I know I've been MIA - literally because I haven't been answering emails and my address has changed and I keep forgetting to let people know what it is now - but I finally had an evening to catch up on my 115 emails (not including SPAM) and to update my blog.
LIFE IS FANTASTIC! I feel like I'm in heaven teaching. I truly believe I have found my calling in life. I'm an educator, as corny as that sounds. I love love love my grade level that I'm teaching and the school. I teach 5th grade at Tyndall Elementary. I have 20 students and they are spunky and wonderful. I've been working my tail off, working 10-14 hour days (I even pulled a few 17-19 hour days) every day of the week since I got hired on Aug. 11. Even though I've been practically living at school, I love every minute of what I'm doing. Unfortunately everything else has fallen by the wayside, which means I need to fill everyone in:
Kevin and I moved to a new address. Our address is now 723 Michael Drive, Panama City, FL 32404. We got tired of dealing with 60 year old base housing and the old plumbing and wiring and stuff, so we moved into Callaway into a lovely 3 bed 2 bath house with privacy fencing that Ruby has already busted through...twice. We love it here. And yes, I'll post pictures soon...ish.
Kevin found out that he's deploying in December to Afghanistan for 6 months. He's going to combat training in Fort Riley, KS on Oct. 3 until Dec. 12 then he's leaving for overseas sometime close to Christmas. He's very excited. I'm very not.
Other than that, things are just rolling along. Those are our big news items. Not much else to report. I will post photos of my classroom soonish as well. Maybe I'll get to that one weekend that I decide not to work at school. :)
Hope everyone is great! Sorry I've been neglecting everyone. Drop me a line (but don't expect a response - sorry!!!!) and let me know what's up in your lives. I MISS EVERYONE!!

yay for a good update! i'm so happy that you are loving your job. that's the most we can hope for when trying so hard for it, right??!! i'm so sad that kevin is deploying for so long, since the two month training makes it so much longer! i totally feel for you. we know eli's first deployment is coming up sometime after the baby. sad and scary (imagining me alone with a child that is! :)
The anticipation is almost as bad as the actual deployment. I keep thinking I already miss him so much and he's standing 3 feet away!!
Ugh. Bummer about the deployment. But really exciting about your job! I'm so jealous! :) I hope everything goes smoothly and quickly while Kevin is gone.
