| So, it has only been like what...5 months since I last wrote...What can I say, I am a busy girl. More so now because, I am now the new proud 6th grade Core teacher at C.E. Utt MIddle School in Tustin. I will be teaching Language Arts, Reading, and Social Studies to 6th graders. This has been a blessing form God in so many ways. I want to thank all those who have been praying for me these past few weeks. It has meant the world to be. Thank you. Oh, and married life to Jon is amazing! | | |
| I don't have that much time to blog right now. I should be driving to church to lead my high school girls bible study. Who better than me to lead high school girls... Any who, saw the new Harry Potter book cover. Fricken amazing. You better believe that I am pre-ordering that book. Jon will be gone in San Diego when it comes out so I will be able to devote all my time to the Harry Potter. If you really know me, you know I have a Harry Potter problem...Katie can back me up on this one. As of right now I am student teaching in a 2-3 combo class, and I have to say I am semi loving it. The kids are growing on me. Not the whole touching, constant hugging and saying I need help part. But the everything else. I just love it when I can teach. I have been given many compliments by some great teachers/advisors these past weeks about my teaching and it makes me love teaching that much more. It sounds cheesy, but I really do love teaching kids. Who would of guessed. I can not imagine teaching not feeling natural. I love standing up in front of the class and teaching. But now I am just rambling. Wedding. It's going pretty well. Jon and I have our list and little by little we are marking things off. No stress here. Although Jon said I will no longer be his fiancee, but his wife soon. That hit me. I am going to be someones wife. Sure growing up you imagine your wedding (for girls that is) and how life is going to be this perfect cookie cutter shape. But I am really going to be someones wife and Jon will be my husband. I can not wait, but it is now becoming a reality. I can not wait to spend my life with Jon. Yeah, I am going to be Mrs. Mann! Or we are thinking of combining our names to become the Mannfords. Nice ring no? But now I am officially late. I must go. This is me in a nut shell for now. Stress blogs will be coming soon have no fear... | | |
| So it's been over a month since I last blogged... I started back up at school today and it finally hit me. This was my last semester of college before I become a teacher and will start my career. I still can't believe it. But a blessing happened today when I saw my final classes. I have Thursday and Friday off, which was an answer to my prayer. I am now able to sub these two days full time and earn a paycheck. Not bad for doing something I love. Since starting the credential program I have never had to rely on so many people financially. I am extreamly blessed to have my parents and Jon to help me through my drought of financial difficulties. But it does feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. Lets see, what else. Wedding planning is going quite good. We are choosing our engagment pics, we saw a copy of our wedding inventation, and I have finally decided on a bridesmaid dress. I don't feel too stressed about things so far. Although I am sure Jon is tired of me asking him if we can get married right now and go to Vegas. I was just in my friend's wedding this past Friday. Poor Jon had to share his birthday with the wedding. Ehh, our wedding is on her now husband's birthday. I didn't cry the whole wedding until their first dance. Right then it hit me that she was married and moving to Oklahoma when they return from their honeymoon. I have never had a friend really move away. I know, but it's true. Jon said he would fly us out and Amanda is coming back to be the matron of honor in our wedding. As Amanda said, growing up sucks! Well, parts of it anyway. It's just reality. Got to go, Jon just got here and I am ready for dinner... | | |
| My aunt just called and told me my cousins first girlfriend was killed last nights. She pulled over on the freeway to help and elderly couple and was stuck by a car. Please pray for my cousin and her family. She was only 21 and my cousin is recovering from many addictions that have controlled his life for the past few years. I am very close to my cousin Aaron and I will be seeing him tonight. I am not sure how he is handling the news, but please pray for him. | | |
| Not really (this is in regards to my title), but I now have officially started my professional portfolio for my teaching credential. Way to go me. And I now have one week left until I am in the classroom full time. Wish me luck! I am sure there will be some stress blogs coming soon. Don't you worry. | | |
