One week down.....fifteen to go!!

My first week of student teaching at Ardmore High School was fabulous! I love all of the people that work there as well as all of the students! I basically just served as an aide for the first week. I made a gazillion! copies. I also made all of the folders that will house the students' tests for the next few years. Just basic housekeeping duties. I also have almost learned ALL....yes ALL of the students' names. All 140 something of them! I was so overwhelmed the first day with all of those names, and now I know almost all of them! For example, after school Friday Robert and I went to get Brody at school, then stopped by McDonald's and two of the students who were in my class were there. It felt great to know their names and be able to say hey to them! (I think they liked it, too!) My Cooperating teacher is amazing! I love her and couldn't have picked a better one if I'd done it myself! She wants me to do as much as I'd like as slow or fast as I'd like!
I am looking so forward to the next fourteen weeks! I know that there will be so many exciting events! Even more than that, I can't wait to have my own classroom! I pray that I will be a great teacher, but I'm becoming more and more confident in that area each day!
We are LOVING living in Tennessee! Wow, I love it here! I could say that 5 million times and it still wouldn't do it justice! I am so grateful for Robert and everything he does for us. This is more than I could have ever asked for. Ever. I can't wait for the rest of our lives!
So, Jay & Cole got hitched Saturday! It was gorgeous! Absolutely beautiful! Definitely one of the prettiest weddings I've ever been to! We had so much fun getting ready for it, and Jay was so CALM! I don't know how she handled it so well. I know I will be a total mess! Speaking of which, we only have 68 days to go! YAY! I can't wait! Gotta get on the ball!
