I passed the Praxis Principles of Learning and Teaching test! I’m extremely happy because I was 100% sure that I had failed!  I am one graduate class away from being a fully-certified, Rank II teacher. I’m so happy! For a whole month, the thought of failing that test has been at the back of my mind, which has made me somewhat grumpy. I would like to appologize to Becca and my family for having to put up with my fear of failure. I love you all!

With tomorrow being Christmas Eve, I wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Wonderful New Year!

This morning I wrapped Christmas presents. This is one activity that I like to do year after year. I love being able to buy things for those who I care about. I know, I know…Christmas isn’t supposed to be about the presents. For me, it isn’t. It’s about family: The food and the company are always great. But seeing someone’s face light up as they open something thoughtful is priceless. I like to buy gifts that people really want, which doesn’t always mean something expensive.

Hey Jeremy! I heard you come to Trav’s site a lot. It’s true I post on here a lot more than he does, but I like, get in trouble if I don’t post everyday. He’s always like “You haven’t posted since 2 days ago, you should post…” Check out the “Name Change” post in the archives to see the new name of Trav’s site! Hope to meet you soon!
