I am linking up with Bloghoppin' on her Teacher Week 2013. This will be my first year teaching and blogging at the same time so I am really excited about this linky.
I would normally do Made It Monday but today was my first day back at work (pre-planning week) and I made it through the day. I don't quite think that counts.
The schedule for this linky is here:
1. I was born in Californian, grew up in Michigan with my summers in Texas, and now I live in Florida. I spent the most time in Michigan but it never felt like home, Florida feels like home to me. I feel like just smelling the salt air and seeing the big sky refreshes my soul.
2. I have been married for almost 8 years but my husband and I have been together for almost 14 years! Yikes. He still makes me laugh, especially when I don't want to.
3. I am an only child and I am raising an only child. One and Done! We were planning on having 2 but once we had our daughter, we knew our family was complete and I haven't wanted a baby since.
4. I was horribly terrified of sharks as a child. I couldn't close my eyes in the shower without hearing the jaws music and freaking out. That was until my husband convinced me to take up SCUBA diving (I can't pass up a good deal) and they are one of my favorite animals.
5. I am constantly getting hurt because I think I am more capable of doing things than I really am. "Hey I can jump over that log that is 4 feet off the ground!" No I can't I am only 5 ft. tall.
6. I am runner. I have run 3 half marathons and I am doing 1-2 more this school year. I am definitely doing the Walt Disney World Princess Half Marathon this year. In fact I am running the princess 10K the day before so that I can get my pictures taken with the characters and not feel guilty for stopping during the half. I have a very Ricky Bobby mind set on running, if I am not great then I suck. Trying to work through that one!
7. I have a dog ( my first ever) a black lab named Parker and an orange tabby cat named Hemi. The get along fantastically, in fact Hemi loves Parker the most out of anyone in the family, unless he is hungry and then he loves who ever is in the kitchen.
8. I used to be a magazine junky until I started blogging and following blogs this summer. I can't remeber the last time I read a magazine.
9. I originally wanted to be a marine biologist and train dolphins at Seaworld. I was three years into my marine biology degree when I realized it was not the life I wanted and changed majors to education focusing on science. I have taught Earth/Space science, Biology, and Physical Science. Last year was my first year teaching Marine Science and I am in love. I get to spend almost every day sharing my love of the ocean with kids who may have never even been to the beach even though we live in Florida. I truly have my dream job, no matter what drama comes from working in education.
10. If money were no object I would love to own a little nautical boutique. Chevrons, anchors, and sea shells everywhere. I almost got an anchor tattoo last year but realized Miley Cyrus had the same one so I vetoed that real quick. I remain tattoo free, but at one time I did have 11 holes in my ears alone.
I can't wait to share more of my classroom with you tomorrow.
