I'm Back!

Alright, I know it has been a long time... like half a year... since I posted my last blog entry.  To be honest, blogging has been the last item on my to-do list many, many times, and it seems to be the one thing that I just can't seem to find time to complete.  In fact, I've considered deleting this whole blog quite a few times, but I quickly convince myself that I will, one day, pick up blogging again.

So, here we are. It might be time for a quick little update.

Since my last post, a lot has happened in my life. Like, world life changing events, people! And you poor readers, if there are even any of you left, have been left in the dark. In an effort to save time, here's a list of the top five things that have happened in my life in the last six months or so.

1. I fell in love.

 

In the interest of keeping  you all from gagging at how sticky sweet I could be about my feelings for this man, I'll just leave it at this: I have never in my life met a more well matched person for me. There is a lot of wonderful conversations, goofy singing, and laughing happening around here lately... and I'm very happy.

2. I directed my first school play.

This was a lot of fun. It was a LOT of work, but the students who were involved worked really hard, devoted a lot of time to making it a success, and already some were talking about 'next year's play.'  My parents surprised me and drove all the way (two and a half hours) just to watch the performance.  Even as an adult, it still feels awesome knowing that your parents support you!

3. I finished my first year of teaching.

This one is pretty self explanatory, but let's just put it down in the books that although this year presented its share of challenges, lessons, and tough moments, I am still so excited to be teaching, and I feel very blessed that I get to do what I love.  I have wonderful students and I work at a great school... and I'm actually anxious for school to start up again here in a few weeks!

4. I went to my first Twins game at Target Field!

 

I am a huge Minnesota sports fan and have been to many Twins games in my lifetime, but it has taken me this long to finally get down to Target Field.  Steve and I enjoyed an afternoon game and it was SO. MUCH. FUN. We had fantastic seats and great weather.  I loved every minute of it.

5. I got engaged to the man of my dreams!

Steve made me the happiest girl in the world when he asked me to be his wife on June 7th, 2013.  It was a moment that I will hold dear to my heart for the rest of my life. It's a sweet little story that may even inspire it's own blog post some day! We are planning a wedding for July 12th, 2014. I am so excited to be married to such a fantastic man!


I really have missed blogging, so I'll make an attempt to get a few more blogs posted in the next 6 months than I did in the previous! ;)
