Trying this again

Well, let's try this blogging thing again. :-)

A lot has happened...

-I got a job teaching special education 4th and 5th graders who need extra help in either math, reading, writing, or behavior. I love my job now, it is a complete 180 from last year. I love principal, my co-workers, the school in general, my students, and the actual school overall. I have recently moved into the new wing that just opened up, which has brand new EVERYTHING, including a SMART board...the love of my life when it comes to teaching.

-Glenn left for Bahrain in October with the rest of his unit. The 1st month was rough for me, but my job and amazing friends kept me busy and since then things have been going good. I am used to the idea of him being gone, although I don't like it any better then I did a few months ago. In the beginning of the year Glenn was moved to UAE to do a different job. This move was good for him because it got him away from his old unit which was just a toxic environment. He is able to visit fun cities, like Abu Dhabi and Manama. He just started his masters online in what would be essentially sociology with a business emphasis. His 2 week r&r will be the end of June/beginning of July, so I am looking forward to that coming quickly!

-I have been lucky enough to do some traveling since Glenn has been gone, as well as have visitors myself. Due to my dad's crazy amount of frequent flier miles, I was not only able to go to GA for Christmas, but in January for Adrienne's Special Olympic Gymnastics and am going back in March for a UGA gymnastics meet. Mom and Adri came up in Novemeber to visit me, and we had a good time shopping and just spending time together. My best friend Amanda, who I taught next to last year, moved to VA in Sept. and is pregnant and not teaching, so she has made a few trips down to spend the week with me, which is great since she is moving to Kansas next month. I am going to Denver with the family in April for my spring break, I can't wait to break out the skis again!

-My most recent adventure was Thursday, I went with Amanda and got another tattoo. What would have been my due date is actually Sunday, and I felt I needed to do something to represent everything that happened and decided on an open heart on my foot. Yes, it hurt, but it was totally worth it!
