OK, so I have finally decided to try this "blogging" thing. I have seen SO many great ideas on blogs my past 4 years of teaching, and I figured it's time to get my own "space" to house great ideas, write down those little "gems" you generally hear when you teach five-year-olds, and... well, whatever else comes to me!
I'm still SUPER new at this, so bear with me these first few months. That's why I decided to start during the summer--so I could have plenty of time to "play", since that's how I learn. :)
I'll be starting a NEW chapter this year! I am leaving my teaching job in Haslet (I've been there the last 4 years!) and moving East to Trophy Club so I can be closer to my new home and kinda-new hubby! (We were married 11 months ago today!) I would love to be setting up my classroom already and envisioning my next-year classroom (Yes, I'm a dork!), but my new school is undergoing huge renovations this summer and we may not be able to get in until right before school starts... yikes!
So, for now I just have to sit back and relax, which is really hard for me to do. Luckily we just moved into our first house and let's just say it's a bit of a fixer-upper. ;) I've been keeping myself busy with projects and organizing (my favorite!). We're just chipping away a little at a time. Being a first-time homeowner really has it's adventures. I went into the kitchen yesterday to find a nice-sized pool of water in the kitchen... lovely. I always try to keep my phone nearby in case we need to google something... or call dad... :)
We're kind of at a stand-still right now though until we get a little more money saved up. Who knew everything cost so much? It's going to be a while before we grow-into this big house. But, we're having fun and of course I love "pretending" to be the little stay-at-home wifey during the summer! My hubby does too because the house is immaculate, I have time to cook big yummy meals, and I'm always in a great mood! :)
That about wraps things up for my first post. I've got a sweet hubby coming home soon and I know he'll be wanting to celebrate the weekend! :)
