WOW!!! It has been forever since I entered in my last post. The reason: I am a working woman now. I say that with partial enthusiasm because my heart is at home with my princesses, but I am so grateful to have a great job with GREAT benefits.
So in case you are not part of the Snowflake rumor chain and haven't heard; I am the (not so) new English teacher at Snowflake High School. I can say that I survived my first semester, and I think I did OK. I mean the kids seemed to have learned something! HA! This next semester I hope to thrive. Its going to be crazy because I am going to be going back to school as well. I have some really great co-workers and I love being back with a lot of my old teachers - I appreciate them so much more now!! In addition to teaching English I am FINALLY back to teaching dance. I teach hip-hop to a great bunch of young girls at Raising the Barre in Snowflake. Its more hours but is so worth it. Besides, dancing is like vacation. Now we'll see if I will be saying that come recital time!!
Rolland is doing great and is enjoying being a stay-at-home Dad for awhile. He says its harder than he thought - uh...yeah!!!! I have been telling him that. But his break is soon over and he will be taking 18 credits this semester. Mostly online and in the evening, so the girls will see him, but I will not. :(
The girls both started preschool this year and I am so excited to announce that Aubrey is reading and writing!! And in true Aubrey fashion she went from simple words like "Cat", "Sat", "It" to more important words like "nail polish". Hilarious!! Rebekah loves school as well and is still her ........unique self. But she is officially a "Big Girl" and is potty trained. Which is great because I seriously thought I was going to lose my mind!!
We are so blessed! This year has brought about so many changes and new ways of life. We miss our friends in Virginia and New York TERRIBLY. No I really mean TERRRRRRRIBBLLY!!! These families were OUR family and I am really grieving their absence. However, we are close to our family and that is priceless. I love that the kids are able to rwally get to know all their family on both sides. I guess I just have to keep working to afford plane fare to get to everyone I love!!
My New Year's Resolution is to blog at least once a month so hopefully I stick to it. Enjoy some picture from the last 6 months though! HA!!!
