Well this has been forever since my last post but that is ok. Anyone who reads this probably already knows what is going on in my life. But in case you don't, here is the recap.
-Got married in July
-Teaching in my position for the second year and generally in love with my job. I love the job, hate the adults who try to change it.
-Have a puppy dog as of Labor Day. 5 year old english bulldog named Charlotte.
-Life is difficult and wonderful I don't remind myself enough about the second part when the first part is happening.
-the end, nothing else to really report on.
What I know so far:
Marriage
There are things that people try to tell you about marriage and you never believe them. Believe them.
No matter how long you date someone, marriage will still make you surprised. Good and bad. Remember that you agreed to both.
You can't always know your personal view on something until you are married to someone and have to share those views and opinions.
Marriage is wonderful.
Dogs
Poodles are much less smelly than bulldogs.
Poodles are prissy.
Poodles don't cuddle, they claim you as theirs.
Bulldogs fart, a lot, and it smells bad
Bulldogs are cuddly and will never leave your side unless there is someone close by who looks like they cuddle better than you.
Bulldogs are stubborn
Use a harness when walking your dog. It helps bad behavior. (experience with poodles and bulldogs)
Dogs are wonderful.
Teaching Elementary school
Kids are funny
Adults who don't work with little kids every day don't get them
Adults who teach older kids don't realize how much little kids need you
People in administrative roles may have forgotten things that should be most important in elementary education
You can't teach a 6 year old in the same way as a 13 year old
You can have the same schedule every day with the same kids and it will never be the same and always unpredictable.
There are times you are wanting to do something important and someone needs you so much that you have to do that instead.
Kids want you to approve of them.
Kids love music and no matter how talented or not they are, they still love it and will try it. Adults love music and wont try it.
Teaching music to children is wonderful.
