Meet the Teacher

I am excited about Blog Hoppin's Back to School linky this week.  I am going to try to link up as many as days as I can, but can't promise anything because I go back to work today and we all know how exhausting the first week of school can be!

FAMILY

I have been married for 11 years.  I could not ask for a better husband.  He is kind and sweet and the best father in the world.  He is definitely my rock and the calm to my storm. and hav

We have two wonderful children who keep us on our toes!  My son is going to be 10 soon (he likes to remind me any chance he can get that he will be double digits) and my daughter just turned 7.  At the moment, they are both playing soccer which takes up most of our evenings, but I wouldn't have it any other way!

FRIENDS

I have the best friends a girl could ask for!  I am beyond lucky to have so many supportive people in my life.

I can't forget my blogging buddies.

THINGS I LOVE

I don't get much spare time, but when I do....I LOVE to read, bake (cupcakes are my specialty), golf, and in the summer relax by the pool.

This year for our anniversary my hubby got me golf lessons.  I am super excited and I have come a LONG way!

I love to bake.  It is a stress reliever for me.  I usually don't eat what I bake though which is kinda weird.  Here is a cupcake wedding dress I made for my cousin's bridal shower!

Well I am off to my first day back to school.  We have professional development all day today, unpack your backpack night this evening and then the students start tomorrow.  I have a feeling I will going to bed early tonight!

Meet the Teacher

I am excited to link up with Blog Hoppin' for Teacher Week '13.  Last year I loved reading all the posts and this year I decided to join in on the fun.

Today's topic is Meet the Teacher.  You just need to share 10 things about yourself!

1.  I am starting my seventh year of teaching tomorrow.  This will be my fourth year teaching kindergarten.  I have also taught first grade and third grade.  My heart definitely belongs in kindergarten!

2.  I have taught at the same school for every year except one.  All my years have been in the same district though.

3.  I LOVE my family.  I don't know what I would do without them.  I have two beautiful children and an amazingly supportive husband who just "gets" me.  They are the best.

4.  I start every day with a cup of coffee and almond joy coffee creamer.  Yum!  If I haven't had my coffee, then you may not want to talk to me yet.  I won't be coherent enough to even remember what you say.  :)

5.  Dark chocolate is my favorite and I keep Dove Dark Chocolate promises in my "desk" at all times.  It is the perfect little snack of chocolate for after lunch or just whenever my hand happens to reach inside the drawer.

6.  I am super indecisive.  I think it is what my husband hates the most about me.  {Don't get me wrong, he loves me, but if he could change one thing about me.....it would be this!}  At school, I am not that way, but at home I feel like I can't make a decision........where to go out to eat, what to wear, etc.  I am definitely working on it though.

7.   I start my first grad class in exactly one week.  I am a little nervous that I bit off more than I can chew at the moment, but I know I can make it work somehow.  {That is also a warning that I may not be blogging quite as much this semester.}

8.  My favorite T.V. show is Grey's Anatomy.  I can't wait for the fall so it will be on again.  I hate waiting through the summer for my weekly fix.  Thank goodness for Netflix.  :)

9.  I am not very good at sleeping in.  Ever since I was a child, I have always been "early to bed, early to rise".   My mom said as a little girl I didn't really have a bed time because I would just go up to her and tell her I was tired.  I am still this way.  I like going to bed early and getting up early.  I always feel so productive in the morning while everyone else is sleeping.

10.  I LOVE my job.  I can't see myself ever doing anything else other than teaching.  To me, its not a job, I am just doing what I love.  Obviously, there are days I don't love it as much as others, but I do love it.  :)

Link up with Blog Hoppin' and tell us a little about yourself.  Here is the schedule for the rest of the week.
