busyness (I really like that word)

I really have no idea how people find the time to blog daily or even every other day! Maybe it's just that blogging still hasn't become a part of my routine, but I really do not understand how people find time to blog daily...it amazes me!

We have a lot going on in our life these days.

• busy packing for the move
• making preparations for the move
• finishing up student teaching/my teacher work sample
• graduating in 11 days
• going to various hurrahs for my almost-graduatedness and shin digs for my scholarship/academic study program
• enjoying brookside as much as possible before we move!

Tomorrow I am going to visit one of my student's homes and meet her grandma who she lives with. She is also gonna show me where she likes to hang out and what she does in her neighborhood. I'm really excited!

Today one of my students matter of factly pointed out the zit between my eyebrows. He wasn't being rude, just observant. He then pointed out that he also has a pimple there on his forehead in the same spot. :) He sure got a kick out of that. 12-year-olds don't judge you for having pimples because they are at the prime age to start getting them!

I am so lucky to have Alex as my husband. He does so much for me, just because he loves me and desires to put me and my needs above his! I hope I can be as good of a spouse as he is someday. :)

I really like people. Every person is so different and fascinating and wonderful in their own unique way.

I have an awesomely blessed life.

oh, how time passes!

Tomorrow is my last official day of my ten week student teaching....this means that I will no longer be the one planning lessons and being the sole teacher. I will still be helping out in the classroom, but I will be more of a co-teacher than the one in charge. I really never thought this day would come. I remember my freshman year of college like it was only a few months ago!

My students have changed my life in so many ways. Student teaching has changed my life in so many ways. I love making new discoveries and strides in my teaching ability. I love that my husband encourages me in my teaching aspirations and never (well rarely) asks me to tone down the amount of time I spend talking about my students. 

• I cannot believe that Alex and I have been  married for almost 8 months! Thats practically a year!
• Spring break is next week! Alex and I are going to the lake Tuesday-Friday and will be out of communication with the world...we won't even have cell phone service! I am so excited to be able to spend so much time with my love! Did I mention it is supposed to be in the seventies all next week?!?! 
• Speaking of nice weather, I am so glad it is scooter riding season! I can't explain how much my insides bubble up with joy those first few scooter rides of the season. :) I love seeing people's reactions to us on Alex's bright yellow scooter. 
• Molly (my sister) is spending the night on Saturday. Super pumped about that! She is definitely one of my favorite people on the planet. 

Today while my students were working on a project on the laptops, I noticed that one boy was completely zoning, and periodically looking at my boots. (They are mustard yellow and I wore a purple jumper dress today.) I walked over and asked him if he needed help with the assignment, and he told me he was just trying to figure out why I always wear these boots whenever I wear this dress. I told him it was because purple and yellow are my favorite colors so I love wearing them at the same time. He gave me a funny look and said, "That don't match," and got back to work. :)

I am so excited to hear Alex preach this Palm Sunday. He is amazing and inspires me to be a better person on a daily basis!
