Life is an interesting course...

If you asked me a year ago about how things would be now, I'm not sure what I would have said. Perhaps I'd have guessed life would pretty much have stayed the same. Maybe I would have predicted I'd be at the same job teaching a fairly well behaved class. Never would I have imagined how much I could experience and much more fun life could be. =)
It's amazing how every new experience can open a door to something undiscovered or can reopen a door you thought to be closed for a lifetime.

I feel lucky to have a stable job with a group of students who challenge my teacher of the year title ;). They make me work hard each and every moment to use creative methods of motivating them to learn.
I am fortunate to have friends who make me try new foods that tempt our pallets, despite the costs ;). Yum!
I am amazed to have found someone to love who challenges my everyday schedule...who creates new and exciting moments...who shook my comfort zone and made me realize how much more I want to experience...and who somehow manages to impress all the other people in my life who truly matter.

Life is busy and it always will be. Yes, I get it. Will we seize the day despite the insanity or will we sit on the sidelines and succumb to the pressures that bind us? Hopefully I won't buckle...that is the challenge...

How am I doing on my 5 year plan? Let's see =)

Time to get back to the real world

Man...I've enjoyed my vacation soooooo much, it's even harder than usual going back. My focus is on organization this year and adding a few things to my plans...I'm attempting to step up my game while taking less work home...we shall see if it can be done! =)

Rode a bike yesterday for the first time in nearly 10 years. It was tough getting started again and I was quite fearful of running into people! Despite the fact that my butt is still slightly sore, I would certainly get back on again soon...it's quite refreshing to cover miles in the blink of an eye. =) ....... ok, ok...maybe many blinks ;)

My new printer works like a charm. Thank goodness =). Best Buy did a price match for me and rewarded me $16 in cash =). That's service. Matt installed my new hard drive, so now I have tons of storage space! Hooray! =)

My love for Curry House has been rememebered. We ate there for dinner and while I stuffed myself with curried goodness, I will long for a return visit very soon...yummmmmm =).

The past week was jam packed and I was hardly home...I guess it's good...now, I'll be back to a regular schedule with work, so I hopefully will be home more to just do calm home stuff...maybe =)
