Testing Week

This week is testing week at school and while I love my students two days of 3 hours with 1st period is too much. We have testing next week too so I'm hoping that we can switch it up a bit. I did enjoy having 5 kids in my second period today small classes are pretty awesome!

When I get stressed I stop sleeping.

I've stopped sleeping!

Watching my students take a three hour test is BORING

Does that make me an unsupportive teacher?

In less than five days I will be living with the love of my life

I never thought I'd get engaged/married before the age of 31

I have NO clue what I want at our wedding other than a kick arse band

I think family is one of the most important things in life, but am slowly starting to rethink which family members deserve that title

I have an insane number of bridesmaids and the dress I want is 300

OOPS

Glee still makes me happy

I am the messiest, organized person I've ever met. I color code my closet but hate putting clothes away.

I love reading but haven't had the time lately to read what I want

i constantly overbook myself

I still hate capital letters and it bothers my students

I hate the word ain't

I filled out my paperwork today to become certified in Oklahoma (instead of having a temp. teaching certificate)

I have no clue what I want to do this summer, and I think I am going to enjoy that for two days.

I am excited/nervous to move in with David

I have some of the most amazing friends a girl could ask for

I also have some of the worst friends ever

I love being able to call/text certain friends and they be able to calm me down, squash my fears, make me laugh, all of the above because they know me so well

I love being Aunt Jen

Happy Thoughts!

I managed to pass my Residency Teacher Year, which means I will get a certificate instead of a provisional one. woot woot!

I am hopefully fingers crossed getting my job back next year!

David and I are moving in together in one week!

Those Oklahoma Sooner boys represented in the draft last night! (Three of the top five!)

Oklahoma Thunder represented last too against the Lakers.

I'm slowly getting caught up on my laundry.

I survived my first Junior League event and enjoyed it.

I am going to dinner tonight in Norman with college friends.

It's Friday!

Confessions part 1

Glee makes me smile!

I wish I could sing, I've always wanted to be on Broadway but have NEVER been a singer or an actor.

I don't usually hold grudges but I finally let go of one after six years and it feels good.

The grudge didn't mean anything important but it still feels good to let it go.

I love Tucker (my puppy) but sometimes I wonder if he'd be better with another family.

I am super flaky and I hate that!

I haven't been sleeping well lately and I don't know why.

I am getting nervous about whether or not I'll actually have a job next year.

I love my job and think that I'm a pretty good teacher.

I wish there was a real easy button so I could push it and have my apartment packed and ready to go.

I worry about money quite frequently.

I worry about quite a few things.

I miss my grandmother so much even though I know she's in a much better place but I wish she had gotten to meet David.

I wish everyone got along but I know that will never happen.

I love being a nerd but sometimes wonder people really think of me.

I wanted to correct a random strangers grammar but I still stink at it myself so I didn't.

I don't have a bucket list.

I don't believe in regrets or what if's.

I never thought I'd get married before 32.

I can't wait to move in with Daibid but am scared about sharing a place with a boy.

I hate outside smell!

we got it!

well the duplex is ours, which means packing boxes here I come!!!

i have a valid reason for being mia i swear!

last week I was informed that there is a chance I might not get my job next year! I LOVE my job so this news depressed me greatly and I have been in "hiding" since. That same day my cousin sent me a link listing a job at a school I have been trying to teach at for quite some time, and today I got a call back. I am very torn as I love my job more than anything but I know that everything in life happens for a reason so I am going to keep hoping, wishing, and praying.

I also had some not so fun issues come up and I have been trying to figure out what to do not to mention wedding planning. OMG people this is difficult when you have NO clue what you are doing. I have helped more friends and now I can't even help myself. oops! :)

Fancy and I went to look at a duplex tonight in the area of town we want to live in. It's super duper cute and let's hope we get it! I will know Thursday. Keep those fingers crossed. While you're at it, keep them crossed because tomorrow I have an observation from my professor for my residency teacher committee and last time she freaking walked out. oy!

new rants and raves...

i am an english teacher who dislikes grammar!

i love my puppy but in the morning when he is trying to lick the lotion off my legs want him to go away

i am overwhelmed by the wedding planning and everyone's thoughts on what i should do

i feel like i'm missing something from my wedding party, guest list, etc.

i think it's rude to be loud when you live in an apartment complex after 10 pm

i love my job and don't want to lose it

i hate math but want to become a math teacher

wonder if i'll ever be able to afford myself

wonder why i can't afford myself and does this make me a bad person

think you're fun

a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down

A few photos...

april fools part 1

Is it wrong that I'm nervous about going to school today? April fools with a bunch of middle schoolers? Oh lord help me!

As a side note, I have been absent for the past three days due to my stupid ear infection so I spent yesterday with one of my favorite people ever and his mom (ha ha I'm funny!) I spent the afternoon with my best friend and her adorable baby Hudson. While we were on our adventures yesterday we found the most AMAZING thing for Hudson, baby bite biscuits or something like that. I stole this photo from Nat's blog because it's my new favorite! Hudson was flirting with me and I was eating it up!
