Job Hunting

There is not a high demand for elementary teachers in this area. Which isn't a good thing for me. I have been filling out application after application. Yesterday I dropped off some at a couple school boards in the area. One told me that they would put me on the list for a screening interview! :)
I've also mailed out some applications. I called today to resubmit my app for some newly posted positions and they said all they needed was a copy for my certificate. I asked if I should mail it to the same place I did my applications and they said I could fax it in (which I took as a good sign!).
My plan is to begin working on my masters and get a few years of teaching under my belt, before packing up and heading south! So I am more than ready to get this show on the road!
Hopefully I will hear something soon! Any of y'all have advice for finding a job right out of college?
Keep your fingers crossed for me!

Giveaway!

Y'all go check out The Gifting Gumshoe! She is hosting a lovely giveaway right now, how cute are these mugs???

Memorial Day Weekend

We've had a pretty fun weekend. Nathan and I tagged along with Mom on Friday and Saturday to a wedding that my brother was in. Nathan had an amazing time, he got to dance with the bride and caught the prize (i.e. the garter). =)
Yesterday and today have been lazy days. Today NACH, dad, and I went fishing! We actually did pretty good, though I haven't tried to take a fish off the hook...I'm to darn scared!

Here are some pics from the weekend. The towns where the wedding and reception were just too cute! I've got to go back and take some more shots!

A covered bridge! Y'all don't even know how excited I was for this! (Small things in life I guess.) ;)

Church where the wedding was, along with Mom and NACH

NACH sporting that deer caught in the headlights look! =)

Friday night while everyone else was at the rehearsal dinner NACH and I drove out to the lake! (He looks like he has a black eye, due to his allergies poor thing!)

Fishing!Grillin'
Right before he got in trouble for having that dirty hand near his mouth, I know he is all boy.

I have been watching John and Kate plus 8 throughout the weekend. I can't wait for the season premier! What do y'all think, is all this cheating business really just publicity?? Kate always seemed so bossy so who knows...

Just when I thought I couldn't love Paula any more I read this book (in a day and a half, really I couldn't set it down)! This book is so wonderful, it really gives us an insight into Paula's life and how far she has traveled. If y'all haven't picked up then I recommend you do so! She really is an inspiration!

Almost There!

Well graduation is Saturday and I can not wait. Leading up to graduation there are a few events leading up to the big day. Tuesday night the education department hosted an "Apple Pinning" ceremony for the education majors.

Here are some picture from the ceremony. The majority of these people have been a part of my daily life for the past couple of years (their are only 11 education majors this semester) and needless to say I am going to miss these people when we go our separate ways.

*FYI I've been under the weather for a couple of days now, so I look pretty rough! ;)

Oh and did anyone else shed tears over Grey's this evening? I lost it. Plus I have the biggest crush on Jeffery Dean Morgan so anytime he makes an appearance I consider it a good episode!
