Hooray!

So I am teaching for 2 almost full days this year at Inner Harbor East Academy! I am excited, but nervous at the same time! Wish me luck, my first day is tomorrow!!

Quick recap, but more...

The past 6 months have been crazy and good with all the ups and downs that life throws at us. We successfully completed Turner's first year of preschool and he is moving on to the 4's this year. Reese will also be going to preschool starting in the 2's because she is a little quieter and a total mommy's girl. I think that the socialization for her will be a really good thing.

Ryan and I celebrated our 5 year wedding anniversary in July! I am so lucky to be married to Ryan. He is the most thoughtful, sweet and caring man. I am so lucky to have him in my life and I look forward to the next 5 years.

Turner turned 4 in July too. He is all boy. He loves sports and picking on his little sister, but will stand up for her to anyone else. He is the greatest son and big brother we could ever ask for. He is the big brother that I always wanted when I was growing up. I cant wait to see how their relationship continues to grow in the future.

Reese broke part of her foot in July. She was in a cast for 3 weeks and now has a little limp, but we all survived. I would have sworn that Turner would have been my first in a cast, but I was mistaken! Also, a little fun tidbit... they make water proof casts now. It was $60 more, but TOTALLY worth every penny!!

I have been working a lot at work teaching all the little kiddos about art, and also working hard in other areas of my life. I have lost almost 40lbs since January! I am addicted to the gym and even hired a personal trainer who is kicking my butt 2 times a week. I feel great about myself and I have more energy than I ever imagined I could have!

Upcoming for us is the kids first days of school, I am PTA president, continuing to teach, Ryan working, and having fun in all we do! We look forward to blogging and posting pics a lot more frequently now that the laptop is here and easy to get to! YAY!

Finally!!!!

I finally have a new computer after mine being broke forever! I will finally be able to reenter the blogging world and catch up on what everyone else is doing! YAY!!!!!!!
