Time to play catch up

So it has been an extremely long time since I last blogged, like over a year long! This last year has been crazy and our little family has been very busy. I am going to try and catch up on all of the exciting things that have been going on in our life up to this point so here I go.



I miss them!

In October 2011, I got hired as an ELD Kindergarten teacher in Glendale, Arizona. Being that we were moving down to Arizona at the end of August I had accepted the fact that I would most likely be subbing for the 2011-2012 school year, so when I was presented this opportunity I was THRILLED. I have to admit I was a little scared of the idea of spending all day with 5&6 year olds  but it seriously was the greatest year. I loved every moment, even the early mornings, late nights and long weekends spent planning... it was all worth it. Here are a couple pictures of my classroom/kiddos.


My classroom was HUGE, I embraced every moment of it
 knowing I will probably never have a room that large again!



Classroom library- my favorite part of the room!

Joel on the other hand has been busy working for the Arizona Cardinals.. selling tickets like crazy! More updates to come!

 



Our new adventure

Joel and I have been married for 2 years now and I decided it's about time for me to get in on all this blogging.... so here I am!! Instead of back tracking on all the exciting things that have happened in our life since being married I'll just start from now.

On August 13th, Joel and I packed up all our 'stuff'... (which turns out to be a whole lot more 'stuff' than I ever thought we had) and drove down to Arizona. Well actually we stopped in Layton, Utah on our way where Joel dropped me off so that I could spend time with my family and he drove the rest of the way on his own...what a trooper! He had a very eventful adventure of his own including loosing his wallet and a flat tire, it could have been worse and for that reason we are grateful! On Monday, Joel started his new job with the Arizona Cardinals, he will be doing ticket sales for them. We are really excited for this next chapter in our life. Stay tuned to learn more about our many adventures to come!
