Teacher Week! Meet the Teacher

So…if you’ve been reading this blog for any length of time, you’ve already seen a couple of “Meet the Teacher” posts {here & here}.  You probably have NO desire to read another!  But it’s TEACHER WEEK over at Blog Hoppin’ and I’m not one to miss out on a party, so here we go.

But before I get started, I just have to give a HUGE shout out to Tenille over at The Cutest Blog on the Block.  She’s the creative genius behind my new blog design!  I absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the makeover!!! She worked wonders with this little ol’ blog and I couldn’t be happier!!!  I couldn’t have designed it better if I tried!!!   Thank you, Tenille!!!!! It's perfectly PERFECT!!!!!

Alright….

You already know that I’m a little obsessed with my sweet family.

My two boys…Landon & Grant…will BOTH be in school with me this year.  Landon is going to Kindergarten this year {pass me the Kleenex, please} and my sweet baby boy, Grant,  is going to Pre-K!  Dear Lord, please stop time NOW!

You probably remember that I’m the oldest of four. I LOVE my family like crazy.  For real.

And I met my husband at school.  Where he proposed a year later.  I love this kid like crazy, too.

 

You might remember that we let God lead us to our current home and relocated down south a year ago.  “For we walk by faith, not by sight” ~ 2 Corinthians 5:7  just happens to be my favorite verse. So very, very fitting.

Our search for a “forever home” also landed us on House Hunters last year, too.  Talk about a whirlwind of a year!!!

We added a new family member back in January and rescued the absolute SWEETEST dog ever.  Meet Lloyd…our 6 –year-old pug.  We are in LOVE.  Now if he’d only stop marking every little inch of the house, he’d be *perfect*.  But we didn’t choose the pug life.  Pug life chose us ;)

Speaking of a crazy year, you might remember me talking about moving back down to Kindergarten.  I taught K for 7 years then transferred to a new district to teach 2nd.  After a year there, I moved down to 1st for 2 years.  Now I’m back in K and getting ready to start my 9th year with 5-year-olds!  Crazy to think I started my teaching career 12 years ago!  Doesn’t seem possible.

You might not know that I gave up ALL soda back in February and haven’t had a sip since.  Lemon & mint infused water is my favorite drink of choice with unsweet tea following close behind.   That might not seem like a big deal, but it is.  I no longer get my *surprise* Route 44 Sonic cokes from Mr. Spouse every Friday and that breaks my heart thismuch.

Wanna know more?!  Just click on the “About Me” tab at the top of the page.  In the meantime, you can link up with Blog Hoppin’ this week!  Just check out the “schedule of events” below!  Woo hoo!  It’s that time of year!
