Spring Break!!!!!!

Spring break has offically started!!

A week of freedom....which doesn't really mean much to me because I can have a free week anytime with subbing, but having that "Spring Break" title makes it more fun!

I subbed in the same 2/3 combo class these past two days and got to have their spring party with them. Its amazing how kids get soo excited for egg hunts and Easter music! =) They also would rather play heads up seven up then go outside for free play. Kids I tell ya...

Lets see..whats new? Joel and I are FINALLY going to become members at our church which we have been attending all of our lives. What took us so long you ask? I have no idea. The class, The Journey, starts this Thursday and lasts for 8 weeks! It should be a good time! Last night at the Good Friday Service, we read the crucifixion story in Luke and I didn't really recognize some of the details. It really showed me that I need to start reading my Bible more. I was kinda embarrassed. I will get on that this week!

Joel and I are going on a 4 day cruise for our Anniversary in June! I am very excited about it. I love cruise and what better what to spend our anni!? We are also very excited for our 7 day cruise in December with my whole family to celebrate my Grandparents 50th Wedding Anniversary! Woo hoo!

I am very honored and excited to be in 3 weddings this summer. I'm singing in 2 and standing in 1! I love weddings and am excited to be a part of two people committing to each other!

Last but not least...I"M GOING TO BE AN AUNT...again! No no, my sister isn't popping out her 4th...my bro and sasha are not preggo...its VALERIE!!!!!!!! I am soo excited for Val and Todd! Their little bundle of joy will be here in November!! woo hoo!!!!!

Well, thats about it on my side!! Have a great spring break!!

So...whats new??

Well hello! I've kinda been slackin on my blogging lately! Nothing new has happened but I figured I should atleast update!!

I'm still subbing and have been staying very busy (what a blessing in this economy!) As for a REAL job with benefits, its still not looking good! I'm trying to be patient but its hard!

I joined weight watchers again! I lost 1.4 this week! Next week I'm gonna rock it though! :) We are going on a little cruise in June, which is going to be SO FUN, so I need to drop some pounds! I love LA Fitness and I actually enjoy going!

Update on Joelb: He is working hard with his brother doing some side jobs! They are both so talented! I am lucky to have my own handyman around! We have been doing Friday Night Date Nights, which I love! We usually do dinner and a movie! I really enjoy these times we have together!

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!

xxoo

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!
