Inspired by Sara

So, today I saw a blog kept by one of my very good friends, Sara Vandenbos, and thought maybe I could try it, too. It's not that I'm all that exciting, but this is way more fun than creating lesson plans for student teaching :).

Next week begins "dead week" at the University of Idaho. I don't have any exams this week and most professors are just reviewing all the super exciting things we learned this semester. I only have one final next week during finals week, so I'm not too stressed this semester.

Lately, my to-do lists look a lot different than they have in the past. For instance: license new truck, send Christmas cards, buy stocking stuffers, pack up apartment. The old to-do lists included a lot of: homework, study, turn in paper, study, go to club meeting, etc. I decided not to stress anymore this semester and it's actually working out pretty well ;). I should have decided to do that a long time ago.

For a basic overview of life at this point, I am just finishing my last semester in Moscow at the University of Idaho. Next semester I'll in be Castleford, ID (middle of no-where Twin Falls County) student teaching high school agriculture. I'll be living with my parents for the first time since I graduated high school. I'll come back up to Moscow for graduation May 16th. Richard finishes his active duty contract with the Marine Corps sometime between June and July and we'll finally get to start Phase 3. (Phase 1: Dating, Phase 2: Engaged & Married, living apart, Phase 3: Finally living together, Phase 4: Beautiful Kiddos!)

This is a pretty long first post so I'll leave more for later.
