Let's start with the basics, shall we? I am a 7th grade English/Reading teacher in Oklahoma and I LOVE my job. I moved to Oklahoma in August 2009 for my job and met my fiance thanks to my fabulous cousin (and maid of honor) and we will be getting married in 40 days. I went to the University of Oklahoma where I received a Bachelors of Arts in Communications and a minor in History (best six years ever!) I am an avid college football fan (Boomer Sooner!) but am marrying an avid Longhorn fan so football season is fun at our house.
{...Q & A...}

Q: What are your biggest fears?

Q: Now, tell us one thing about yourself:
A: I was born in a small town in Oklahoma (population 7,000) and moved to Atlanta when I was ten and then moved to South Carolina when I was seventeen but consider myself a true southerner. I am also a 3rd generation Sooner and love that I have memories of going to football games with my grandfather, parents, cousins, etc.

I'm visiting from the Meet The Teacher at The First Grade Parade. I'm an Aggie who married into a family of Longhorn fans. Thanksgiving is always fun for us ;) I love the name of your blog and love the quote at the top even more. I'm printing that and hanging it in my classroom. It's so nice to 'meet' a fellow middle school/junior high teacher. Our job is definitely never a dull one!
