The Waiting Game

So, I am so excited to be a daddy, and Shani is done being pregnant. We have had a few nights of contractions and felt like it was coming, but it is hard to keep this up. She is tired and so am I.
Well, here's to waiting!

GOOD TIMES

Well first things first, Good News, I got a part-time teaching gig! I am a real, true, blue teacher with a class of my own! I am currently putting lessons together with music and units, and I am loving every minute of it!

Well, I am at the moment, there are some hard elements. 11 kids (3 boys 8 girls) in my advanced choir, and 6 kids (2 boys 4 girls) in my other group. I am still excited to have an amazing experience with these students and to see them really progress and move forward.

The second cool, and exciting thing is WE GOT AN APARTMENT!!!! I am so excited, and we are so blessed to have this experience! 

Here's to finding a full-time job and having a baby!

Post-Grad Life

I am in this crazy limbo... I find myself doing projects, organizing my life (things I have wanted to do since I got married), reading books, and last but not least, getting a pay check from a real job. I am a substitute teacher, and it turns out I am pretty good. I have been through the training, and I know how to tell kids I won't take crap. This is a good feeling. I think life is looking up, I mean I have so many amazing and exciting things to look forward to.
The first thing is moving to our own apartment! We have a really good feeling about one that we just applied for and hope it goes through. One of the projects this week was going through all of our stuff and de-junking the not needed and consolidating our packing. This will make the move more manageable.
The second thing is little Baby Girl! She is moving like crazy and I am so happy to be her future daddy! Shani is a trooper and I have been so proud of how excited an maternal she is. I am not surprised, but overjoyed to see this glow about her.
Third, New Job! I am still unsure about the details in this regard, but I have an in with Canyon's School District, & might apply for teach for America.?.

I am so blessed and couldn't ask for more!
Love life!

College. . . check!

I am done. . . So now what? That is the real question, but all I can say is I am done and that feels good! It really does. I have a great year to look forward to: New baby!!!!!! New job!!  New place to live! Triathlons! Work out!!! And spending another Year with my wonderful wife!!!!

Here's to 2014, may it be a Year to Remember!

Over the hump.

I AM MORE THAN HALF WAY DONE!
I am slowly getting comfortable in my skin and feel like this it the right profession for me. I had a job interview this week and it went well. It was a preliminary one, but non-the-less it went well.

I Can Do Dis'

I have survived being completely in charge of these choirs for 3 days and I did good. I can do dis'. THIS is a reassuring notion, because I have up to this point doubted myself, but I am feeling super pumped to be an educator. Maybe that is partly because I have a long weekend to unwind, but either way, I did it. If I can do this, I can do anything! Go me. Oh and I'm gonna be a dad!!!!! Super excited!  

Shani is doing so great and this baby will be so loved. I love life!

New Month

Wow, I made it through September! Now here comes October. If I can make it through this month, I can do anything! Not that it is too hard. I think I can do this and am excited for the fresh feeling of a new month. This will be a great motto when I am teaching--A New Month! New Beginnings! Love this thought and cannot wait to be a teacher myself. It is hard to love these kids and have no future with them. Here's to the future and the month of October!
