Hi friends,
Lately I have been feeling the urge to start blogging again. I have missed documenting certain aspects of my life. For instance, I put to rest my all time favorite black flats the other day. I have had them for years and literally the sole of the shoe was sliding through a hole in the back. They were my first pair of shoes that I absolutely loved and were my "go-to" shoes with any outfit. Girls would always compliment them. Ahh...I am going to miss those shoes. Those shoes needed some recognition before being thrown in the trash! I miss sharing recipes and books that I have been trying. Some things just need to be shared! Also, I enjoy having pictures and posts about our life here on the Island. I know I will look back and enjoy them.
So...here I go again. I can't promise regular posts but I will try. :)
To catch you up here are the highlights over the last 6 months of our life:
- Started teaching kindergarten. There could be several posts on my thoughts, experiences, and feelings of my 1st year teaching. I am learning to love teaching and I am learning a lot about myself in the process. It has been a growing experience in many aspects.
-Chad is still on his rotations. Each new rotation brings a set of challenges and successes. He takes his boards this November...scary and exciting!
-I have started running. I have really enjoyed it. My friend and I try to run Monday-Thursday 1.5-3 miles. We were finally running 3 miles and then Christmas happened.
-We got a new T.V. and its awesome. Enough said.
-We have found a church home that we love. It is here on the Island. Through church, we have joined a small group and met some wonderful people. Let me tell you it is a great feeling to be a part of a community of believers again. So thankful for our new church home and new friends.
-I have started a book sharing club. Instead of reading a book a month, we share books each month that we have read. Be prepared to be bombarded with book recommendations.
-I got a Kindle for Christmas and love it! I am now addicted to Words with Friends, Scramble, and Temple Run. Feel free to ask me to play.
-Chad went through a bout of depression with the hockey lock-out but now he is happy again, watching hockey games weekly.
-Chad and I have started Financial Peace with Dave Ramsey. We are now penny saving budget monsters. Debt free in 2013 (totally not going to happen but we will debt free...one dayyyyy)
So that's the highlights. Here's to more blogging! I know you have missed the stories about us and our adventure on the Island ;)
