My how fast this semester has flown by....

I was sitting here watching the Georiga/Auburn game and was thinking...what can I do now?..so I decided to blog since I have not in SUCH a LONG time! I know that Mr. Tommy and Mrs. Leslie are going to be excited that I am writing this...lol.

But yes, I haven't blogged since July. That is so crazy, but there is a reason why. For one, I started my student teaching at the beginning of this semester and then I had no time for anything but that. I thought that I might be able to take a Saturday or Sunday and write something, but even my weekends were overtaken by writing lesson plans and planning for the next week. So throughout the entire semester, I was busy doing nothing but school and planning. Student teaching went alright. There were ups and downs, good days and bad days, but I guess that is how jobs are always going to be. I really did enjoy being able to take control of the classroom and teach, but overall, there were just too many other things that made me realize that teaching in whole group instruction is not for me. I know that you all want to know the reason why, but you will just have to ask me because I don't want to say anything bad on here and it could take forever. But I know that God has a plan and He is already placing people in my life and situations in my life to help guide me in the right direction for what He has planned for me and my future job. I am so excited to see what happens next semester since I am taking it off to prepare for the wedding. I am just praying that God will show me what He wants and will just put me directly in the place that me and Thomas need to be. I am graduating in a few weeks and will be done with school for a little bit. But again, I am excited to see what the future holds!

So with the wedding, things are going great! I have all the big things planned from the place, to the food, to the pictures, to the dj, to the videographer, to the cake baker and to the florist. But I do know that there are so many other things that me, my mom and Thomas need to do to get everything ready for the big day!! Me and Thomas did get our engagement pictures taken at the beginning of October and we love them!! Our photographers are the Altmix's. I knew Kate since college and when her and her husband became photographers, I just knew I had to have them as mine!! They are truly awesome people and I am glad that they get to spend the big day with us as well. Like I said above, I am taking next semester off to finish finalizing everything for the big day. I will be going home and helping my mom finish everything that we need to finish. I am so looking forward to this big day because I get to spend the rest of my life with the most amazing person that God has given to me to be my husband!!

I will definitely try and keep things updated through the holidays and next semester as we prepare for the big wedding day! Keep checking in!
