I got a job this week! I am so excited and relaxed now. I don't have to worry about having a job or not, just about gathering all the items for my classroom. I am going to be a second grade teacher at Early Light Academy, and I can't wait. This school is in the process of being built, and it should be a great facility. Each of the classrooms is going to have this thing called a SmartBoard, which is an interactive whiteboard. It acts as a whiteboard, and a touch screen for your computer. You just project your computer onto the board, and bam, you can touch the board to click on items on your desktop. I am super excited for this new adventure. Also, I found out that I passed my Teacher Work Sample (final senior project) so that is nice and means that I can graduate. Everything is falling into place so nicely, that I am just amazed by it all.
Brandon is not going to be doing Army related training this summer so that will be nice. However, he is going to take classes during the summer term so that he won't be in school for another 3 years.
It snowed here this week, after about 2 weeks of spring weather and 70 degrees it just had to snow again.
So, graduation is getting closer, about 3 weeks. This means that we get to see some of the family. Brandon's parents are coming and his sister lives here so it will be nice to have them come, and then my parents and my brother, sister-in-law, and their adorable children are coming. It is going to be a party!

Life keeps moving
So, I know that it has been awhile, but life just keeps moving.
My class assignment was changed. I am in a third grade class now, which is a big change. The students are the sweetest, nicest, and cutest ever. They are always asking me about what I ate for lunch, what I am doing in the back of the room, and other very sweet things. I am excited to be with them, and to get to know them. However, it is going to be tougher than last time. They all come from lower income families, and they need so much more love and teaching from me. I already love each one of them, and it is only the fourth day with them.
Brandon is still very busy, but he is handling it well. He has been responsible for leading PT for Army ROTC for the past few sessions. He has been coming up with good workouts, and comes home sore from them.
We officially are going to the Philippines in May for about 3 weeks. However, right before that we are moving into another apartment. We were lucky to find a person to take over our contract within days of listing it. Brandon is so ready for our summer trip, and is looking forward to it. I am graduating in less than 2 months, and that is so exciting. However, scary at the same time. I am still looking for a teaching job, but I am not that worried.
