BIG Update (like, belly big)...

Ok, so clearly I'm not the best at keeping a blog. I thought moving away from family and friends and starting our new adventure in Indianapolis would be enough to really get me going on this. Well, I guess it wasn't. So now I hope that our next adventure will help me keep you in the loop! Most of you already know, due to facebook, my mom's twitter account, word of mouth, etc., that we are expecting our first little one! We are so excited! I am due Aug. 31st, so it's really coming up quickly. It is a boy and we have a name all picked out and ready to go. But...you won't find the name out until he is born. Our fun little secret. It's a good one though!

In other news, life in Indy has been good so far. We are adjusting nicely. We found a great church with a WONDERFUL mix of people. We got plugged into a Connection Group and are making some great friends. Marc plays basketball with the Pastors at the church probably 4-5 times per week (when he doesn't have to work). He's loving the chance to workout while doing something he enjoys.

Work is going well. I can't believe the school year is over in four days! It has been quite the ride. I've been responsible for a lot more than I was at Wheatley and I've learned a lot. I currently have 9 wonderful students and will be starting out with 7 in August. Next year will be way different. First of all, I won't be there for 3 months, assuming our little guy arrives on time. Second of all, there will be a lot of changes in the structure of my room. I've learned a lot about myself and how I want my classroom to be run. Unfortunately, it took me this whole year to figure it out and put an action plan into place. I'm excited to step up my game and become a better teacher and manager.

Okay, for your enjoyment...here is a pic. This was 2 months ago...to think I thought I was huge then! Ha!
