Wow. What a year in Room 220. I finished up my first year of teaching this past Friday on June 8. It was an incredible year ... challenging, rewarding, tiring, and inspiring. I continued to learn about the teacher I want to be and I learned about the woman I am becoming. All in a place I was not expecting. I did not think that I would be teaching at a school like St. Paul when I graduated from MSU. Then I found myself on the last day of school leaving a place that I now proudly call home.
On top of finishing up my school year, it is now only 6 days away from mine and Bill's wedding! When I started school at MSU I was not in search of a serious relationship, let alone a husband. But then I met Casey, Leah, and Mary, I started going to St. John's, and I then met the man that I will spend the rest of my life with. I never thought I would be 24 and getting married but nothing in the world seems to make more sense than what I have with Bill. Bill and I were sitting in our backyard today talking about the upcoming week and the wedding. I told him that I am so at peace and content with everything. Instead of feeling stressed this week, I feel like I am on a cloud.
God has brought me to such an incredible place in my life. I am not where I expected to be but if I had it my way, instead of God's plan, I know I would not be as happy. Life is beautiful (well, a beautiful mess) when you seek God and try your damnedest to follow his plan.
Thank you for all the love and support this school year. It means everything to me!
