Happy Announcements!

Well where do I begin?  These last few months have been pretty exciting...just in the last three weeks, I've been to three weddings for three wonderful friends, how lucky am I to be able to celebrate with them in this new part of their lives?

I've posted before about some changes that I was looking forward to.  I never really said what those changes were...they had to do with my job and I wanted to be discreet and see how things panned out before talking about it.  So here goes, for the past seven years I have taught elementary music, a job that I never thought I would love so much.  In that time, I've completed a Master's Degree in Elementary Education with an emphasis in classroom teaching and then last fall I completed my certification for Early Childhood Education. Sooo....next year, I will be teaching Kindergarten in a building I have worked in for the last seven years!  I'm really excited about this change, because I think professionally and personally it's important to learn and grow, and without change, that can't happen.  Since finding out I was offered the position, I've been through a variety of emotions; joy, excitement, fear, guilt, nervousness...all which I'm assured are completely natural. :)  Really though, I'm so excited to take this on.  I'm looking forward to having one classroom with one group of children and Kindergarten is such a COOL age.  I've been thinking and planning non-stop.  I'll be working with an outstanding team that I am fortunate enough to already call my friends and staying in a building that is near and dear to my heart.  I couldn't be luckier!


Can you believe there is more news??????

Our family of 3 will be a family of 4 in October. We will be welcoming a little girl into our home and hearts and I cannot tell you how beside myself with joy I am.  A baby is always a joy, of course, and I can't wait to see what this little one brings to our family.

So you can say I'm a little giddy right now.  Keep following me here and on plugged in parents to see what's going on with my new position at work as well as adding a new family member to the mix.  I'll update more, I promise. :)
