Now What

Well I officially completed my student teaching today and it was a happy/sad moment, but now its back to work and actually getting a decent pay check YAY! Anthony got a job at a t mobile corprate store which should be good...good benefits and good pay. Now I need to start my senior project that is due in a week and a half. Wish I would have started that sooner, but I procrastinate everything. I have my district interview on the 6th of april and im so nervous! After that I can start applying and I hope I get a job soon because I am stressing over it. I sure am going to miss the kids I was teaching, I really don't see how teachers do it every year. Well im getting off work now and im going to go enjoy my weekend so i hope you all do the same!

wanna play catch up?!?!

Well I finally got caught up (mostly)at work, since im only here like 10 hours a week i get behind. Luckily I have bonnie to cover me while im off student teaching.so i thought while i have a minute i will update. Everything is going perfectly. I have gotten use to my busy schedule and actually am enjoying it, but its coming to an end in a week and a half. I will officially be done with my student teaching a week from friday and honestly i am sad, but happy at the same time. Mostly im excited to see a normal pay check, other than that i don't want to stop student teaching, it really shows me that i am going into the right field for my career. I absolutely love teaching, though some days are rough, there really is nothing more i would rather be doing with my life. Other than that a few things have happened....We went to Vegas for nascar (like we do every year) it was so much fun and i loved spending time with my family, they are so amazing ALL of them. It amazes me how different each person in my family is, but we all get along and have so much fun together. Meanwhile in Vegas anthony and I had our one year, Well kind of. We got married on leap day so technically we only have an aniversary once every four years, which is great because then we don't have to celebrate it every year and get each other gifts and all that crap. But every four years we are going to do something BIG we decided.

Well our first year of marriage was honestly different than i expected. I knew anthony for 10 yrs before we started dating and we were glued at the hip for a year and a half before we got married, so i thought it wouldn't be any different even though everyone told me it was. It really was a lot different and a lot harder, but in a good way I wouldn't change any of it for the world. And I honestly couldn't dream of being with anyone besides anthony for the rest of my life. Every trial we have gone through in this first year has only made us stronger as a couple and as individuals. So even though so many people said it is so hard I think it is only hard in a good way. I am so lucky to have such an amazing husband. He is by far the biggest sweetheart I have ever met in a man. He does anything i want and always sacrifices the things that he wants so he can give me something i want even if i dont ask for it, he picks up on little things and knows when i need or want something really bad so he goes and does it for me. he truly is the love of my life and i am so happy to wake up to him every morning knowing that he is the one that will always be there. ya enough with the mushy crap! so i thought i would post some fun pictures of our wedding day and our reception. our wedding day was feb 29, 08 and our reception was may 1 08. We did it this way becuase i was in school and couldn't plan a wedding and we just wanted to be married so we just went to vegas with our families and had a ceremony in a chapel that my dad's friend owns. it ended up being beautiful and i couldn't have asked for more.






Now here is some of the reception photos. I still havent gotten the professional pictures back so hopefully since it has been over a year i will get them soon, but these pics are some my family members took.Honestly i could have done without the reception, big parties where the attention is on me is just not my thing but it really was fun overall. and still i thank both of our parents for everything they do for us still and everything they did for us getting the wedding plans together especially dealing with anthony and i. we are the biggest procrastinators in the world so our poor moms had the extra stress of worrying if we were going to take care of our "jobs" anyway hope you enjoy the pictures.








Ok yes I know this is a blog overload, but take what you can get alright. here are some pics from vegas...and yes my hair is now dark red so tell me what you think.

Back to Life

WOW have I been lazy. Over the holidays I had two weeks off of work and had no school. Anthony also pretty much had two weeks off becuase he was in between jobs. We really did nothing!!! I had such a great Christmas with our families other than that we just stayed home and did NOTHING. It was a little pathetic, but I really enjoyed it. On New years eve we were going to go out with some friends, but after getting all ready we decided that it would be fun to just stay home and just watch movies and it was by far the best new years i have ever had. We took pictures since we both got all ready to go out so when i remember to bring my camera i will post them. Now its back to student teaching and working and school BLAH....no really i love it and I'm excited to be back in class with my teacher and students they are so amazing! Anthony started his new job on monday and it looks like it is going to be awesome! he took this semester off of school so that i could quit my job and just focus on student teaching and school, but i didn't end up quitting becuase really i would be lost without a job and some extra cash that i know i earned. I'm just not satisfied with anthony handing me his check, it makes me feel bad and plus i know there will plenty of years for that when we have kids. But his new job is going great and he is loving it and he is happy which makes me happy. Now the next step is graduating may 1st and getting anthony graduated next spring. Wow time really flies, i don't feel like i should be graduating college, high school maybe but not college. I guess i have to grow up sometime. well i hope you all had a great Christmas and New Years!!!

BLAH

Have you ever felt like nothing is going your way? I seriously feel like because i didn't listen to my intuitions a while back everything is catching up to me now and i am, i guess, getting what i deserve. So what im basically saying is when you have a feeling about something LISTEN TO IT. Most of the time you have the feeling for a reason, sadly I didn't listen to mine and once again am going through something I wouldn't be if I would have just listened to my feelings at the time. Well I guess live and learn right? Anyway hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and a great weekend!

Update

Well Thanksgiving was perfect, we spent a few hours at my parents house where my family ate, talked and I mostly played with Constance, Gesenia, Braylee, Anelie and Avery. Then we went to Anthony's parent's house and ate some more and sang Christmas songs and made a cd and took family pictures. I have the most amazing family and most amazing in laws. I really couldn't be more thankful for everything they do for us. Here are some of the family pics.

Our little family.

Close up

The Meyers/Turchetta family

and another, yes Ralphy is a part of the fam too

After Thanksgiving break I had a million school projects due so school was my life, now I just have finals next week, which I have done everything I need to so I have no stress...ahhhh so nice.

Isabella got to come home on Tuesday!!! I can't believe it. She is doing so good and is home with her twin sister. It really makes me count my blessings and thank God for everything we have! I have the most beautiful 6 nieces in the entire world and wish i could spend everyday with them like I use to. I love my family so much, both sides, I was born into (in my eyes) the perfect family, my brothers all married perfect girls and I married into the best family I could have ever imagined. I just fell in love with them from day one and they treat me like their own (sometimes better haha) anyways I'm looking forward to Christmas and spending more time with our families. This Sunday we are having a gingerbread house making contest with my family and santa is stopping by to see the grandkids. Im so excited. so im sure i will have pictures of that on monday. I also have a million pics of Isabella and Gesenia that I need to post, they are just on my camera. So monday I will do a picture overload im sure!!!
