Have you seen "The Princess and the Frog?"Fun movie! Katie said it was boring! so, I was in and out of the movie w/her. : 0

Next week Ryan has auditions for Eastman and All-state. I am nervous for him. The next week, Bill is taking Jonathan up to Boston for auditions at Berklee. Wow! My long haired musician sons!

My Blog

I am really going to try to keep up with blogging this year. it was so fun in the past. I met so many different people and grew to love them. So today is perfect. the day after Christmas and one day before my birthday! I thought i was 47 last year but was really 46, so can I be 46 this year???

With 2010 right up on us I am looking forward to the newness of the year. I am thinking of some goals like:
This year I am going to try to keep believing even when it is hard.
I am going to try to get down to 120 pounds. LOL
I am hoping the goal before this one will NOT be a goal next year!

Take care!

True Story

Tuesday night, I am sitting at a meeting next to an older gentleman that I just met. He asks me if I am from Columbia. I told him that I have been here for about 27 years, so it seems like I am. He then said

"You're older than 27?"


ROFL!!!!

okay, then Ryan is presented with an award and goes up to the head of the table, This same very kind (but maybe a tad out of it) asks me

"Is that your husband?"

True story. : )

Time for new pics

Ryan is holding Katie. Lindsey looks scared! My sweet babies. Love them!
Ryan is losing weight and sleeping alot. Bill is taking him to the doctor on Monday.I am trying not to worry. but...

March 7,2009

The day my life changed...

really, it was my first substitute teacher position.

to say i was scared... how about frozen w/fear???

but i just stepped out and God caught me...

my first job was the big dreaded HIGH SCHOOL... the bad one... in our district... gangs,,,drugs.kids bigger than me

I was simply AMAZED!!! I LOVED IT!!! being in that atmosphere... talking to the students. I love them.

it's weird, you see all of these scary looking kids while waiting in the car line and I thought.. "no way could I be a sub...or a high school teacher..".

in the classroom...it's different. I see them as individuals ... not scary

compassion,passion, joy... excitement!!!!

so, i am pursuing teaching in high school... social studies. i start my classes in 2 weeks.

I am so glad that nursing didn't work out. am i flaky???

sort-of,

I know. lol
