Well, what can I say? My TPA (teacher performance assessment) is done, I graduate in 24 days, the weather has been gorgous...life is beautiful!! =)


Today I will be teaching my last math lesson, and friday is my last day of observing! I'm acutally kind of sad...I have grown so attached to those little first graders!!

In my last post, I talked about our new patio set! Well, we got it up and it looks so inviting!

My nephew, Travis, is having his first birthday in saturday-I cannot believe it! It seemed like last month that he was born! Crazy!

Oh also, here is a pic of of the trailer that we went in with my brother to get! We cannot wait to use it!

Well, thats about it for now!!

Happy Wednesday!!!!!!!!!

Welcome Summer!!!!!

I am lovin' this warm, sunny, weather! Only 36 days till graduation, then the summer starts! We have many mini weekend vacations planned and im so excited!!

This past week, Joel & Matt have been working in my our backyard prepping for a patio slab. They are pouring the slab this saturday! Well, since we will have a slab, we need patio furniture. We found the cutest set at Target..on SALE! Last night, we were on a mad hunt and called atleast 8 Targets to see if they had our set. We finally found it! Here it is! Summer here we come!! :)

The Results Are In.....

I got my cset scores back and...I PASSED!! Hoooray! I am so excited about it! I had my student teaching interview yesterday and it went really good- So I'm good to go!!! It feel so good knowing that I'm done with all my teaching tests!


Last weekend we did a Family Bonfire at Bolsa Chica, it was a lot of fun! Here are some of my favorite pics!

Hello everyone!

Spring break is gone and I am finally on the home stretch! 54 days till graduation and I am pumped! Spring break was alot of fun, even though I just worked its so nice not to have any
night classes!! This past saturday we were a part of Brad & Jenna's wedding! It was a lot of fun and Jenna was a gorgeous bride (Brad looked handsome too!). I bet now they are sitting on a sandy beach overlooking the clear ocean while im sitting at work, bit I'm not bitter at all! hehe j/k.

This week is busy! Acutally, this whole month is full of things that are due and mini projects!!!! My student teaching porfolio is due today, and I'm teaching my second lesson on Wednesday!!! I find out my CSET scores next monday, then I have the my student teaching interview! Things are crazy!!! Also, next week will be 10 months of me being married!

Happy Wednesday!!!!

I have not posted for a while- Life gets busy! I will post pictures of my couples getaway to Palm Springs soon. We had a great time!!! When I get the pictures uploaded I will post!!!

Observation of my 1st grade class is going really well!! The first day was kind of shaky, but the kids and teacher are great! I have learned many new activities and strategies from Mrs. Holmes! I am teaching my first lesson on "EA" word families on Monday.

On Monday night we had a family dinner and watched my wedding video!! I love family time and sometimes I feel a little disconnected, so these get togethers are always fun!

Here is a pic of my nephews Travis and Carson. (both were eating ice cream!). I accidentally deleted the picture of me and Wyatt. They are growing up SO FAST!!!!!! Wyatt is in Kindergarten at Valley Christian, Carson is going to preschool in the fall, and Travis will be 1 in May! (wow do I feel old!). I have the cutest nephews ever, if I do say so myself!

Have a great week!!!!!'

Monday, Monday...

Why must the weekend go by so fast?? It's Monday and it is to that point in the semester where I am getting super stressed. :(

I start observing today in my 1st grade class at Evergreen Elementary school in Whittier. I'm looking foward to it, but not so much doing the 60 hours! I have TONS of big projects to get done and observation is just another thing to do.

This weekend was really fun though. Joel and I had a date night on friday. We went to dinner, had coldstone and saw Juno (which was reallly cute!). Saturday we saw Dan Noteboom's band play and they were REALLY good. The lead singer, Sara Lindsay, was realllly reallly good! Here is thier website
www.myspace.com/chillvibes but they sound SO much better live! I think I have a new favorite! Joel even enjoyed himself!

I hope this week goes by fast becase we are going to Palm Springs on friday!!! woo hoo!

p.s. WE GOT OUR WEDDING VIDEO TODAY! HOOOORAY-thanks kev!
