Three Years!

Wow, I cannot believe it has been three years since I posted anything on here. I pretty much forgot about the fact that I even had a blogger account! So what, you may ask, have I been doing for the past three years? I'm not going to go into every single little detail, but in a nutshell, I've been working at the DJCC preschool -- this is my 5th year there. Pretty cool! I have been working in the 2 year old room for 4 of those years. I started to not like it so much last year because of the lead teacher in my room. She became really difficult to deal with and basically acted as though she was everyone's boss. Well in October of 2008 she revealed a little secret to me...she was pregnant! I was very happy for her, as she and her husband had been trying to have a child. I asked her if she was going to come back after she had the baby and she said she wasn't sure.

Fast forward to May 2009. Gina went on maternity leave about 3 weeks before her due date. She said she was thinking about coming back in the fall, but wasn't sure. I was pretty sure she wasn't going to come back. And I don't blame her; she wanted to spend time with her baby! So we bid her farewell on May 15th (or a date close to that) and then it was just Miranda (co-teacher) and myself. Audrey had one of the girls who works at the preschool in the summers and winters work in our room. Miranda and I had always gotten along great and I was excited for the upcoming school year. We had yet to find a new lead teacher, but I was just happy Miranda was going to be there... errrr ... maybe not. She told me that she was going to be taking some classes up at OSU in Columbus so she was going to be leaving. Well that's just great; now it was just me! By early August, Audrey FINALLY found a lead teacher for our room. She is the best! I don't think I have ever gotten along so well with anyone before. We work really well together. As for a 3rd teacher, well we had a girl there who stayed all the way until December. Then she quit. Apparently her husband and kids weren't too happy that she was working again. So now we sort of have a rotating 3rd person in our room. It has, for the most part, worked out pretty well though!

Okay so that was work. I am now no longer single! I have a boyfriend whom I met on JDate.com. We've been together for 2 1/2 years. Our anniversary is September 29th. :) So I'm pretty happy! The only thing is, he lives 45 minutes away. He passed the Bar in 2008, but because of what happened with the economy, hasn't been able to find a job as a lawyer anywhere. It isn't really his passion anyway; higher education is. So he's going to grad school for a year and is hopefully going to get a job as a graduate assistant or maybe even something else. So the future is looking bright so far!

I guess that's about it. Oh and one more thing...I am really excited for August...why? Because I am going to my first Clay Aiken concert! I've been a fan of his since he was on AI, but have never been able to get to a concert...until now! Very excited about that. All right, definitely enough of this.

Ciao!
