One Year Later...

Oh, hey there! I honestly completely forgot about my blog, not that anyone on earth reads it, but I like to have it to look back at every once in a while, so I figured I would let you know what I've been up to for the last year.

School has taken over my life, but it's ALMOST OVER! I graduate NEXT SEMESTER. You have no ideeeeeea how good it feels to be able to finally say that. Almost as good as it will feel to say next semester that I'm graduating in just a couple of months. It's so close I can smell it. There IS a light at the end of this long ass tunnel.

My first internship just started this week. I'm at an elementary school nearby my house, in a 3rd grade classroom, two days a week. So far it's going pretty well, I just can't say that 3rd grade is my favorite. I really prefer the older kids, but I guess this will be a good learning experience...? It bugs me to hear my fellow students talk about how they're placed in a 5th grade classroom and weren't expecting to be with older kids, because that was all I wanted! I'm really hoping to teach 6th grade in the future, but I guess we'll see what I can find when the time comes to look for my very first teaching job!


This was taken the morning of my second day of internship (which was yesterday).

I have class two days a week in addition to my internship. Since school just started last week and my internship just started this week, I honestly haven't been very busy, but I know once the ball gets rolling this semester, it won't stop until the last day of classes. So I'm trying to just take it in while I have it.

We have officially picked out a wedding date - 10.10.15 <3! I'm suuuuuper excited about getting married and having a wedding in the mountains. I ordered my wedding dress from Etsy. It's being custom made for me...from Australia. I'm taking a HUGE risk buying a dress that I've never seen in person, or tried on, but I'm so in love with it. I've been to a couple of bridal stores, and a bridal convention to look for a dress that I would like more than that one, but I never did find one that came close. Every dress I tried on I would compare to the one from Etsy and think about what I could do to the dress to make it look like that one. So after I convinced myself that it would be okay, I saved up my money and ordered the dress! It should be arriving at my house sometime in January, just in case it somehow doesn't meet every expectation I have, I'll have time to find a new dress. I hope that is NOT the case. 

Maybe I'll post again soon...maybe I won't. Toodles!
