I'm back everyone! Hello 2013!!!

"Hey Stranger!" is probably what most of my blogger friends are saying (that's if you guys haven't forgot about me). I have been the worst blogger ever! As most of you know, I started my first year as a 5th grade teacher. I must say, the first semester WAS NOT, I REPEAT... WAS NOT  a cake walk! OMG!!! I never expected some of the things I've experienced in my new role as an educator. I have been completely overwhelmed with things to do. Luckily, I've survived and I looking forward to finishing the school year strong!Between educating students, being a cheerleading coach, and running a business, there has not been enough time in the day for me to blog or do anything else for that matter. 

With that being said, I've come to the conclusion that I need to slow down. Everybody knows that it's the time of the year for making resolutions and about two months into the new year, those resolutions have been thrown out the window. I promised myself that I would make reasonable resolutions that I would at least attempt to get accomplished. One of those was to not become a "summer blogger". True enough my life is extremely busy, but interacting with people, sharing ideas, and helping others are things that I truly enjoy. I have decided that I will make time in my busy week to do some things that I enjoy as opposed to working myself to death. 

So many things have taken place since the last time I've posted on my blog, so I feel the need to fill you in on a few of them. :) I'll share the two most exciting things. For starters, I'm one year older. I celebrated my 30th birthday in September. That's a huge milestone (I think!). Whoo hooo!!! GO ME!! I also became a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority!!! SUPER EXCITING!!!! 

Many pics and more posts to follow! I'm glad to be back with my blogger friends. :) :) :) :) :)

Here's 30!!! :)
