First of all I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!


I haven't updated my blog in awhile so I thought I'd do so. I am finished with this semester's classes. I am looking forward to this break. I have been doing a lot of brainstorming on my scrapbooking. I hope to use this time off to catch up on some of that. I am so behind. All I have done is Truitt's baby book and part of Zander's baby book and a few pages here and there. I decided to try my hand at digital scrapbooking. Which means less mess, can be done around my almost 4 and 2 year old, and if I mess up I won't be wasting expensive paper, stickers, etc. I love digital scrapbooking. Now if I can just sit down and do it.

Math - Not my favorite thing in the world.

Tonight I hope to do well on my final for Intermediate Algebra. I may have to retake the test before. Not sure what my grade was yet but I didn't feel good about it. This math stuff has been quite the adventure for me. I hadn't taken any math since high school. Moody only required students to take either math or science. Being the math whiz I am (not), I took science instead. So when I went to register to start taking classes for my teaching certificate, I had to take a math placement test. Bombed it! So I had to go back to Elementary Algebra and learn everything again from high school. Since then I have also taking Intermediate Algebra. I am proud of myself though. For not having taken Math since high school and not being very good at math, I have gotten a B in both classes so far. I thought that I was going to have to take one more algebra class to catch up, College Algebra, but my advisor said College Algebra was not required. Hallelujah!!! I now get to move on to the Math classes for teachers. However there are four of those classes - Math for Elementary Teachers I, Math for Elementary Teachers II, Math Methods I, and Math Methods II. So needless to say I am not finished with Math. But I am glad to be taking them. They will be related to teaching and I am glad of that. Because of all this, I know I will be a better teacher for having taking Math all over again.

My adorable boys!

Ok! I know I am bias but I have adorable boys.

I love being Truitt and Zander's Mommy.


We have so much fun!

My First Entry

This is my first real try at blogging. I am not much of a writer (I could use the practice) but I would like to use this technology in my future teaching. I am not sure what I will write about, but I will probably be able to come up with something. I have an awesome husband , Ben. We have been married for almost 10 years (this July). I am a mom to two very sweet and energetic boys. Truitt who is almost 4 and Zander who just turned 2. I am a student (again) trying to get my Nebraska Teaching Certificate. So I have a lot going on in my life right now. I think it would be great to write some of it down.
