Graduation is Near!

Well, I blinked and it was April, and I realized I have not blogged in almost three entire months!

My internship has kept me extremely busy. I spent eight weeks in Kindergarten, after which I realized that teaching K-3 would definitely be my area of preference. Now I am in fifth grade. Actually, I'm watching the students add fractions and find common denominators as I type this... I like fifth grade; the kids are pretty independent and they are a really good group. But I'm not going to lie...I miss my little ones, and I've probably been to visit them, oh, about thirty times in the past three weeks.

Bryant and I are almost finished painting the house. We are finishing up painting the trim with the help of my parents. Now we only have to install new ceiling fans and then the house should be move-in ready!!

Also, Bryant and I have a new addition to our family!! Meet Penny!

COUNTDOWN:
DAYS LEFT OF INTERNSHIP: 16
DAYS LEFT UNTIL GRADUATION: 36
DAYS UNTIL WE MOVE TO THE NEW HOUSE: 32

Things are getting exciting and I'm sure it's going to be an amazing summer!! :)

Blessed Beyond Belief

Hey guys!

I'm hoping to start blogging more frequently. I always mean to write a new post and then I get preoccupied and completely forget!

Bryant and I have been so blessed lately!

First off, Bryant and I are now HOMEOWNERS! We bought our very first home a couple of weeks ago. We've already started the process of taking down wallpaper. Usually, I would detest this particular task, but since it's OUR home, I love it! I've been making a prioritized list of what I want to get done before we "officially" move in May! So far the list includes:

1. Take down wallpaper.
2. Painting!!
3. Replace light fixtures throughout the house.
4. Replace bathroom fixtures.
5. Pick out bedspreads for all of the beds.

This list seems to grow every day, but I have to remind myself that these are things that we have plenty of time to do, and it will ALL get done!

This is us in the front yard! Sorry it's dark. We closed on the house the evening before we had to be back in Troy for school!

This brings me to our next exciting event! Bryant and I both GRADUATE in May!! We are both interning this semester and I am so excited! And to make things even better, we were both placed in the same school for our student-teaching! So we will be able to carpool every day, and my nightmares about gas money are officially over! :)

I am looking forward to sharing awesome stories of my internship, as well as pictures of the house as updates are finished!

Bye for now!
