It's hard to believe but my summer is pretty much over in 2 days! Wow has time flown! It seems like just last week I was graduating college. Oh, wait, just last week I was getting engaged! :) It's only been a week and a half since we got engaged but a lot sure has happened in that time! Everything with my teaching job has kicked into gear, wedding plans have been a work in progress, and Kevin is moving! We've been busy since we got back from vacation, that's for sure!
1) teaching :) I am officially a TN teacher now! My teaching license came in the mail today; all of the paperwork for MNPS has been completed and turned in; and I have been to school to see my room and talk with the principal! That all happened yesterday and today so it's been kind of a whirl-wind. I can already tell this 1st year is going to be quite the adventure. For starters, my room is in a hall way that is having a new roof put on it. Well, it rained before the roof was all the way there. Enough said? My room and the rooms on my hall are a mess right now! Mine stinks the worst though. Literally, it smells awful! My principal was trying to be positive about it though so I wouldn't be too worried. We'll get some paint, hopefully new (or I'll settle for cleaned) carpets (although tile floor would be best!) and spruce it up a little. We may also invest in a lot of Febreeze if that smell doesn't go away! On the bright side, my classroom is huge and I can't wait to get in it and start setting everything up! I'm probably going to be enlisting Kevin's help to paint a huge wall that has some pretty ugly wall paper on it too :)
Next week I am in a New Teacher's Fellowship Program or something like that. It's hosted by Metro and is for all new teachers. It's 8-4 Mon through Thursday and then Friday I get to go to school and start working in my room! Yay!
2) Wedding planning- No, we haven't officially set a date yet. We have one in mind and have lots of ideas for what we want to do. We're in the process of putting everything together now. Hopefully in August we will have a date set and a certain special place reserved so the real planning can begin! So far, I'm mostly enjoying this process. There are a few elements I'm not so fond of, but overall, it's pretty fun. It's so fun to put all our ideas together and see what happens! I don't want to say too much before anything is officially planned, but if we get the place we're wanting, the ceremony will be absolutely beautiful!!! I can't wait to find out if we actually get to see that become a reality :)
3) Kevin is moving- Yes, he is moving very soon! This move will mostly consist of his stuff moving into my apartment while he (and my stuff) move into his new place. Confused? Yes, I thought so. Well, he is moving into a house with a friend and my furniture fits better there than his will. So my furniture leaves my apartment and Kevin's comes in. I have to say, it's gonna look pretty funny to anyone in the parking lot. The good news is, hopefully once we get married, most of Kevin's stuff will already be here so should be pretty easy! And I get to rearrange my apartment because there is all new (to me) stuff coming in :) I've already got the 6 boxes of school stuff ready to go so I could make room. I know he's happy to be able to make this change so I'm happy for him. I'm not so happy about how hot it's going to be the 2 weekends that we do this, but I'll be happy for him because I'm a good fiance :) (and b/c I want help painting my classroom!) :)
Well, I guess that's about all for now! I have 2 days of summer left (plus a couple weekends that will be spent moving and painting my classroom and hopefully a trip to Atlanta). I'm going to make the best of it and enjoy it by babysitting and celebrating Kevin's birthday on Friday. Don't forget to send him a birthday wish b/c he's getting old now :)
