Well, medical school is finally here. Monday morning Trevor will be thrown into a whole new adventure. The past few weeks have been so exciting. Trevor met up with some students from school and soon after I met a group of them as well. We have gone out plenty of times and have spent a lot of time on the beach. He will be surrounded by a great group of people. It's sort of sad when you think about it from my perspective. I met some awesome girls and it has been so nice to have some girl time/conversations, however, they will be just as unavailable as Trevor will be. :( On a brighter note, I start new teacher training tomorrow and will hopefully meet some new teachers at my own school.
I should have access to my classroom this coming Friday! I can hardly stand it any longer. My mom has been gathering up some things for me from her teaching days so I am so excited to receive anything she has. Trevor's mom sent me a huge box of really cute teacher things, like stickers and calendars and stamps! She also knows a second grade teacher who just moved to another grade so the lady just gave Carolyn all of her old stuff to give to me. I should be expecting about 5 boxes of goodies for my room!! I get a small budget from the school but now that I will have all of these things from my mom and Carolyn, I should be pretty much set up for life. :) I have decided to do an underwater theme for my room. I will have a lot of work to do creating all of my room ideas but that's what I think excites me most about getting started.
I was also accepted into a program at FAU for my teaching classes. The great thing about this program is that grants pay for all of your schooling. Considering I am not considered a Florida resident, this schooling would have cost me an arm and a leg and I need those to teach! I will be at school from 8-5 on Saturdays, so basically I will be working 6 days of week but by the end of this school year I will have obtained my professional teaching certification. Pretty nice!
Even better, my school is uniformed even for teachers so basically I have about four shirts I can switch off from and any cute pants I want. Even better, no more heels! Only when I WANT to.
I miss my family very much and have been very nostalgic for Dallas lately. There's just small things here that make me miss home. I am sure once I am working it will get easier. Friday, Trevor's family flies in for the white coat ceremony. His Mom, Dad, Omi and Opi will be here. Trevor can hardly wait and it's about time we see them! We have missed them very much! Now if only they could kidnap my baby niece so that I can hold her...I may not give her back if that were to happen.
Anyways, our first year of marriage is coming to an end but medical school and teaching are just beginning. We have so much to be thankful for. God bless you and your families too. I will have plenty to update you on after the first week of school for both of us! Take care!
