Anyway, there was this 25 random facts thing on Facebook, so I thought I would post! Enjoy!

Rules: Once you've been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it's because I want to know more about you.

Goodbye January, Hello February!

Wow! January has flown by hasn't it? It seems like the other day was Christmas, and now its almost Valentines day! Crazy.

Well, nothing new is going on in the Bomgaars fam. I have been subbing this past month and it has been great! I actually worked a full week this past week! It was bittersweet because I need work, but I love to sleep in lol. I had High school on Monday, and 1st grade Tues-Friday! I really like first grade, more than I thought! My favorite memory from this week was when I passed out a word search to a first grade class and a little boy said "Wow! I haven't done one of these in YEARS!" I was cracking up. Hes only 6 people! :) I also subbed at Chelsey's school, which was fun!

As for an acutally teaching position in Downey, things are not looking good! :( All I can do is pray and trust that God will take care of me! I may have to branch out and try a private school. We will see.

Ohh, we saw Slumdog Millionaire last night, it was fabulous! I def. recommend it!

Thats about it! Sorry I have nothing exciting to update you on! Hope everyone is doing well!

Hello all!

Christmas has come and gone. 2008 has come and gone and now its 2009!! Its still crazy for me to think about! This past year has gone by so quickly and so many things have happened! My Christmas was great! Its my favorite holiday, not just for the gifts, but a time to be with family and to remember the reason for the season: Jesus, who came to save our lives! Joel and I have been very blessed this year!

This break has been fabulous and I'm ready to get back to "work". As for work, I'm going to be subbing for Downey and Bellflower. How subbing works is that when the district/teacher needs a sub, they will call/request you. Nothing is for sure. It makes me nervous, but luckily I have Joel and we are secure as of right now. I'm praying that something will open for the fall so we can move into the next stages of life! I am so glad to be done with school though. It has been a long 4.5 years at Biola. We will see if I venture back to do my masters!

I'm going to the Brower/Anderson wedding tonight & Courtney and Pat's wedding next Sunday. Speaking of weddings, everyone has been getting engaged lately. Kolbey and Dan, Summer and Nick, Megan and Aaron...the list could go on! I guess the summer of 2009 is going to be the summer of love! :)

I guess thats all the updates! Goodluck to everyone who is going back to school, or is getting back into the normal work schedule! Only a few more weeks until Martin Luther break!

Merry Christmas...almost!

Hello! It's been a while since I've posted, not because I haven't wanted to..only because we are not that exciting, nor do we have a pet or kid to post about! (all in good time!)

I am ALMOST done with student teaching (10 days to be exact, but who's counting?) I cannot believe it is almost over! I will be a credentialed teacher in the beginning of January! Hooray! School will be OVER! Double Hooray! But, I will be jobless which is OK I guess. Something will come up!

We got our Christmas tree last night and are decorating it today! Our house smells so good! I am behind on my shopping, I'm going to hit the malls today and see what I can find!

This will be my last week as a 22 year old! Everyone says I'm still a youngin', but I feel so old.For example: In class yesterday, we were working with the suffix "-ward" and was trying to find words that have -ward that in it. I used the example "Homeward" like "Homeward bound" the movie. The kids had no clue what I was talking about. Please tell me someone else remembers that movie??? Anyway, I felt so old!

Well, have a great Christmas if I don't post before!

November!

I cannot believe its already mid November! Insane!

I am halfway through my second placement! 5th grade has been a ride, that's for sure. The kids are so big and so full of attitude. Of course there are those special few who capture your heart. I cannot wait to be done with schooling and getting into the real world.

Nothing special is really going on. Joel celebrated his 24th birthday on the 5th. I'm excited for Thanksgiving! I love this holiday because it lets me reflect on how blessed we are!

On another note, Taylor Swifts new CD is amazing. This girl can write great songs! She is amazing. I recommend it!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Whoa!

Happy November!

To start out, I must share the drama that went down last weekend! My brother, Sasha, and their friend, were on their way to Dumont for the weekend to go riding. They packed their things into the trailer and their toys on my brothers truck. Before hitting Barstow, the passenger side of his truck started smoking so they pulled over. Below is the outcome; The truck & trailer:




















He lost his truck, two quads, two bikes, his new generator, the trailer (that we parly owned), and everything inside the trailer
:( My poor brother. It has been a hard week for him. He is now dealing with the insurance company.

On another note, I left 3rd grade (boo) and now am teaching 5th! I'm not as thrilled about 5th, but I'm getting used to it! Those little 5th graders are pretty honory let me tell you! I'm taking over math and ELD next week- ek! This semester is going to FLY by though, which makes me happy!

Nothing else is new. Joels bday is on Wednesday so that is exciting! He is going to be 24!

Hope you all have a great weekend!
