Yes, I haven't been updating like I should. Shame on me! The last few weeks have been a whirlwind. My one of my good friend's, Kristen (and biggest loser partner), mother passed away a couple of weeks ago. Although I have not known this family long, and have only known Kristen 9 or so months, I can't imagine my life without her. I really do believe that God sent me here to teach and meet Kristen, and that his plan was for me to help her through this year. She doesn't have many close friends in this area, and either do I, and we just get along so well. Anyway, with that and school, my life has been pretty hectic.
I will be moving out of my apartment in Kickadonkey next week, and will be moving home for the summer. I can't tell you how excited I am to get out of that place. It is so very lonely, except for the bugs, spiders, etc. and I'm really not that big of a fan of creepy, crawly things. I am excited to go garage sale-ing with my mom every weekend, and hang out with my dad on his days off. It won't be as quick of trip when I want to see EW, but I'm sure I'll manage.
Also, we have finally found an apartment. We will be moving July 10th, to Aurora, into a 2 bed, 2 bath place. I am so very excited we came across the great deal we did and will be able to have the extra room! I won't have to get rid of some of my clothes, or shoes after all!
Tomorrow is the last day of actual school work. I'll be showing a movie for the 2 days next week, and then Wed. is graduation. I'm so ready to be done. Some days I think I wouldn't mind finding another teaching job, but others, I wonder what is a job that I can do that has NOTHING to do with children or teaching. I have found out over the past year that I do much better with small groups of children, or one on one. However, the classes I had this year are not even that big. My biggest class was 20, and the other two were 10 and 11 kids. HA!
As for the biggest loser, next week is the last week. I did not get to my goal, but I'm ok with that. I did lose about half, so that's some accomplishment. I'll continue watching what I eat over the summer, and will definitely fit into the wedding dress!

I'll leave you with a pic that is one of my new favs. It's the background to my smartboard at school and the kids love it too!
