We have this poem displayed in our bathroom down in Louisiana. I cannot tell you how much of a comfort it is to me. I read it every single day while I’m in the bathroom getting ready, and now I have almost the whole thing memorized. It is my favorite. It seems like it speaks […]

All Day Teacher Training = A Welcomed Break
I found out last night that I would be in teacher training all day today which, to be honest, was like the hallelujah chorus to my ears. The past week has been rough, so a day spent away from my students was a welcomed break. I felt bad for that sub, though… The day was […]
I Got a Job!!! :)
I finally have a minute to sit down and talk about my new job! To get everyone up to date, I started Monday as a 7th grade English teacher at Carroll Junior High (an inner-city, all black school) in Monroe. This school got a 69.2 (out of 120) on their school report card and is […]
More Photos of Our Fun Satuday!
So I got on Dustin’s phone and found some more pictures I’d like to share. I was excited that he got a good one of this guy: I didn’t get a good shot of the emu, so I’m glad he did. I love emus…such odd little birds. Pretty shot of the river-walk. Dustin uses the […]
Exploring Downtown Monroe and Ark-La-Miss Fair and Livestock Show
Dustin and I had a fun day today. We decided to go explore downtown and walk along the river. Downtown wasn’t as exciting I was hoping it to be, unless we were just in the wrong area or something. The riverwalk was super pretty, though! I remembered to take lots of pictures today! There’s this […]

We have two potential contracts that should be finalized by next week, so that’s exciting. One is the guy whose proposal Dustin did all my himself, so of course that’s a nice confidence […]
Nice weekend home…now back to work!
Worky Worky Work
Dustin drove a total of ten hours yesterday…talk about a fun workday. 😉 One of their installs is having some equipment issues, so he had to go out to the site (which is an hour and a half away) and fix some things, and then when he got home, he found out there was something […]
New Beginnings…So, of course, we need a new blog. ;)
So, I decided to start a new blog completely devoted to documenting our adventure down in West Monroe. I’m going to try to give updates a few times a week, even if they are a paragraph long saying, “Yes, we’re still doing good” and “No, we haven’t killed each other yet.” 😉 The past week […]
Reasons Why the English Language is Hard to Learn
Got this in my literacy class…thought it was hilarious and so true… The bandage was wound around the wound. The farm was used to produce produce. The dump was so full that it had to refuse more refuse. We must polish the Polish furniture. He could lead if he would get the lead out. The […]
