I'm Blessed

So, I'm doing my scrapbook and realizing what an amazing year 2010 has been... first off January 1st, We won a brand new grill from Fox Sports Grill at Midnight on new years, April 15th I got engaged to the most amazing man that i have had the honor of being with for 4 1/2 years, 2 weeks later, May 1st my big sister gets married, 2 weeks after that I got a teaching job and in a month my mom comes to help me set up my first classroom and go wedding dress shopping.... i love my life, my family and my friends and i feel so blessed! Thank you for everyone in my life! I love you all and can't wait to see what the rest of the year may bring!!

Summer

 Jake playing one of his many guitars! 

Summer time is here! Since i'm not teaching till august i'm teaching with Drama Kids right now. We have camps every week for about 4 hours a day! I love my job it's so much fun! Jake is still teaching guitar with Music and Arts but recently (like 2 weeks ago) got weekends off!! for the past year and a half he has taught every Saturday and Sunday 10-5.... it has sucked :) Not being able to go anywhere on the weekends has been hard since they are my only days off. Since he has gotten the weekends off we were able to go to Austin to visit his parents and go to "McKinney Trade Days" it's a HUGE outdoor flea market! It was so fun! Hot... but fun. I've lived here in Texas for a year and 1 month now and I have my likes and dislikes. Likes: I love how all the kids say "yes mam" or "no mam" and the people just have that southern charm! Also getting this teaching job makes me LOVE Texas ha ha! The only thing I really miss about Arizona (except for my family of course) is the scenery. I never really understood why Scottsdale was so pretty, now i do. I miss looking out at the mountains and the cactus. It's so flat here! But I must say I love all the green tree's here! Yes I have caught myself saying "y'all" and you know what the kids respond to it more! If I say " you all need to sit down" they are like ok right Miss Erin, but if I say "y'all need to sit down!" they listen! It's great! 

Over all Texas has been a hard but good move. I'm with the love of my life, we have a great apartment, I GOT A JOB!!!!, we are going to be able to save some money and hopefully get into a house, and i've met some great people! Arizona will always be my home but i'm happy being a Texas girl!

Drama Kids

I have been blessed to be apart of a wonderful organization called Drama Kids International where I have been able to combine my love of theater and teaching. On Saturday we had 16 performances!!! Long day but a wonderful day! Here are some pictures I took of my kiddo's!
