And a year has zoomed by....

Well, it has been almost a COMPLETE YEAR since I actually blogged...somewhere along the way I forgot I had this....surprise surprise. :)  It is kinda sad that I forgot, because it has been one hell of a ride this past year! When I left off last year, it was prior to the school year starting and I was stressed and anxious, so let me get you up to speed on how should was last year....

- Overall FANTASTIC!!

- Started out the year with two teachers and large classes, then soon turned into three teachers and small classes

- Fell in love with Laura and Jessica, the two new teachers on my team and found two wonderful friends in them

- Had a wonderful class who I miss daily now

- Technology ROCKED - we were on the news and in the paper!!

- Finally felt like people were noticing my hard work

- Had lost of fun learning and laughing all year

It was hard to say goodbye to this school year.  I had a great year.  I enjoyed going to work.  I loved my kids, I loved my neighboring teachers.  I was happy to get up and go to work and happy when I got home most days.  It was a year that reminds you why you teach.

Personally, this past year has been a bit of a rollercoaster.  I have learned a lot about myself and others.  I found out what and who makes me really happy. I have realized what is worth fighting and what is not. I have found out what is important and what is not. I have lost friends and gained friends, and although there were bumpy times, I came out the other end happy and okay.  I never had a problem with who I was, and now more than ever I know who I am and like that person.  I am 26, married to one of my best friends, a fantastic mom to my puppies,the best big sister and daughter ever, spend my days with kids who I love and love me back, am goofy as shit, a loyal friend, and some days a ocd crazed woman on the lose....but you know what?! I am okay with all of it :)

I am making a promise to write more often, so enjoy the craziness :)
