Whoa!

Whoa! It has been a while. The last time I wrote, it was New Years 2007. Why do I return, you wonder? I don't really know. I just felt the urge to write. Since my last post, I have graduated, gotten married to the most handsomest, funnyest, adorablest guy in the world, moved to Dallas, started teaching Elementary Music, and bought my first Christmas tree. Right now, Ryan and I are preparing to go on a ski trip with some good friends. Maybe that is why I write. If I die on the slopes, will anyone have read this? If you are reading this after I hurt myself, please know I had a wonderful life. Anyways, as we begin another year, I would like to pause and reflect. This has been a great year. I directed 4-5 (depending on how you look at it) successful programs for school. I have cooked many meals for my hungry husband. I have even not been late to school cause I slept in...yet. So as we enter January, I am filled with the hope of a great year. But nothing worries me more than the usual gloom that befalls me in that month. Christmas is over. Valentines Day is a month away. The snow melts and the ground is brown and there are no Christmas lights. How do I plan to overcome this? What is my solution? I feel that if I prepare for such change, I can defeat it. My goal is to face 2008 like a joyful Holiday 3rd grade program. With vengance, pride, dignity, and a little anxiety. I shall tackle you, 2008. Look out.
