Umm, probably not, but I do promise to maybe blog more frequently than every seven months. A LOT has happened since my April post. Summer happened, Russell trained for a month and I painted much of the downstairs in that time, I passed my content tests, It became August and school was about to start, and then I got a job [which you really all should already know :)]. It was completely God's timing. He was teaching me to wait on Him. He provided Russell's great job over a year ago at Cameron, provided an amazing first house, me roommates to share that house with while Russell is gone, and then a job. Three weeks to the day before school started, I was offered a job. I am a fifth grade Language Arts/Social Studies teacher. Most days I love it, though I am completely ready for my first year to be over. This year has been a one of so many firsts, and as fun as some are, most are SUPER stressful. This has definitely been a year that has already stretched and grown me. I have been teaching for over half a school year, Russell has been gone for 4.5 months [and I have survived!] I am so looking forward to June for more than one reason. I will be a veteran teacher as of June 3rd, and a weekish later, Russell will be home from Iraq for his 10 day leave...!!!! We previously had big plans to go to Hawaii or something, but Russell has requested that we just take it easy and enjoy each other and take the big trip later. Either way, I CANNOT wait to see him, though my biggest countdown is to October, when Russell will be home for GOOD!
Well enough serious updates. I am off to bed after a fun evening of seeing When in Rome with Mandy and Lindsee. It was hilarious and quite cute. We have since being home relaxed, watched the end of High School Musical Three, and then begun to call each other by our school mascot's [like Gabriella calls Troy 'Wildcat'] We have decided that 'Bear cat' really works, 'Longhorn' really is an animal ;) and that 'Aggie' sounds best.
love and hopefully more soon!
