Wait, I have a blog? Hi! Long time no write, huh? Well, let me fill you in on the joys of my life. I have been married now for almost 7 months, and loving every minute. Two of my best friends just got married this last weekend, Coop and Tiff and it is a strange feeling. My other bestie Kim is pregnant and about to be a mother, my friends lawson and laura are happy parents now, and I just spent a weekend catching up with the rest of my friends who are now married, pregnant, or parents and it makes me wonder, "When did I grow up?" All of a sudden, I am married, with a real job ( and real bills) and all of the people around me are in the same position. Growing up is a strange thing.

Kendall met me at CBU yesterday before my student teaching seminar. We were sitting in Wanda's and I was pointing out my "friends" I have made in my graduate program at CBU. His remark was, "they're old!" Unfortunately, they are only a few years my senior!

Next week is my last week of teaching the fifth grade (maybe ever, though I hope not). It is bitter sweet really. For those of you who don't know, this year has been an interesting growing experience for me. I have the crazy class, but I absolutely love them. It will be very sad to say goodbye to my first class...Oh the stories I could tell...maybe next blog. Anyways, I will be moving up to Junior high next year (i'll fit right in), teaching English, Creative Writing, and Speech and Debate. I could not be more excited for a change in leadership and I really respect my new Principal. As of now, Kendall and I will be staying in Riverside another year. I am really glad though. We just have come to the point where we are figuring out how to balance full time teaching jobs, my CBU work, being married and having friends still. The friends part has been refreshing. I love my girls. Anyways, hey, I updated my blog!! Call out the press!! I'm alive still! Maybe this can become a habit! Until next time...
