means fulfilling one of my life long goals... MARINER'S SPRING TRAINING.  Oh yes.  Emily and I leave on Saturday and will have a week of glorious warm sunny weather and lots and lots of BASEBALL.

8.)  I have gotten 5 wedding invitations.  Now, don't get me wrong, I LOVE weddings.  I cry all all of them and I love going.  However.... I HATE going alone.  It's like singles awareness notification when you have to check the box '1' for how many guests.  Maybe I can find someone to go with me? :)

9.) My little brother turned 15.  One more year and he can date.  In a few months, he will be driving.  Oh my.

10.)  I have returned to blogging!  Hopefully with this new classroom and less pressure of being a 'student' teacher, I will keep up on it.  I am thinking lots of updates on some of my silly kids.
