To Do List: In the Works

My To Do List is officially in the works today! I've already ordered the wedding photos, written up the wedding announcement and I'm even going to clean and grade some papers! What's happening? It's called motivation! Whoohoo!

Alex and I joined the gym this week and I am lovin it! Our gym, Anytime Fitness, offers a variety of options. They've got a few trainers who can help you get into better shape, tanning, and even cable! I can actually watch my shows while i work out! What a life!

Yesterday, we had our 2nd official snow day of the school year. Today is the third. I'm able to get a lot done as well as relax at home. Alex is in Springfield and is making his way back today. Pray that he gets home safe.

Tonight and tomorrow, I'm attending a youth leadership conference at church. I do not know what to expect. Expect fun!

My goal is to begin to blog day to day or at least week to week. Wish me luck!

Can it really be January?

Can you believe it is January 2011?! It's insane! I've already taken down the Christmas tree and decorations while also recovering from my tonsillectomy. Alex has begun to travel for his job and is in Springfield for a few days. Next week he will also return to Springfield. He is enjoying it and I'm of course, loving teaching.

Today was the first day back to school and it was rough getting up this morning. It was even harder after school when all the kids were gone. I was ready to get home and have a nap. Of course I had to grade a few papers and get the rest of my grades in for report cards going home Friday. For a Tuesday, things went well. I was impressed especially with the students' behavior with it being the first day back from a two week break.

This week at school we are beginning the Map Warm-Up. This is practicing Map type questions for the students while making it fun and tolerable. Hah. We have a band from the high school coming to perform to kick off the celebration.

I'm home tonight watching movies and grading papers, the story of my life. I've watched "Death at a Funeral" (hilarious); "James and the Giant Peach"; as well as "Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs". Haha.. Needless to say, I'm lovin' it.

Will post later on in the week to give updates!
