Hello again! I need to get better at this blogging thing...I forgot that I started it. haha. oops! I'm so excited to see that I have 5 followers!! You may not think that is a lot, but 5 is better than the 0 that I expected haha
Anyway...
For those of you that don't know, I am a teacher and it is that time of year again. My days of being a lazy bum and having all day to take care of whatever needs to be done is over. For Texas, this means that I will not be learning how to cook anymore and it's back to just him. He prefers this actually, though, since I'm always buying the wrong food or cooking things the wrong way. Haha. I'll just stick to cleaning, and be thankful for having such a helpful husband.
I am starting in a new class and new grades this year. I am moving from the high school to 3rd-5th grade and am SUPER excited!! I've been wanting the younger kids since I graduated, although, I have to admit that I will miss my high school kids a lot. I'm getting some anxiousness about starting in a new environment, which is normal, but I know that it's going to be great. The 1st-2nd grade deaf ed. teacher is going to help me. It'll be great to have another teacher there to bounce ideas off of. We have to do signing choir this year, too, which I haven't ever done. If you don't know, signing choir is a choir of kids that are taught to sign songs. At Christmas, they wear white gloves and preform at local businesses. I know that the kids love it, but it is going to be more work. I'm really thankful to have such great coworkers to help me with it and guide me. That is the best part...I'd be freaking out if it weren't for them. I love my job and it is very rewarding! :) BUT, having said that, I will still be counting down the weeks until Thanksgiving and Christmas break. HA HA.
Texas is doing great at his news job. He has been there for about 15 months now, and his stories get better each time I watch him. (If you want to see some of his stories check out KETK 56 news.) He came home one day this week and had filmed a story about an animal shelter, which he hates doing. He wanted to bring home the dogs and rescue them..:/ Too bad we don't have a place for them. I guess that is just part of his job though-reporting the good and bad news. I'm so glad that he really likes what he does. At first it was so weird whenever I would hear him on TV, but I'm starting to get use to it :)
Texas has joined Ducks Unlimited in the last month or two and is really getting involved in it. This week he went to the DU banquet. He didn't win anything, but he had a good time working booths & having some beverages. I think it is hilarious that he is becoming more "country", since four years ago, he swore he'd never live in Longview and made fun of me for being country. NOW, he has jumped on the East Texas Bandwagon and is going full force. :) He is killing snakes, trimming bushes, involved in Ducks Unlimited... It's so cute! I give him a hard time, but am really glad that he is fitting in so well here and really liking it.
Not much else to report as of now...Goodnight to my 5 followers :) Have a great week!
