Whew!!!

Well it is Friday and I am officially exhausted. Apparently I have forgotten how tiring it is to get 17 little second graders "whipped" into shape. I think that I said "when we are in the hall your voices are off" about 150 times in 4 days. I teach with a first year teacher. She was telling me that her feet were sore and swollen from being on her feet all day, I agreed with her and asked if that was what it was like to be pregnant, she looked at me and smiled "totally" is all she said. (She has two boys) So I guess if I can handle teaching maybe....just maybe.... someday I can handle pregnancy & kids! I'm off to bed and I am going to sleep in tomorrow for sure!

730 Days

It was 2 years ago today that I married my best friend. He has been my everything for a very long time. Leaving Utah and moving to Connecticut was one of our biggest challenges, well more so for me than him. I left my family, friends, and my job. It was very scary being so far from everything I have ever known. However looking back on these past two years it is amazing how we have grown as our own little family. We had to learn to rely on only each other. When those disagreements happen it is not like we have a choice to leave, where in the heck would we go! That has made our marriage stronger, learning how to communicate, and "live with each other". We still long to be closer to our families but we both know that no matter where we are as long as we have each other we can make it work. We are excited to see what the future holds for us, hopefully my parents will get some grand kids within the next few years (yes mom I said years), and buy a home.

Thanks Michael for the past 2 years but more importantly for the last 10. It was 1999 when we first "kissed" and we have never been apart since. Even through the "long distance" times our love never wavered you are the one person that was made just for me and I am so very happy that we are here now. I've never been happier. Ich liebe Dich.
