Fall 2009* SHEESH!

Working woman! That is what I am now. What a busy, busy fall I have had. It's no wonder I forgot that I even was a "blogger." OKay, so maybe I can't classify myself as a true blogger because that would be unfair to the real die hard ones. I can consider myself an avid facebooker though. Low point.

My busy life all began during the last week of August when I found out that I got a teaching job at Swegle- 3rd grade. I did spend every waking moment there for the first few weeks... but then, lets be real: I received my first paycheck AND football season began. I knew that I needed a life outside of room 18. Don't get me wrong- I spend plenty of time in that classroom, AND I love every second (okay... not everrrry) but most seconds spent in there. My life began completely frustrating as a teacher, and now has calmed down to the point where I enjoy the quirkiness my students bring in. Highlights (errr lowlights?) so far this year: being mistaken for a high school aide, 2 students so far peeing their pants in class, meeting the two greatest fellow third grade teachers ever, learning how to "do the jerk," gifts from students daily (primarily drawings, half eaten foods and apples from their lunches,) Jamie volunteering, Fernando - absolutely hilariousssss, receiving dating advice from my students and of course gossip sessions with Emily and Christina. Needless to say, I love my job.

Other updates. How bout them BEAVS?! I love this football season. Not gonna lie- started out rocky and I was slightly nervous. 2 days from now, we are hopefully RB bound. However, I don't want to jinx anything, so I am trying to keep it cool.

I've gotten to take some rad trips this fall so far:) I went to Arizona in October then in November I got to go to Berkeley and Vegas. Yes, Southwestair.com LOVES me.


Baby Molls is getting married in exactly 2o days. I can't believe that the day has come for my baby sister to walk down the aisle. I couldn't be more thrilled for her and Brad. I can't wait for her special day and for the opportunity to be MOH. Oh gosh- better start writing my speech. (Don't worry, I have been googling this and trying to get out of it since I first found out!)

That is pretty much it. Ohhh wait. How could I forget? Probably the highlight of all of this has been that since the time I wrote- my dearest wifey Jamie became single. This has changed my life immensely. All that I have to say is... "She's baaaaaack"
