It's Been A Minute...

I started this Blog with the intent on keeping up with it and haven't done such a good job doing so. I need to start again, and today is the day!
Since September, many things have happened in life...
I turned a year older in October...My husband finally came to live down South with me after finding a job with his company...he has to commute an hour, works swing shift to make even close to what he was making and has mid-week days off. The worst possible schedule and situation but he did it for our family and I love him for that. It's not forever---that's for sure...we have been through a lot and like everything else, we will make it through.   
I'm currently doing my student teaching. Mr. Billy Hill was my AP English teacher back in 12th grade and he's been gracious enough to let me come into his world for 12 weeks and learn from him as my Mentor Teacher. I have been able to pick his brain and really be submersed in his teaching style which is really alternative from the by the book teachers that are in a lot of classrooms these days. I am about 1/2 way through and I am excited to have had this opportunity and grateful to him.
After this I will be able to graduate with my Masters in Secondary Education...in fact, I just registered to walk in the graduation ceremony in Phoenix June 26th, 2010. I am elated to be able to go there and actually walk with the rest of my classmates, though being an Online student, I don't really know anyone else!! Still, this is about me and my moment---and I can't wait.
We are living at my parents house while still looking for a house...it will happen when it's supposed to happen...I believe in fate.
We have spent some great quality time with my nephews and family, though I wish it was more sometimes. Tyler cracks me up every single time we talk and I love being able to watch him grow up. Evan just turned one and is equally fun to be around...I can't wait till he can talk too!
I have done a lot of reflecting on people and friends in the last few months too. I have lost some friends for reasons that I don't understand and can't even explain. I have also made some relationships that I hope turn into great life long friendships. I am still trying to conquer the idea that I can't change anyone but myself and I have to love the people I love for who they are and have faith in them enough to know that they are being the best them that they can be too. I am an eternal "fixer" so this is a hard concept, but I'm trying---and I will continue.
Ok...this is a good start...let the randomness start tomorrow...
