Well I have really let the blog go! Besides uber random stories that happen every once and awhile, I never think about writing. …Or I do, but I think too much about it. I want it to be this elaborate post that encompasses everything in my life in beautiful words. Well precious…that just isn’t happenin’ at the moment!
Let’s just call a spade a spade and say I’ve been a slacker to the 10th degree! So let me get you caught up! Last semester (cause my years go by school semesters…) was pretty hectic! Besides teaching a new grade level, 2 of my best friends got married!! I was pretty busy there for awhile.Case got married in October and Linds got married in December. Both of the weddings were beautiful and I am so thrilled that they have been able to start such an important part of their lives. I also feel blessed that they allowed me to be apart of it.In the middle of showers, bachelorette parties, dress fittings, and lots of laughter, I also took on a new grade level. At this moment in time…I have taught all 4 grade levels of high school in 3 years! I’m glad to have them all under my belt, but it also caused a little bit of anxiety and frustration. I survived though and made it though. This semester I’m back to the basics and teaching my two loves: World Lit (English II) and American Lit (English III). Classes are either way talkative or not at all. Finding the balance and learning all my new kids is what is currently on the agenda.
I took some time to travel to see all my friends last semester. Trips to Raleigh, Greenville, Winston, and of course Morganton. While in Morganton in September, I got to visit with my cousin Katy and her daughter Stevie. They were home for a week visiting and I adored catching up and seeing them. Even better, now I have Skype and can video chat with them! Ahh technology :)
I’ll end with some pics and a hopeful wish that’ll I’ll keep more in touch with the blog world. I’m absolutely captivated by other people’s blogs and have a whole list! I need to stop reading and write some more...
For whatever reason, I already put my pics of Case's
wedding on a flashkey and took them off my computer :(
So until I get some (and I have about 400) pics, I'll leave you with
a pic from our GG shower! It was a wonderful day with
sweet friends and beautiful scenery :)
Beautiful Linds on her wedding day!
