Student Teaching

I'm finally a student teacher!!!! I've been waiting for this semester for a while! I'm so excited about it. Right now, I am at Lynn Lucas Middle School. I love it! I'm with 6th graders. I've never had experience with them before, so it was brand new. I was very nervous yesterday on the first day, but today was a lot better. Those teachers that told me the first day was crazy weren't lying! It was hectic and nonstop all day. I came home and laid down. Today, I treated myself to a pedicure after work haha. I'm loving it so far! 6th graders are so different than the kids I'm used to teaching! They are so independent and smart. I really like them...so far!! :) I also have a great mentor teacher! She is so helpful and encouraging. I couldn't have asked for a better teacher.

Guadalupe River!!

I had my first experience floating the river this summer! I've always wanted to go, and I can honestly say it was the most fun I've had with a group of people!! I laughed so hard, my stomach was sore the next day. I want to definitely make it a summer trip until I start having kids! I don't have any pictures because I was scared to take my camera, but I wanted to share it with my blog readers! If you haven't gone before, go! Just be ready to see some CRAZY things!! :)

San Francisco!!!

Our last place to go to was San Francisco! I have always wanted to go there since I was old enough to know that's where the "Full House house" was filmed. I absolutely loved it there! It's really busy, and full of bicycle riders and runners, but it's so pretty. The weather is cold (to me)! I think it was around mid-60's when we were there. I also saw Alcatraz from a distance. We got close to it on the boat ride we went on that took up past it and to the Golden Gate Bridge. I would like to tour it next time I'm there. If you ever get a chance to go here, go! You won't be disappointed!

This was still on the coast!

Golden Gate Bridge!!! YAAY!

Alcatraz!

Sea Lions on the Fisherman's Wharf! I think they are so cute! They make funny noises and argue with each other. :)

I have wanted a picture like this forever! I'm glad I have one!

Parents in front of the Golden Gate Bridge! <3

Oregon

Okay! I finally posted my Oregon pictures! Enjoy :)

This was a mountain that we saw flying into Portland, OR. It was beautiful!

This is my great Aunt Jo and great Aunt Nina. I haven't seen them in years. It was so good to see them and catch up. Aunt Nina looks just like my grandpa. I love them so much! I wish I could visit more.

Just a few pictures of Oregon! Gorgeous

This was driving on the coast of Oregon and California. I'm not too sure where we were at this point, but I think it was still in Oregon. The Pacific ocean there is so different from what I'm used to. It has huge, huge rocks in it. I couldn't take enough pictures of the ocean!

I had a great time. It was Roger, me, my mom, and my stepdad. I definitely want to go back there and visit. The weather is so nice, and there is NO humidity. I still love Texas though :)

I'm sorry to those who look at my blog. I have been a very bad blogger this summer. I have lots to update, but I am waiting on my pictures to come back to me from my Mom's house. I will update shortly. I am almost finished with my summer job. Tomorrow is my last day. I have enjoyed the job, but I am ready for student teaching, and to see what God has in store for me. We went on a trip to Oregon/San Francisco a few weeks back. It was amazing. I will be sure to post a lot of pictures on that. As for now, I am headed to work. :)
