Here we go!

I knew student teaching was approaching quickly whether or not I wanted to hide from it. I was nervous, mostly for how awkward it can be at times but also because now the classroom is on me. I want to make sure I'm leaving an impression with the school and more importantly, the children. It's a heavy load to carry but after a week under my belt I feel like I'm ready for the challenge.

This new year is the first time in a while that I truly don't know where I'll be in a year. After graduation - the possibilities are endless. We don't have plans...yet. We have weddings on the calendar but nothing planned for a getaway just for us. We'll probably end up camping this summer (hopefully in Colorado) and take a trip out to Chicago for a cubs game [maybe they'll play the twins this year!] and I'll enjoy applying for jobs and interviewing - god willing. Needless to say, 2011 is going to be exciting, probably an emotional roller coaster, and hopefully pleasantly surprising :)

But for now, I have a snow day - few and far between when I was growing up. I'll spend my excitement about snow days on the latter half of my twenty-somethings. No plans for the day - and I can't wait!
