Fall is here!
Fall is FINALLY here and I am loving the weather! Casey and I have been keeping the door and windows open in the mornings and evenings because it's just so darn nice outside. We are both very excited about the holidays and have decided to have a Halloween party! Casey's mom's birthday is on Halloween as well so we decided that it will be a Birthday/Halloween party complete with costumes, cake and other goodies! So glad that October 31st falls on a Saturday this year.

Being a teacher = BUSY!
So if you were wondering, I did survive my first full week as a Kindergarten teacher! I have a few updates but will definitely post more later!
First of all - I LOVE MY SCHOOL! I am working at Willbern Elementary in Cy-Fair ISD and I have to say that I have the best coworkers, bosses, and kids a girl could ask for. My students are hilarious and SO sweet, my teaching team is so supportive and welcoming, other teachers and staff have been so nice and complimentary, and my bosses have been amazing as well. I have a huuuuuge classroom that is enclosed (not common in CFISD) with a toooooon of storage space. I will post some before and after pictures when my classroom is completely done!
One thing that I have learned - teaching is an expensive profession to get into. As much as the school provides for us, there is still a ton that the teacher has to provide. Books are the most expensive thing so if you have any books that you are looking to give away or donate - please let me know!
I am still working at Loft for a few more weeks and then I'll probably have to call it quits because I just don't have enough time. I will be sad to give up the discount, but that's just the way it is!
More later!

I'm a Kindergarten Teacher!!!
HOLY CRAP!! Today I went in for my interview for a Kindergarten position at Willbern Elementary in Cy-Fair ISD and they HIRED ME! The interview went amazingly well and the teachers, principal, and AP are awesome. I know now why God hasn't provided me with a job until now and that's because I was meant to work at Willbern with the amazing Kindergarten team! I have not stopped smilling since I left and I am SO EXCITED!
So the bigger news is - I START TOMORROW!! I was expecting to start a week or two from now, but they want me to start tomorrow! Of course I won't be teaching until Thursday, but I will be doing observation and doing lesson planning tomorrow! WHOA! I cannot believe how blessed I am!
Tonight I am going to girl's night with Jessica and Kelli but I will probably be up half the night working on stuff for my classroom. Wish me luck!

Casey's Grandad
Casey's Grandad Page has been fighting cancer for a few months now and it looks like his fight is going to be coming to and end here in the next few days. Please keep Casey's family in your prayers during this difficult time. Casey expects to be flying out to Virginia in the next few days so please pray for him to get there safely and return home safely as well.
