Is it summer yet???

I have been super swamped with my last semester of actual college classes before my full internship. Between being a newlywed, a full time student, an on call babysitter (to be best kiddos in the world), I have just been able to save some drafts for future post of some things I've been working on in my pre-internship. Hopefully by June 1st, I'll be posting left and right. I'm trying to build a resource for future employers to see what I've been doing in the classroom. Let's be honest, funding is so low for education right now that it's hard to get a job anywhere. So here's hoping this will help me out as I embark on that journey. I live in a small(ish) town in Oklahoma and am married to my high school sweetheart. We fight like brother and sister, enjoy each others time like best friends, and love each other like a husband and wife should. I think that's usually what you get when you've known someone since the first grade, but I wouldn't have it any other way :) I am blessed with an amazing family, in-laws, and friends. I love my community and love seeing young and successful people come back to it to build their lives. I thank God for the undeserving blessings he's given me and continues to give me every day. I'm looking forward to blogging about something that is a great passion of mine. For as long as I can remember I have wanted to be an elementary school teacher. I love children and know that is what God has called me to pursue. I've had great role models who have inspired me, like my mom who teaches first grade, and my grandmother who used to teach fifth grade. Many teachers that I've had throughout my childhood have really paved the road for me and have given me great examples of what a meaningful and effective learning environment includes. I also love my university and how caring they are in preparing me for my future. So please hold tight for posts as I am trying really hard to figure out the blogging world and get enough posts under my belt so I can be consistent. Thank you, and happy blogging!
