My Fall activities: 2 Bible Studies, Backpack Buddies, Junior Service League, Gifted Classes, and several curriculum leadership things at school. Add in a few showers, weddings, 5K walks, football games, family visits, and being sick, and there you have it. I can't even find time for Bunco! Who would've ever thought? I am always running around I feel like! BUT, I do it to myself. :) And I really do love staying busy!
Ok, I have a reader that comes and reads to my class once a week. She is in my JSL class, and I LOVE her. I am just so thankful that she volunteers her time in my classroom. It makes me want to cry when she's reading...EMOTIONAL!!! :)
I sort of really like my gifted class and can't believe that I'm almost finished with the first class. I thought I would hate it, and it is a lot of work, but it is growing on me. Last night was filled with interruptions...but it made for a funny night. The high school band was practicing up and down the wings of the board office and then we had the biggest thunderstorm that we've had in awhile. I also laughed a lot with one of my favorite grad girls, Betsy. I guess I just like learning about education?
I worked with my Student Teaching mentor teacher today on mapping out writing curriculum. It brought back so many good memories of being a newlywed and starting my teaching career. My principal, mentor, and I were talking and we couldn't believe that it was almost 6 years ago! Sometimes I stilll can't believe that I'm working right along side and am good friends with some of the people that I looked up to so much! My how time flies.
My Bible Study on Wednesday nights is for ladies around my age. Well the ages range from late twenties to late thirties I think. It started out being just me and 3 girls from my Sunday School and then we each invited someone else. Well, I have actually invited 5 people. They are all planning on coming too. So, there will end up being about 11 of us. I love it so far! I will post more about it soon. My friend, Beth, has such a knack for applying what we are reading to our lives. There are a few ladies that I know, but not really well, and I'm excited to get to know them. I really want it to be a time where we can share our hearts and troubles, and be brutally honest and open about dreams, failures, etc.
And the biggest news lately, we have cable again...not 100% sure if we want to keep it. It was nice saving that 60 something dollars a month. Surprisingly, we also got used to not having it. It felt so weird to turn it on...we didn't remember which channels were which. Matt put it on a channel that I like, but I immediately turned it off, it sort of bothered me being on. I am excited about football though. And about Rachel Zoe, HGTV, Country Music Videos, and The Real Housewives...I think! If I can find time.
Matt and I have been sucked into LOST on Netflix. We like it (don't love it), but are kind of scared of it. It is creepy, but interesting. We still miss the favorite show of our lives, Friday Night Lights.
I am so excited that it is FRIDAY! My parents, brother, Ginger, and Poppy Bill are coming to visit tomorrow. I LOVE my family and the weekends!!!!
