Starting Year Two in Phoenix!!!

Here we gooooo!!! After an adventurous month spent in Oregon, I am back for round two here in Phoenix. I went into my classroom for the first time since the middle of June, and already ideas began spinning through my mind, trying to decide what might be best for the class of 2018. I am determined to help these kids succeed, even if I may think I'm losing my mind at times! As for my summer, it was...interesting... I've learned a few things this year: 1.) I have amazing friends back in Oregon, and miss them dearly. 2.) I love my family very much and know they are there to support me through all the trials and tribulations. 3.) Men suck. haha jk. Well, at least that's the story lately. Not convinced guys? Prove me wrong. ;) 4.) The people I've met here in Phoenix and surrounding areas are awesome, and I am very fortunate to have met them and gotten so close to them. 5.) This next year is going to be interesting, awesome, and hopefully full of laughter and fun. Sunday Funday is BACK!!! So I took off in my car the morning after the last day of summer school (June 14), and headed for Oregon. I got to enjoy some time with my friend Allie on the journey up, while we stopped in Santa Barbara and San Francisco for a night each. The days of relaxation and cooler temperatures were wonderful in Oregon, and I have some incredible moments I will cherish from the time spent with everyone there. It was followed up by 5 nights in Puerto Rico, and a day after my return, here I am! I am hoping to continue this next year having fun adventures, trying new things, and meeting new people. :) As for now, I'm off to prep for the next school year!!
