Anniversary Weekend!!

Well our anniversary weekend went very slow ...which is a good thing when you don't want it to pass so fast. We bought a Wii from Trey's friend so first thing Friday morning we picked that up right outside Ranger (I think thats where). After that we got the house ready for the carpet cleaner and then the cabinet guy so that he could give us an estimate on custom cabinets for the kitchen. After all that stuff we rested a bit and then went out to check out stuff at the stores for our new Wii. Its amazing to think that David & I have been together 7 years!! Its kinda crazy! Saturday David had defensive driving to take so I waited around the house for him to get out of that before we did anything for the day. I did however take Zoe for a walk around the neighborhood since it was such a nice day outside. Later we went and rented some Wii games so that we could decide what games we might like to buy in the future. Sunday was out typical day ....trying to wake David up for church and not succeeding. We lounged around the house most of the day ate some chinese food and played games. We did get out to go see some friends and play some Wii games at their house for a bit and they let us borrow some so we could decide if we liked them. We played those until 1 am this morning and man thats kinda rough but I better get used to it cause starting Wednesday I go back to my subbing job and Im just soo soo excited. Tomorrow is our doctors appt so we're excited...on another note...this weekend was a face of reality ...one of our co-workers...primarily David's... passed away and our hearts go out to all those affected by this tragedy. You never want to hear that someone younger than yourself has passed away.

Oh the Possibilities!!

Well I officially survived the 2nd week of Student Teaching. I was able to get more involved this week. I taught morning calendar which was fun as the kids helped walk me thru it!! It was spur of the moment cause my teacher needed to step out to go to the office. I was so excited to learn my new Spanish word for the day POPOTE meaning straw. We also got a new student which was a wonderful learning exeperience because you spend all the time before school getting folders ready, labeling desk and books and then in a matter of minutes you need to catch a student up to where the rest of the class is. So needless to say I got crayons, books, notebooks, sticker, desk name tags, chore star and spelling/phonics papers ready!! When we asked him where he was from he told us Hollywood I just love kids imaginations. Aside from impromptu teaching this week I also started planning my lesson plans for next week. Let me just say it is time consuming. I have lesson plans to start for the week after also but I'm excited I've decided to teach the kids LEAVES-FALL for my 3 day unit. I really think that they'll enjoy it regardless of how Texas weather really is. Perhaps the most exciting thing that happened this week was my Sub offer to teacher permanently while my teacher is out on maternity leave. Let's keep our fingers cross that it might happen because the experience alone is SOO WORTH IT!!
