Graduation Photos

 

   

I am a 2010 RU Graduate

 

Tomorrow is the big day!

 

Although it may appear that I have avoided and abandoned my blog, I assure that I have just been very very very very busy!! All of that business has come to and, or well, will come to an end tomorrow evening.

I am finally graduating from college tomorrow! YAY!

I have so much to discuss, so many pictures to share, so many tea times ahead of us, and just lots to catch up on… but for tonight, and tomorrow, I will just enjoy the last day or so of this season of my life.. because when I wake on Sunday morning, life as I know it will be very different.

 

Graduating…….

Hey There!

I am graduating at the end of next week! And though I have a lot to say about this matter, I just cannot blog really until, well, in a few days, I will be able to blog again. But I write for a housekeeping purpose… Those of you that received this invitation in the mail, I did not include the date,

 

ITS MAY 8th!!!!!

I want you there- Even if you did not get an invite, you are still welcome to come.

 

Those of you coming to the graduation, you should have received a website to visit for more information including a campus map, but for laziness sake, click here to check that out. Please call me to let me know that you will be there. PLEASE.

I am very excited!!!

Lesson Planning

 

 

These days……… this is what it looks like around here…….. that is, when I am planning for the week.

Everyone is asking how I like it. I like it. I like the fact that for the first time in two years of lesson planning, that I am finally writing them for a purpose.  

It is not always fun to sit down and do, especially with the amount of detail that is required for me being so "young" in the lesson planning stages…..

But it is DEFINTELY worth it because I KNOW that I have to teach it! And that makes this SO MUCH better. I chose to take over Science first. I am glad that I chose science because I teach the SAME lesson for two days before I move on to the next planned lesson. I have two classes of third grade. I am pretty interested in the subject matter, but it does require some brushing up on.

This week I take over Language Arts from my cooperating teachers' lesson plans. I like that subject too, but even that requires a little brushing up on.

 

But for today, I am simply still planning science. And I choose the most comfortable seat in the house to work in. :)

 

I passed my PRAXIS!

Ummm…. in major disbelief, (even after 4 hours of knowing) and exuberant happiness and relief, I get to announce that I passed my PRAXIS exam, and I will be at Roanoke City starting next week!

Big Big Big relief.

A very busy year is ahead, but I am ready to tackle it and graduate.

If I had a picture that displayed my happiness, Id post it, but I don’t, so use your imagination!

 

School Days….

 I have had this camera for only 6 months- and I have hardly documented a huge part of my life. I go to school just about every day and have been busy at this for over a year. And so today I thought I would take Mr. Canon along for the “other” very big part of my day.

I have made some good friends while in school. Relationships that I am sure will exist in some fashion or another over the years. This is Jessica- we call each other our twin because we are so much a like! It’s actually very weird. In this physics/chemistry class that we are in these hot summer early mornings, we do two experiments a day. . . My teacher Sarah- mixing gelatin in which other fruits to test the enzymes! :)  Jessica wanted some new facebook pictures. . . here ya go, Jess. :)

Look at this bottom picture VERY closely.

In the chemistry part of our class we have been talking about bonds. the colorful thing you see is a carbon hydrogen bond that I created with gumballs and toothpicks….

and as a side note, my teacher went on to say that:

YOU CANNOT BREAK A TRIPLE BOND- - -

and I could not agree with her more…

Because TODAY, 5 years ago:

July 16, 2004.. Dennis asked me to be his wife.

It was such a sweet memory this day 5 years ago. :)

This view from The Empire State Building was amazing. . . and I was so proud to be his fiance!!

Dennis,

We have had an interesting life, and an odd story to tell…. but I cannot agree more, that a marriage with three bonds cannot be broken. God truly redeems, and restores to the uttermost. I love you- and Happy Engagement Anniversary!!!
