I am SO excited to begin another fantastic year at Somerset! I can't believe that this will already be my 3rd year teaching in this wonderful community. Time truly does fly when you're having fun!
For our first blog post of the year, I thought I'd share a little bit about myself!
I currently live in Minneapolis with my husband, Bryan, and our beagle named Murray. Bryan and I celebrated our 1 year anniversary this past July. Here is a photo taken outside of our home this past year!
Let's not forget about Murray!
You will hear many stories about our little furball throughout the year. He is quite a (lovable) troublemaker!
I grew up in a close-knit family in Bloomington, MN with my parents (Mike and Nancy) and two older brothers, Jason and Ryan. Jason is pictured left with his wife, Bree, and son, Olin. They are expecting another baby in September! Ryan is pictured on the right hand side with his fiance, Maria. They are also getting married in September! Between the start of school, babies, and weddings...I'd say September is going to be a very exciting month for sure! I can't wait!
Over the summer, I did many fun and exciting things! Take a look:
Wedding season! My husband and I attended/were involved in a whopping 5 weddings over the summer. One of the weddings took place in Livermore, California. We extended the weekend in order to enjoy the sights of San Francisco and nearby vineyards. Here's a fun pic from our hotel in San Fran:
We also tried to spend as many weekends as possible up at our family home in Eveleth, MN. There, we spent time swimming, pontooning, and enjoying the sunshine! Here is a beautiful sunset that I captured in July:
I love August for many reasons. First, it is that time of year when I get absolutely giddy for the upcoming school year! I love to spend the month shopping around for fun classroom goods, planning for exciting lessons, and prepping our classroom for the first day.
The second reason why I love August? It's my birthday month! This year, I celebrated my 27th birthday at the lake- birthday hats and all!
Well, that's enough about ME! Now, I can't WAIT to get to know all of you! I look forward to many fun memories of all of the adventures we will experience together. I hope to see you all at our pre-assessments next week!
Take care!
