Happy Anniversary!

It is hard to believe we have been married 3 months today, but we have. Its been everything we hoped for and more. This means, our lives never really changed after we took our vows, our relationship just became cemented as we preferred it to be. Still newlyweds after 5 plus years together because we were only "allowed" to be married recently.

On the professional front I have finished my first week in the new classes and am tired as ever. I feel as if I am behind an extremely large boulder pushing it uphill. For those of you who don't know better - it can cause a rather painful hernia. I haven't developed a hernia, but I sure the hell have been tired. I have been putting in longer than usual hours. I have a student teacher, but right now with all of my classes being new class I have not handed any of them over to him.

As all of this transition is taking place, I have applied for even more transition to occur in the near future. I have applied for an AP position in my district. I KNOW I can do the job. I want the chance to prove it. It is odd though, thinking about becoming comfortable in my new classroom and with my new students while secretly hoping that I have to pack up in a month.
Is that bad?

Our youngest had a soccer game this morning. It was awesome to watch him play and see how much he has progressed already this season. He is becoming a pretty awesome goalie. He had 3 saves today, and no one scored on him.

Life is good. I have been blessed with man good things - a loving wife, great kids (for the most part), and friends who are wonderful in their own rights. They have become extended family. Thanks for the support everyone! It would have been a quieter life but I couldn't have done most of this with you all.
