The view of the mountains... from Mountain View! How fitting!

Loads of events, problems, and blessings have been happening recently.


Mountain View Elementary School

  • I'll be a 4th grade teacher.
  • I'm starting with only 22 students! (A big difference between this and 29)
  • I have been greeted to this new school with open arms. So many people will just strike up a conversation about school or just life! I feel like I have truly hit the ground running at this school. The 4th grade team is great and one teacher in particular has really just been SUCH a big help to me. I've been very blessed.
  • Yesterday it took me an hour to get to school and today I went the same way and it only took 30 minutes...
  • The calmness I have felt this week about starting school and all the hurdles that I have run into before school has started has been mind blowing to me. I'm not usually THIS calm. It's a weird feeling. Jason says it's an answer to prayers. I suppose he's correct. :) But I'm still waiting for the freaking out part to catch up with me...
  • I'm in a nice room right now, but sadly I will have to leave it and move into a portable in a couple of weeks. Which sucks, yes, but it's life and it's NOT the worse thing that could happen to me!
  • I haven't signed my contract yet and that does in fact make me a wee bit nervous. I'm afraid the district will change their minds about letting me be hired! Let's hope and pray that gets taken care of fast!
  • Maybe the reason I'm so cool about all this new stuff is because I JUST finished a school year a week and a half ago! I didn't really rest my mind from school.
Other stuff
  • I cleaned out my closets and got ride of 3 bags of clothes and a bag of shoes. I sent it all to my mumsy's classroom and the girls there had a hay day. So that's good!
  • We went on a family vacation! With the WHOLE family! Including Stephanee and Jason. We went to California and it was lots of fun! Minus the me getting sick... but other than that it was just so much fun.
  • Oh yeah... my best friend Stephanee is now I guess we'll call it dating... my brother! But it's ok, it's just funny that now I'm sharing my best friend with my church AND my brother. haha I pray that He's working in her heart. :)
  • Tonight I really saw God's power and the way he uses miracles in people's lives. Seeing something happen that should be impossible is just mind blowing. It really shows that God is truly in control of us and what happens to us! I won't spill the beans on this silly blog... but it's AMAZING news!!! And I'm so happy for these two amazing people in my life! Maybe by the time people read this they'll know who I'm talking about. ^_^
  • I LOVE my family!
