this is a new year

sorry for the delay....i haven't posted at all in 2010, and here it is being april already! i'll brief you with what's been happening this semester:

• i had my last placements before student teaching. one was alright, but the other one was amazing. i decided i love teaching k-3 the best!
• josh came to goshen! it's been fun having him live downstairs with dan and kris and hanging out with 211 all the time.
• i've made some amazing friendships with the people in my education classes, especially leanndra, ellie, suzanne, and katelyn.
• my grandpa got a new kidney!
• i've become obsessed with twitter.
• i decided to move home next year.
• my student teaching placement will be in a kindergarten class at chamberlain elementary in goshen.
• i just finished writing my children's book...it took forever but i'm really proud of it!
• i'm wearing dresses more, which is so much fun!
• i spend easter in chicago with gina.
• i'm in love with my new ipod.
• i worked at some winter youth retreats at amigo.
• glee is finally back! and i'm gleeful again!
• and probably the biggest highlight so far....TAYLOR SWIFT!!!! i went to her concert last month and had the best time ever!

So there you have it! a look into my life over the past few months. i'll try to keep updating more, even though kristin is the only one who ever looks at this...haha
