2. Goal for 2013:

My goal for 2013 is to not bring my work home with me. This past semester I took my work home every weekend and a couple nights a week. Every Sunday afternoon I would sit in front of my computer doing my lessons plans for the week. I need to start getting in the habit of doing everything AT work. Especially with a little one on the way. I won't have much time for work at home! Please help keep me accountable, as I know this is going to be very hard for me!

 

 

1. One Little Word:

"Love"

Love is one of the greatest things we can give one another. We need to try and show love to our students, our co-workers, our families, and our friends.

11 in 2011!

Join this great Linky Party, I am!

11. Favorite Movie You Watched:
By far, the movie Courageous. Best movie ever, from the makers of Fireproof and Facing The Giants. This movie will make you laugh and cry and really think about life. I recommend this to everyone!

10. Favorite TV Series:
My husband and I love watching The Biggest Loser. It helps us get motivated in staying healthy and working out. I can't wait for the new season to start back up again!

9. Favorite Restaurant:

I love Texas Roadhouse! Delicious food...I could definitely gain 10 pounds in one sitting here!

8. Favorite New Thing You Tried:

I am now officially addicted to Pinterest! It is the greatest thing! My best friend (a photographer) introduced me to Pinterest and I have been on it probably everyday since! There are so many great teaching, organizing, style, etc. ideas on here it blows my mind! LOVE!

 7. Favorite Gift You Got:

I actually ordered these for myself for Christmas! ha! Merry Christmas to me! New Reebok Realflex running shoes. I absolutely love them! They are soooo comfy! Definitely recommend these shoes to any runners out there!

6. Favorite Thing You Pinned:

My  husband and I have been trying to get back into working out and staying healthy. I found this on Pinterest and have been trying to do it everyday. It is the One Month Challenge. I think I will definitely see results if I do this religiously everyday for a month! Great kick start to the new year!

5. Favorite Blog Post:

Oh My! I have way too many favorites for this one! I love at the beginning of the school year when everybody starts posting pictures of their rooms. It is so inspiring to see. I am not yet a teacher (I am a Title 1 aide) and I love getting inspired by your classrooms! Keep posting! :)

4. Best Accomplishment:

This may seem to be a weird accomplishment but, quitting my 1st ever job to take a (believe it or not) better job as an aide. The school that I was going to have my 1st teaching job was a school of 50 kids (k-8, and no it was not private). It was a small country school. I would have been teaching 1st/2nd grade with no benefits (at all!). I now am working at an amazing, well recognized school in my town as a title 1 aide. With the hopes of getting a teaching job at the next retirement. Can't wait! It was a hard decision to make but in the end I call it an accomplishment!
3. Favorite Picture:

I absolutely love this picture that my best friend took! She does amazing work! Check out her website that is listed on the photo or just click my photo! :) Thank you
R & G Photography!

2. Favorite Memory:

Celebrating my 1 year anniversary with my husband. The weekend of our anniversary we went to St. Louis to the Melting Pot, a Cardinals game, shopping, and stayed the night. We had a great time. Love you babe!

He was trying to put our cake topper in my face! Ah!

1. Goal for 2012:

- To get fit and healthy (like always!)
- To learn more about God and get closer to Him
- To not be discouraged about not having a teaching job yet
- AND to love life!!

Thank you for stopping by,
