No social media

Since Tuesday, I have not been on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter or Snapchat AND I AM ALIVE! It really has not been that bad, but I have been texting a lot more of my friends :))).
Yesterday, my new Michael Kors watch came in. I received gift cards for Christmas, and that is what I decided to buy. I have no regrets because it is beautiful! Silver Silver! :)
Anyway... back to fb madness. My friends and family looked at me like I was crazy... as in... Can you really do this? Well I have done it. I am kind of missing posting so many photos. When I am at Jennifer's birthday (a friend that lives in CS that I have not seen in FOREVER) I will probably regret no picture posting because we will be reunited! I will just have to blog about our fun birthday dinner and drinks! Well I have to go teach so TGIF! Happy weekend :)

School

School is like HALF way over for the year. That is very frightening since I need more time with some of these children. God will have to protect their minds.. and mine when the STAAR comes. I have so many lovable kids this year that I would seriously adopt. Some of them talk to me like an older sibling to confide in :). I am so thankful for that. These students I have this year really put a smile on my face, and I have like zero (mostly) behavior issues.

Impromptu post

Just adding this (wrote this yesterday) to the following post... I was really focused on buying a house and then reality hit that it would be awesome to SAVE money and buy a dream type house for my first home. These are the things that were in my mind while writing this .... not like having BAYBAYs! haha

This evening I'm feeling like I want to "jump the gun". When you're in a race, you always wait for the gun shot. I am just wanting to push! push! on! I'm so happy in life... great job and an even greater support system, but I feel unsettled- if that's the right word. 23 (and a half) is such a weird age. I know I'll look back and freak out at these amazing times. I feel like I need to not be such a doubting Thomas. I'm going to pray that prayer right now. Gimme 5.

Okay... Proceeding. I'm tired of waiting and wishing. God has it all in control all the time AND I need to practice what I preach. I'm done.

My new beau is so sweet and caring, and sometimes all I do is wonder what he's thinking. Let me just say.. That ain't gonna happen sister! To myself.

The male species is a wonder. I'm about 5% sure the guy will read this, so it's okay. Shout out to you babe if you do! You know the girl you're dating is a thinker. Sometimes all my mind does is think and wonder... Even while teaching. Is that bad?

In the past few years, I thought about what it would be like to graduate college, if I would be a teacher, what grade I would teacher if I graduated, how old I would be when I got married, would my husband be like my ex boyfriend and belittle me (when I say that I'm taking some of the blame too. I went back. I put myself in the position. I needed that mistake to make me a better, well rounded person and to push me to find the "right" guy for me), would I have kids, would I like little ME's  lol just to name a few of the thoughts I had.

Well fast forward and a lot of those questions have not been filled. I'm like whattttt? Greatness! How would that feel to actually have all answered. Thank The Lord, they're still questions and I can explore a little longer. Even writing that sentence I just had a thought. Do I really feel that way?

Where should I explore?

I think a lot of this was.... I lost my train of thought going from phone to iPad. Great! I hate when that happens in the middle of a great thought. When you don't have a ton you have to make it work! Anywho! I've been seeing people getting engaged and like my friends say, "I'm always at a wedding", so it's just weird wanting that and not wanting it all at the same time. I'm happy to be a young woman in a world that says (usually) that women can do as much as men.

Where did that come from? This was a kind of poor me-- privileged white girl and it's a Monday and now it's girl power. Welcome to my mind.

TTYL,

Full Swing

Well school has come again! It is going to be the 6th week of school next week. TIME FLIES.. seriously. I have about 65 students spread out over 3 classes, and I'm really loving it. Each student is already dear to me, and (proud moment) I knew everyone's name around the 3rd day of school. The students have given me nothing major to complain about because this year I have some amazing children. I hope they are in for the long ride to the STAAR! We got this :)

Thanks,

Labor Day weekend

I think I could live at the bay. I love going out on the water in the boats and everything else. I'm having such a wonderful time in Port Alto. I'm so glad the boy asked me to come. I had some gorgeous sunburned places and battle scars on my feet from getting in the water at shell beach. Whoohoo

I never want to LEAVE :). 

Thanks,

Lobster face :) 

Niece is a professional model

Today, my sister needed a test subject so that she could test out changing the aperture (??) on her camera.  While we were taking a few shots, someone got jealous and had to jump in.  LOVE IT!  So I ended up getting bunch of new pics of me and the niece.  **Keep in mind that we had no idea we were going to do this--We did not dress up! Don't judge!

Enjoy!

Thanks,

Classroom

Well my classroom is coming along! I'm very excited about that! 

My sister and I are using extra desks in the middle of the desks so make a supply areas. I like the thought of the students being a community of leathers and having to work together. I'm ready for the school year... Almost!!!

Thanks,
