Clydesdales and Sucha Pup

Casey and the Twins

So much has already happened in 2011. I have a NEW job working with Clydesdales out in the middle of no where Texas. I miss my friends and Kevin, of course, but this change has been amazing for me and I love it so much. I spend my days with wonderful horses and I couldn't ask for a better opportunity to be back with the animals I love.

I also just put a deposit down on a new Golden Retriever puppy. It was bitter sweet, but I am really excited about it. She's a beautiful little girl and should be pretty dark in color. I pretty sure I've decided on the name "Sucha," even though some people have called me crazy for it.. :-) I'm okay with being crazy.Momma Bear

Thanksgiving with No Family

The holiday hit me a little harder than I thought it would, as it was the first time I was not able to make it home for any piece of the break...wait, break? What am I saying? I didn't have any sort of break, actually, because I worked Thursday(yeah, that's right, Thursday. Its bullshit, I know.), Friday, Saturday and Sunday...and also Monday, but that isn't here yet.

Anyways, having to work over a holiday made me more determined then ever to not be in the same place I am now next year. I love my family way to much to be away from them like this again.

There were two things to be Thankful for though.

1st: Kevin and I have officially been dating a year, on Thanksgiving Day. And I love him more then ever. I was, and still am, sad I was not able to go and see him and his family on Thursday, but, since I can't go home for Christmas Day, they have so graciously invited me to their house, and I am so greatful for that.

2nd: Good friends which turned a crappy holiday into a better one with a wonderful dinner which finished cooking at 11:30pm and an epic game of Cranium lasting well into the night. Thanks Christina, Jentri, Jauron and Aaron. It may have been a late dinner, but, damn it, we had a Thanksgiving!

All Work...and No Play.

Okay, first off, I admit to neglecting this blog for over a month. I believe the last thing I posted was about having the Pre-K teaching job....EPIC DISASTER! But, I made it through and survived to tell the tale, get paid, and never look back. Lesson learned, I am not made to work with kids under the age of 4.

Luckily, My old Assistant Manager from American Eagle called me while I was doing the subbing job and offered my a pretty sweet position at Gander Mountain. By the end of the week I was hired and have been working like CRAZY ever since. Its a great job and I am still able to take subbing positions on my days off, which is nice, but for the most part I'm working full time at Gander. Its really laid back and the other employees are a lot of fun to be around.

Kevin got his Aggie Bling on September 17th. His family came in and he did his ring dunk that night with 5 of our other friends. It was an amazing time. I love spending time with his family, and I felt lucky to have been able to spend such a special occasion with them. Football and Bonfire also started that weekend. So, in the end, the weekend was quite an event.
Since then, Football has fallen to pieces. And for something I have loved so much for years now, Bonfire has been sitting heavy on my heart with how pathetic our dorm's turnout has been so far. No one talks about it, but everyone who has been around for awhile is thinking the same thing, and its hard to watch the years of hard work disintegrate in front of our eyes.

On to happier things. Kevin and I went to a wedding this past weekend in Houston. He was a groomsman for an old HS buddy. We had a good time, despite the wedding being 'dry,' but it was nice being able to put faces with some of the names I always hear. Kevin's friend, Mike, is always fun to be around and we hung out quite a bit while Kevin was off doing groomsman stuff. As usual though, I took some pictures, but didn't get anything of myself. Go figure.
That sums everything up though. I'll try to keep up with things at least for a little while.

Teaching

I finally got my first Subing job! I will be TAing in a Pre-K class for this entire week. I'm so excited..and nervous. I'm pretty sure I didn't sleep at all, hence this is being written at 5am.

I am really happy that this will be my introduction to Subing though. Having the chance to, more or less, shadow a teacher for my first week will be so helpful, rather than being shoved into a classroom with 25 kids and no clue on what to do with them.

It also makes me happy that this is a job for an entire week, which is something that I really needed after feeling so worthless lately.
