Back to School

- for the last time, as a student... well kind of. I am actually not even considered a student, rather a Teacher Candidate. I'm excited for this semester to come and go, but not too excited for the break to already be over. I will be student teaching this semester at East Oktibbeha Elementary school. I will have sixth grade and third grade. I got my first choices on both placements, so I was extremely thrilled! This Saturday is kind of make or break for me. I have to take the Praxis 2. I am pretty nervous. I have to pass it to get my certificate to teach. On Monday, I went to the Wilkinson County School District office to turn in my resume and ended up filling out my application and having an interview. It was my first real post- college interview. I think it went really well. The superintendent asked me several questions about why I want to teach and why I chose Wilkinson County. He said he could not hire me now, obviously, but after I got my praxis scores to him and my certificate number then he would say I was pretty much a shew in. Wilkinson County is my first choice so I hope I pass this test Saturday so I can breath easy until May 1st.

This week = AWESOMENESS!! :)

Wednesday we are having a family Thanksgiving/ Christmas at our apartment. 10 of our closest friends from the Starkville area will be attending. I am cooking a Thanksgiving meal and after we are going all out for Christmas - including wearing Christmas sweaters. 

Thursday Claire is having Kuyper :) so Friday, I will get to see him, as soon as I can make it home!!! I cannot wait to meet him!!!

Saturday I have tickets for the LSU/ Ole Miss game - be jealous :) and they are in the Ole Miss section! Look for me on TV! I will be the purple and gold in the sea of red and blue!!! I am way too excited about this!!!!! 

Then Sunday thru the following Sunday, I will be in Natchez, spending time with my friendsies :) 

Then I only have two more days of Starkville after that and I'm back home for Christmas holidays! Natchez may get a little tired of seeing me :)

Geaux Tigers.... beat those REBELS!!!!!!!!!! :) - did anyone else know that this game officially has a name now? - the Magnolia Bowl! So... I will be in attendance at the first Magnolia Bowl:)

Well I am not asking the question...

Where are you Christmas? because it is right around the corner!!!! :) I only have one more lesson plan to write for the semester :) This semester has seriously flown by! Since I will be heading home for the holidays on December 3, that will not give me much time here to enjoy Christmas decorations. So... we are decorating tonight! It feels so Christmassy here! I LOVE it! Next Wednesday we had plans of having all of our friends over for Thanksgiving dinner, but now we will be having a Thanksgiving dinner with Christmas activities. After dinner we are going to make ornaments for our trees, then we are going to make Christmas cookies. We will finish the night off by eating our cookies and watching a Christmas movie! I am pretty excited about this! 
Well I need to get back to decorating ;)

Geaux Tigers- LSU homecoming this Saturday

I am hoping Alabama wins all of the rest of their games so they can go into the SEC Championship at number one and Florida can KILL them and move up to number two and get into the National Championship!!!

Kaden Lee

I decided to go home this weekend to see Kaden! Here are a few pictures of the sweet little boy that wanted to play with me between 3-6 a.m. Oh well, it was worth it! He was so cute!! 

He was tired of having his picture taken! 

We had a photo shoot!

Silly face! 

Very very silly face! 

Me and Kaden! He was saying Geaux Tigers, just like his Aunt Ashley!
