Year in Review

Well Iknow that I haven't been 0n here since this time last year. I just wanted to give everyone a little peek into what has been going on in my world since last year.

First off, I got a job in Huntsville back April 2009. I was a contract employee with the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. Yea....not as cool as it sounds. I was basically doing grunt work that no one wanted to do. I did meet some pretty fun people and made some good connections and friends but the work load was just off. I then quit a year later.

Secondly, I rented a house after 2 months of being in Huntsville and having a job. Needless to say that I LOVED my house. I loved my roomies and I couldn't have been happier! Klar and Lauren and I had a lot of fun together. Klar and I worked together in TDCJ and Lauren is a teacher for Huntsville ISD.

The last thing is that I am getting my teaching certificate. I am almost ready to sign a contract if offered one. I only have to complete my observation hours and then I am good to go!!!! I went through a program with ACT Houston. I have been so blessed by them and I have realized that my Mom was right when she said that I never should have changed my major in the first place. I am glad I did because if I didn't I woudn't have been able to be a part of ACT. Such a neat and well done program. I would recommend it to anyone looking to teach!!!! So now I am once again, on the j0b hunt and am a little nervous about it all.

Hope this message finds everyone well and Happy M0ther's Day to all of the moms out there!!!

Much love and warmest wishes to all!
