Free Time

Okay so my whole blogging every day idea was a major flop and I'm a little bit embarrassed that this is my first post in 2 months.  Excuses are not my favorite but I am blaming school and work on that major fail.  Now that I am off of work for the night, I want to go back to November and give a little recap of some of the things that I am thankful for! So here it goes...

Life
Family
Education
Fall (the season)
My job at Hy-Vee
My mother
Friends
My job at the elementary school
My dad
My brother
Good health
A place to live
Food
My cellphone
Snow and winter
Internet
My bed
My winter coat
Diversity
Sunrises
My eyes and the ability to read
Electricity
Sadness and pain
Children
Second chances
Laughter
Being able to go back to Iowa for the holidays

I really enjoyed being able to see and catch up with everyone while I was back in town for Thanksgiving and Christmas!  I am not sure when I will be back again thanks to my work schedule and preschool student teaching schedule, but I will definitely keep in touch! Have a great rest of the week everyone! :)

I'm SO Behind!

I've been so busy lately with school and work that I forgot all about my daily blog posts!  Here are a few of my 'I'm thankful' posts!  Have a great week! :)


Day 2: My Family

My family is amazing.  We might fight about dumb things, but they are still always here for me when I need them!  I can't imagine my life without my family.  They supported me from the beginning with my decision to move and go to school in South Dakota and have still make me feel like it was the best decision of my life.  They are supportive through the good times and the bad times and they always welcome me home with open arms no matter what they have going on that weekend.  They give me advice when I ask for it and even when I don't ask, but I seriously cannot imagine life without them!

 

 

Day 3: My Education

 

I love how fortunate I am for the education that I was able to have growing up and for the education that I am still receiving!  Even though high school was not a great time for me, educationally, I never would have been able to get to where I am today without those struggles.  I have to confess that I was very nervous to come to SDSU because it was so far away and I thought it would definitely be like high school.  I've learned so much from being away from Hudson and being able to become my own person here at SDSU.  Even though there have been struggles, I am finally on the right path and cannot wait to graduate and see what else life has in store for me.
