I'm Back!!!

After quite a long spell, I am back. Not that very many of you missed me since it's mostly Rhonda's friends who read this blog, but I feel obligated to update everyone on my life anyway.

I have been away Student Teaching. Can I tell you it was one of the most wonderful experiences of my life! I was at Johnson Elementary, with Judy Sloan, in first grade. Judy was a student teacher's dream, she was so easy to work with, and we got along really well. Johnson is a really good school, the staff work really well together, and they really care about the students. I liked this place so much I told my sister she should move into Judy's house so my niece could go to that school, and she did (although it wasn't because I told her to).

I am just about finished with the semester, and then I graduate. How exciting is that?!?!?! This is something I've been waiting a long time for. To celebrate I bought myself a new camera because my other one was ancient and very temperamental.

Okay enough of that, let's get to the pictures:

This is me one year ago this very day:
(when I finished preschool student teaching)


Twenty-four pounds later, after much slave labor and hard work (and, might I add, not having time to eat):




Here is what I look like today: (I took this picture with my new camera)

I've got 6 pounds to lose to be the same I was when I graduated from high school.

We had a wonderful home evening tonight given by Marcie. Usually Brad, Rhonda, and I sit on the other couch, but we happened to be on this couch and didn't want to move. Anna and Marcie couldn't accept the fact that we took over so they joined us. We had a very warm, snuggly time as you can see.

Happy Blogging my friends!
