Introductions

My sweet family at the circus in February.
"I love this crazy, tragic, sometimes almost magic, awful beautiful life."  Some days are chaotic, crazy, and loud, but I wouldn't have it any other way! 

I'm a wife, mother, teacher, and student.  My husband and I were high school sweethearts and dated off and on throughout my college days at NC State.  We finally married on April 14 , 2007.  The most exciting day of my life with my husband.  We lived in the Raleigh, NC area for 2 years before moving home to raise our son in our hometown.  Jaxson Ancel is almost 3!!  He is full of life and learns something new almost every minute.  I have learned alot about myself through him these past 3 years.  We adore our little spawn.  He is a perfect mix of the both of us.

I am a teacher of the academically gifted.  I absolutely love my job.  This is my first year teaching in elementary school  after 7 years in the middle school.  I have had a wonderful year and have enjoyed the change, I'm always up for a change...and a challenge.  I have one more year in graduate school and then I will have a Master's in Educational Leadership.  I am anxious to see what the future will hold.

Lately, life has changed in many ways.  My husband graduated (at the top of his class) and scored a nice job with a company that flies him all over the US each week.  This will continue for a year.  I miss my best friend and lover when he's traveling.  We are making it work and will get through this year together.

I decided to give this whole blogging thing a whirl. This is mostly about my family activities and some educational links that catch my attention.
