Well what do ya know...

I FINALLY got a job!

I'm going to be teaching 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 year old's (god bless me, what am I thinking?) at The Goddard School starting Monday. I will be learning from the teacher in there now for a couple weeks and will then transition to the Lead Teacher position. The school seems wonderful so far! Everyone there seems really nice. Its not a daycare, it's a school...SACs accredited and everything and I will be writing lesson plans and stuff, so it makes me happy that I will using my degree!

Of course it is just a stepping stone to hopefully get into an elementary school next fall, but I'm excited! I can't wait to meet my kids and start getting to know them! By the end of this I will probably be able to potty train blindfolded, figure out ways to discipline without time out, hopefully still have some hair left on my head...and hopefully teach them something in the process.

I'm so grateful for this opportunity and look forward to updating y'all soon! Wish me luck!

I la la la looooove to paint!

Just wanted to show a few pictures I painted for my new place...I had a lot of fun doing these! Let me know if anyone wants me to paint something for them!!!! I would LOVE to do it :) I love using metallic paints...which you will see in all of the paintings I did.

This picture below is actually a sticker. My mom gave it to me when we moved in and I thought it was so cute!
Don't forget to look at my other new post below!

Sorry!

Sorry I have been such a bad blogger lately! I honestly just haven't really had much to talk about! I'm still looking for a job, but I had an interview today at a preschool so hopefully something will work out with that! I'll take what I can get at this point!

I finally moved into the new townhome and I love it! Everything is coming together really nicely and I think I will really be happy hear for a while. Here are lots of pictures...keep in mind it looks much better in person! I'll just show you the downstairs for now...
Welcome to my home! :)
This is the little foyer area...finally got my diploma framed and hung up! (Thames on the left and mine on right) How cool is that clock!?This is looking into my TINY kitchen! It is really small, but it works!


This is the dining room area...
The living room of course!
The view from the couch...it looks a lot better in person...
