I DID IT!!! My last day of Student Teaching was today. It was bitter sweet for me. I have grown to love the kids, but at the same time I am ready to be finished. I have had so much fun during this past year. I really liked my last mentor teacher. She is the one that I can give all of my credit to for all I have learned about being in the classroom. I had her as a mentor teacher last semester as well. I have seen improvement in myself from when I taught my first lesson last semester in her classroom to teaching the last lesson yesterday. I love teaching and having fun with them. Yesterday I made the kids laugh and I had to laugh with them because it was funny. I talked to inanimate cubes. A long story, but I got my point across on fractions and mixed numbers!!! Most of them got 100s on their homework last night and that makes me happy that they understood the lesson that I gave even though I looked like a complete idiot! LOL. College has been one of the best times of school for me. I have enjoyed every minute of it. I am going to be taking a break from school for a few years, but don't be surprised if you find that I have gone back for a master's degree. I need a break right now though.

BY the way... I am having a graduation party/ going away party on Friday the 12th of December. If you are in the area and have nothing to do come and say by to us! It is at Valerie Sauter's home in McKinney. The address is:

4104 Carmel Mountain Dr, McKinney, TX 75070

It is an Open House and it starts at 4:30 pm.

We would love to see all of you come and see us off!!!

Pathetic

I know! I am so pathetic. I have not had a moment to blog in FOREVER! I have been checking on all my fellow bloggers, but have not taken the time to blog. We moved last Friday! Thanks to all that came to help. As the men were loading the truck I couldn't help but think how blessed we have been to have such good friends! I am going to miss the Frisco area! We got everything out of our house on Friday (the day after Thanksgiving.)
I took a well deserved Saturday off and relaxed in the morning. I went to lunch with the sister missionaries, who I love and admire so much. They make me wish that I had gone on a mission and not gotten married so early. Although who can resist having such a beautiful family! I know that I wasn't meant to go on a mission. Maybe that it is why I appreciate them so much!!! We went to a birthday party in the afternoon and came home and relaxed some more.
On Sunday I went to the house to clean. I know I broke the Sabbath. I figure the Lord knows my heart and how much I have to do before we leave this area. As I was finishing up so that I could get home to go to church with my parents, Elyse came to me and said that she was really cold. When I went to hug her she was burning up! She ran a fever all day yesterday and through the night. I took her to the doctor after school today for there to be nothing wrong with her. DON'T YOU HATE THAT??? There was nothing they could do for her. Maybe it was my imagination that she was sick. At least that's how they made me feel.
I also want to give a big Thank You to those of you who helped me pack and clean! It really does mean a lot that so many people came to my rescue.
