Some days I can not STOP thinking about my wedding and it is still a year and half away! I am so excited because we have the venue, the DJ, Live Band, cake, Catering, Dessert, Late Night Snack, and photographer! We have a bunch of other things to plan but we have a timeline and most of the wedding will be done but the end of the summer. I plan on going dress shopping this summer and planning to spend the day looking and exploring all the stores downtown with my besties! The only thing that I can not decide is a videographer. Do you have any suggestions? There is such a price range from each videographer and I can't decided the best deal. Thanks for your help in advance!

What is the one show you can watch over and over again? My shows are basically identical: Friends and New Girl. Both shows are about a group of friends in their 20s and 30s going through life. Every time I watch the shows, it makes me laugh no matter how many times I have seen it. My family makes so much fun of me because I could go through each episode and tell it line by line, or I will laugh before the funny part because I know what is coming. It is just a comfort for me HAHA
Rainy mornings and a cup of coffee brings such a calm to my body. I love looking out our big picture window and watching the world go on with the day. Saturday mornings are for relaxing during the school year. Everyone knows that during the school year, I will be relaxing until noon each weekend. Truly it brings so much joy to me to just relax on the weekends.
Only being the age I am, 24, I have come to realize I have been through a lot that people can relate to at all ages... uninvolved parents, parents in and out of prison and drugs, living with grandparents who passed before I was the first one to graduate from a university in our HUGE family, etc. Now, I am not looking to give a sob story or gain empathy, but I want to state how I feel somedays. I have come to realize my crazy experiences are a blessing and a curse. I am always that friend that you can use for a shoulder to cry on, someone to come to for advise, or just a listening ear. I have been told multiple times that I "act" a lot older than what I am and I have an old soul. I wish what I have been through was happier events; however, I accept the unfortunate events lead me to be who I am today. It is just really hard on days that others really rely on me, adults and students. It brings back memories and the feelings I had to figure out and manage during those times. It is unprocessed trauma and I accept it. I just wish that some days I could shut it off and just be a "normal" person and have people check in. Being a teacher, I see the trauma that students go through and this is what inspired this post. I know they are going through a lot and I am always here for them but I want to be the best I can. I just have to remind myself it is okay to feel the way I do after helping others with trauma. Keeping up the good is all I have to remind myself of doing.
Teaching on a holiday can be the best or can just be super hard. Today, it went down the super hard road. I planned all of these fun activities; however, the kiddos were having a lot of trouble; so, we did not get to do everything. The students were all over the place... Was it a full moon? Anyways, we did get to some of the projects! We made a fortune teller with jokes in it! They LOVED the jokes. Seeing the smiling and the fun really reminded me that even through holidays, teaching is 1000% worth it.
I am totally read for spring break. The kiddos are totally ready for spring break. All of the research says February is the worse month to teach... however, I completely disagree! March feels as long as January! I have a lot of fun things planned in the next week but we also have a lot of assessments. I am hoping the kiddos and I make it!
I started listening to a podcast called "Bored teachers". It is definitely targeted at a younger teaching audience. It is so funny to hear that others around my age are experiencing the same things as me throughout the states. The few episodes that I have listened to, they have talked about was the pandemic, self-care, and teacher fails. I truly know that I am not the only one struggling with dealing with gaps from the pandemic and self-care. It is nice to hear other's opinions about these topics.
So the past three days has been crazy with the movies. I have watched a lot personally, but now as it is lunch time in school, we are watching a movie. The kiddos are currently watching all of the toy stories. They love it! I am shocked with how many of my students have not seen these movies. Toy story will always have a special place in my heart and now it will in theirs too!
So on top of the movie date night, we are also planning on going to see "Marry Me" with my Grandma. With the cold and just overall being busy, it has been hard to find quality time with my Grandma. Honestly, it is crazy to say that because we live in the same house; however, my Grandma is always on the move, between work, dance classes, and her weekly hang outs with friends, our schedule never match! I am very excited to see this movie today and go to dinner with her.
My fiancé has been wanting to see the new Batman movie for a week (since it came out). I decided to surprise him with tickets and a nice date night out! Now, if you ask me if I am interested in seeing the new Batman movie, my answer was "I am excited for the popcorn". With this being said, I even preordered the popcorn because I am ridiculous. I will say the movie was actually really good. We were going to go out for dinner after; however, I ate so much popcorn I didn't have room! So instead, we went to Cheesecake Factory, ordered a slice of the Oreo cheesecake, and came home to our pup. I would say this is a pretty successful date night!
