This week has been crazy! But it is going to slow down after we have our huge 4th of July celebration at work...I have to work 12 hr that day but I get time an a half so its ok..anyways Yesterday I took my PPR test and I passed!!!! That was the last test I had to pass to be an official teacher! I didn't have to take it before I started being a teacher but I went ahead and got it over with! So YAY!! Just one and a half more months and I get to start teaching!!

Oh yeah I forgot to tell everybody it is official! I signed my contract last week!! Look what they gave me! Woot!

What's up

Hello All! I thought it was about time to log in and let you all know everything that is going on! First of all most excellent news...I AM A TEACHER!!! That's right Only 1 year and 6 months after committing myself to teaching I got a job! Not only A job but THE job. I am an 8th grade English teacher for Wylie's Burnett Jr. High. Just goes to show that when you fully give something up to God and trust in him it will be perfect! I start that job on the 27th of August. In the meantime my summer job is AWESOME!! I am a marketing assistant for a beautiful mall. It is an outside mall you know the kind you go in a store an then go back outside in the sun to get to the next store. They have a nice little park and a big fountain and everything. At the moment we are planning a HUGE 4th of July party. I am doing things like ordering chairs, making signs, I am fully in charge of the Food Court, setting up fun things for the kids like bounce houses, face painting, balloon making and more. Everyday I am here at work they tell me how awesome I am at my Job! They even tried to talk me out of teaching..HAH. And everyday that I am not here they call me in because they want my help! Next week I will be going to teacher classes in the mornings, new hire orientation/classroom management I am very excited about these I am going to get to meet 20 other teachers that are new to Wylie. I am hoping to start teaching a Sunday School class soon also! It is going to be called the 20 someones and will be at Wylie First Baptist church if you want to come! More details to come on that one. My sister Trish just bought a house!!! It is very cute! My other Sister Jennifer and her beautiful family are all going to Estonia in July for 3 months so I will be sure to keep this updated for them especially! If you haven't seen the movie Pursuit of Happiness you should it is an awesome movie...just FYI. OK that is all for now!

Long time no talk

OK I am back again. The school year is coming close to an end and I have been very busy with working and job searching a lot. I have a very promising interview with the principal at the school that I have been working with a lot this year. He said it will either be next week or the week of memorial day! I had an interview on Monday with a Plano school. I think I did well but it is not my ideal place to work. When the interviewers said..."we don't want to ask you those cheesy questions about teaching philosophy, discipline in a classroom, or anything else related to teaching," I knew this was going to be interesting. The biggest question they asked was about what I do in my free time...Then they explained to me how they do not stay late, or put any extra effort into what they teach. I know that is not the place for me. Lets hope that I get the job I know is right for me. Had a great weekend with my family I went to Graham and relaxed and went to the Wild Catter...mmmm...then we went to down town Ft. Worth and ate some Mexican food, at a great place Trish picked out, on Mother's Day. It was awesome. Anyways keep my interview in your prayers I will be reporting hopefully sooner than later!

Well this weekend I went to the Plano ISD Job fair. I think it went really well! I don't have any interviews yet but I for see some in the next few weeks. One principal told me after talking to me that I am going to make a wonderful teacher! I wrote my follow up letters and e-mailed them out today. I can't wait to see the feedback I get in the next few days! We started back to school today after a wonderful spring break. Things are still going awesome there. I think my kids are starting to get more motivated everyday! Well that is all for today here are some pictures from the arboretum that I took.

What's Up

Today is going to be a beautiful day! Marsha, Michelle, (Marsha's Sister) Eliana, Ethan and I are heading to the Arboretum! If you are wondering why I am not at work...it is SPRING BREAK! I think we picked the best day of the week to go out and see the beautiful flowers of the Dallas Blooms! Look back later for pictures!
