Ann Marie~ don't feel bad about the praxis II...i didn't pass until my third try, and then i blew it out of the water!
the pic of your dream dress looks lovely! when my best friend got married two years ago, I went with her to pick out bridesmaid dresses...I loved david's bridal! Can't wait until I have the opportunity to give them some business
Well, I am thinking about looking for a new teaching job. I love some of the kids I have taught and their families...but I think I have had enough of this small town. One of the main reasons I stayed here (as silly as it sounds) is it was close enough (if 3 and 1/2 hours is close) to the then bf if something was going to happen between us (and we know now that it is not going to happen, so thank goodness I am not stuck somewhere because of him!) without moving somewhere new, and because of a family I basically became part of my fresh. year of college. The school I have been teaching at for the last 4 years is out in the country, full of old people who have taught for at least 25 years, and the principal and school moral has gone down the pooper. The staff has always been a little unfriendly to me (they hadn't hired anyone new in literally 9 years until me and there is a 20 year age difference between me and them) and the two that I did become close to (the librarian and my other PE teacher) are old enough to be older than my parents and they have decided to retire. SOooo...that leaves me with no one to really talk to. The family that I became so close to over the years is moving. I have basically raised their 3 girls, gone on vacations with them, had dinner with them 2 or more times a week and talk to them on a daily basis. It's not that I don't have friends here, cause I do actually have a few
but they are all partnered up with someone and getting married. This town is not a dating town unless you are born and bred here and dating "so and so's" son since college. Some one jokingly said to me "I wouldn't set my own daughter up with someone from here" and they were from here! So....here to thinking about moving to VA! Money-wise I can't do it until next year because of the money I have tied up in retirement here. I need to be here atleast 5 years to make anything off of it. But, I guess I can start thinking, hunh? Being a grown up is scary!
Sorry for babbling....its been a rough night. On to happier thoughts....
