...good teachers are priceless. They inspire you, they entertain you, and you end up learning a lot even when you don't know it.

Everyone is having babies!

I have been finding it very difficult to keep up with my blog now that my work load has been greatly increased. That's right, I began my solo teaching today!!! (APPLAUSE!!!) It went pretty well, if I do say so. I have truly been blessed by a wonderful, WONDERFUL cooperating teacher. Mrs. Carter is an absolute jewel and I could not have asked for a better mentor.

Last week, leading up to the start of solo teaching, I felt like it would not been that different because I was already teaching every subject, with a few interjections from Mrs. Carter. She also stepped in to handle any discipline problems. Well I ended up being wrong. Don't get me wrong, my lessons went wonderful, it just seemed so strange to be teaching and moving about the classroom without Mrs. Carter. For the first time, I WAS the teacher. I found the feeling very eerie, but in a good way. What can I say, I love teaching and my kids are awesome.

Now on to the part about babies... my very best friend in the world, Jenny, is expecting baby #2 on March 4th. His name is Johnathon Michael. Her first born, Corilee Nicole, is an absolute doll! I can't believe she had grown up so fast. It seems like just yesterday that I was on my way to the hospital to visit Jenny. It has been so cool to watch her grow up and learn new things over the past two years. Jenny's baby shower was this weekend and I have posted several pictures. Corilee seems very unaware that she is soon to take on the roll of Big Sister. However, I think it is a roll that she will be great at. I am so very proud of Jenny and her husband and I can't wait to meet Johnathon.

Jenny is not the only one having a new baby. Another friend from our childhood, Amy, is pregnant with her first baby, daughter London Journey. My college friend Whitney, also pregnant with baby numero uno, invited me to her shower next weekend. Her son is Greyson Holden.

Pregnancy must be in the water these days. I think Dustin and I have some catching up to do. Soon enough (;

This is Corilee, AKA Booger She doesn't often pose, but I managed to get a posed shot.
