I am SO excited to begin another fantastic year at Somerset! I can't believe that this will already be my 4th 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 2 year anniversary this past July. Here is a photo from our wedding day:
Let's not forget about Murray!
You will hear many stories about our little furball throughout the year. He is quite a (lovable) troublemaker!
Over the summer, I did many fun and exciting things! Take a look:
House projects! My husband and I moved to a new home last October and couldn't wait to begin new projects this summer. We love to spend time in the backyard grilling and relaxing, so we decided to build a patio and fence as soon as we could! Here are some pics of the process:
It was a lot of work, but SO worth it when we could invite friends over for BBQs and finally let Murray run free in the yard!
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 goofy picture we captured on the 4th of 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 28th birthday at the lake- birthday hats and all!
The third reason? Football season begins! In my house, we are big fans of football. Even Murray likes to cheer on the Vikes!
We are also BIG gopher fans! My husband and I both graduated from the University of Minnesota, where I spent four years in the marching band rooting on the football team!
Over the summer, I completed my Master of Education degree at the University, as well. Woo hoo!
*Whew* 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 am looking forward to seeing you on our first day of school on Tuesday!
Take care and enjoy the long weekend!
