Yay for my second award!! :) Danielle Chaney at Classroom Cupcakes passed the award on to me. Her blog is just amazing, and you can check it out by clicking her button below:

I am in love with Vampire Diaries. Specifically, I am in love with Damon on the Vampire Diaries. I wish this show was on television every night. 2. I have two amazing kitties: Scout and Teagan. 3. I'm writing a thesis right now, and I sincerely hope I never write another one ever again. 4. I've been trying to snowboard for years, and I'm still terrible at it. Though I do love anything outdoors!!! 5. I have a love for traveling. I just came back from Barcelona, Spain a few months ago. I taught ELL there. I really would love to teach abroad again or at least go explore. I want to see every continent. The next on my list is South America. I would love, love, love to visit Buenes Aires, Argentina. Or Austrailia. Melbourne or Sydney would be pretty epic. 6. I love to cook. I want to get even better with my baking skills. 7. My boyfriend's name is Adam. We've been together about 6 months. 8. I am literally the queen of sticky notes. I write down groceries, quotes, ideas, thoughts, things I must do, notes to Adam, the list goes on. 9. I have less than a year before I'm done with my Master's!!!! 10. A caramel frappachino from McD's can make anything better for me. 11. I love Jesus. (This is the real number one!!!)   My answers to Classroom Cupcake's questions:  

1} If your life had a theme song, what would it be? 

All Star.I should hope.

2} Why did you choose to become a teacher?

My mom went into a coma when I was five, so I didn't get to know her for long. I do always remember how much she loved teaching and people in general. She was the most caring person I have met in my entire life. She inspired me one hundred percent.

3} Why did you start blogging?

 I really wanted to connect with more teachers from different areas! I am always pinninng, reading blogs, or on the computer so of course it was bound to happen sooner or later!

4} What has been the best thing to happen in your years as a teacher?

Watching children learn to believe in themselves. It never gets old, and it almost always brings tears. Happy tears. :)

5} Skittles or M&M's? tough.

I'd go M&M's...as long as they have peanuts.

6} What was the last book you read for you?

7} Apple or Android?

Apple!!! iPad/iPhone <3

8} If you could create a new species, what would it be?

A flying person!

ails or au naturale? Natural!

10} What food makes your mouth water just by saying it's name? pizzaaaaa

11} What are your plans for the holidays? Spend as much time with my family, boyfriend, and friends as possible, shop for my sweet angel on the angel tree, and RELAX because for a couple of weeks I won't be teaching or doing anything for my Master's. Wooohooo!
