I’m going to Lexington this weekend to stay with Becky. I can’t wait. This week hasn’t been bad, but it sucks that we have to go a whole five days without seeing one another. I know, I know. We have service men and women who go months without seeing their loved ones…But it still bites.

All is quiet here right now, as it is break time and there are no kids. Everything must have been very noisy today because I find the quietness unusually unsettling. Oh well.

For the portion of the world who doesn’t know, I’m engaged to Rebecca Kim Gross. I actually popped the question on July 30. It goes without saying, I’m very, very happy. I can honestly say I’m happier now than I have ever been in my life. I don’t really believe in soul mates, but I think Beck is probably as close to the concept as I could imagine. She thinks my happy dance is cute… ‘Nuff said.

Click here if you want to look at my digital teaching portfolio. It is supposed to represent my teaching from the last year. While I think it’s ok, I don’t think it adequately reflects how much I care about helping my students learn. Teaching is serious business and there is a lot riding on what is taught in the classroom. I think the majority of KY teachers do not take it seriously enough.

So, for all my readers (both of you), I guess I should post a little note to let you know I’m not dead. I’ve just been really busy. Let’s see…I have bought a place in Jackson and I’ve been trying to get moved in. I’ll eventually post some pics, but not right now. I just finished the content area capstone class. (It’s a whole teaching thing.) I’m now Microsoft MOS certified (highly overrated). And I’ve found the love of my life :) This is a lot of information without a lot of elaboration, but that’ll have to wait until I get my phone going at the new place…Trust me, there’s plenty more to tell. I just need a little time.
