I've been toying with the idea of creating a blog for quite sometime now. I used to think it was pointless to write about your thoughts and feelings, but as I've grown up, I have come to realize that writing is one of the best ways to express yourself. As a teacher, I believe writing is a very fundamental and important part of each person's life.
So, I'm going to "practice what I preach", so to say.
I love the idea of writing about my amazing life. My life has been incredibly blessed by God in so many ways.
The family he has given me is the most wonderful gift. Supportive, loyal, trusting, honest, loving, comical, endearing...they are the reason why I am who I am today. We always have the best time when we're together. Whether it's sitting around the house reminiscing about my parents' childhoods or having a movie night, there is sure to be laughter and love present. We received a huge blessing at Christmas this past year when my "little" brother, Seth, was able to come home for the first Christmas in four years! It felt so right to have all three kids back together...but that's a story for another time.
I've also been lucky enough to have some of the best friends imaginable. These special people have become like a second family to me and I honestly do not know how I could live without any one of them. They're not afraid to tell me when I'm being absolutely ridiculous about a situation, but at the same time I know they'd go to the ends of the earth for me...just like I would for them!
God has blessed me with an amazing job and the best group of kids and coworkers in the world! It is so exciting to be pumped up to go to work each day. I never imagined in my wildest dreams that I would actually enjoy "working". I don't consider my job, "work," but instead it's a career that God has chosen for me. Teaching has brought me such joy. Even though it's not the easiest job out there, it's the most rewarding. When a child looks at you and says in an excited voice, "I got it!"...well there are no words to describe that feeling. It's like success...only better.
So...onto my true reason for creating this blog...2010 is going to be a year of change for me. I've finally decided to grow up! LOL...Progress has already started and I can't wait for what else God has in store for me this year...
