I am SO excited to begin another fantastic year at Somerset! I can't believe that this will already be my 6th 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 4 wonderful years of marriage 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!
This summer, we tried to spend as many weekends as possible up at our family cabin in Eveleth, MN. There, we spent time swimming, pontooning, and enjoying the sunshine! Here is one of my favorite pictures of a sunset captured on Ely Lake:
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 goodies, planning for exciting lessons, and prepping our classroom for the first week.
The second reason why I love August? It's my birthday month! This year, I celebrated my 30th birthday on August 10th. We had a fun backyard party with family and friends. It was a great time!
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:
In 2014, I completed my Master of Education degree at the University, as well.
*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, September 6th!
Take care and see you soon!
