Garden Though it may sound trite, one reason I’m a little sad to be leaving Louisiana so soon is because I’ll have to leave our garden. I’ve never gardened before in my life, but I just dove right in this spring. It gave me something to fill my time and enjoy our summer down here. […]

What’s next?!
I was journaling last night about needing to surrender to this move to NC. To “let go and let god” and trust that everything is going to work out perfectly. (My mind/anxiety has been jam-packed with house and job hunting…) Looking back through my journal, I had the same feelings about the move to LA. […]
Game of Thrones
This show has completely consumed all my free time over the past 8 days. We finished the first season in less than a week and then episodes of the second season magically appeared on Dustin’s computer. (Thank you, internet gods…) If this is what being a Lord of the Rings geek feels like, then I […]
Allen Update
I feel I have an amazing story to tell, but I don’t even know where to begin. I think Dustin put it best the other night when he said, “Baby, we’re fine. The fact that neither of us have had a panic attack or mental breakdown at this point is really quite miraculous. We’re up […]
Teaching Memoir

So yes, this is going to be one of those “
Christmas Break
On our way back to Indiana for Christmas. I have to admit that this has been the hardest semester ever! It’s been the most mentally, physically, and spiritually exhausting four months of my life. This is the first year in a long time where I’m really giving into the “out with the old, in with […]
Teacher Ramblings
So, I’m torn. I was planning on implementing a new positive behavior reward system that included time reserved in class for “free time” like getting on the computer, playing games, and allowing time for fun “centers”. (If you aren’t and educator and don’t understand what I mean by “center”, it is simply a little station […]
Another day in paradise…
I really suck at this blogging thing. I’m not even going to do the whole “starting today, I’m going to start writing more!” declaration, because I know it will probably be another month before I post anything again. 😉 I open up Blogger this evening because I am worn out and just feel like there’s […]
