10 Day Challenge

Its been awhile..

Wedding planning is good. School is good. I am taking a swimming masters class which is fantastic. I am so so thankful for everything I have in my life! Recently I have been obsessed with Post Secret Blog's iPhone app. It truly has made me feel blessed and lucky. Anyway... While reading a friend's blog (Iridescentindigo) I decided this 10 day challenge thing would be a fun way to get back into the blogging thing. 

So here it goes: Day 10.

Secret 10: Unlike many girls.. I really do not care about the details of my Wedding day. From the beginning I have said.. I want all my family and friends to have fun. Which to me = good food, good drinks, good music and safe transportation... All the other details don't matter to me at the end of the day. 

Secret 9: I miss college. I miss the freedom to do what ever you want when ever you want to. Being in the real world is just not the same. I am excited for the future and what is coming ahead of me but I can't help but look back at all the fun times I had and miss it. 


My very first dorm room at school

Pi Phi Parties

Football Games

504 friends

My first apartment!

Graduation Day.. Bittersweet. 

Secret 8: I am a really bad speller. People think because I am a teacher I can spell.. Nope! I am also a terrible reader. I read very very slowly and it takes me a few times to go back and re-read something before I understand it. 

Secret 7: I do not see myself being a teacher forever. It is so emotionally and physically draining. It is some times scary to know that every day i go into work I could impact a teenagers life for the better or for the worse. I try to stay positive every day, to be happy and to show the students I care but It is really difficult to do sometimes when teachers get thrown 100 million other things to do besides teach. 

Secret 6: 90% of the time I HATE Cable TV. I would be happy getting rid of it (but Jman loves his sports). I can't believe all of the trash they play these days. 

Secret 5: I would be perfectly fine not telling my kids about santa clause. I feel it is really important to teach your kids the true meaning of Christmas (and receiving gifts is not what is important!).

Secret 4: The thought of traveling outside of the country scares me. One day I would love to go to Italy, France, Germany, Australia, Mexico, Canada...and many many others, but I don't know the first thing about traveling in those countries. I hope that one day I get over that fear. But for now I want to travel to every State and experience everything amazing this country has to offer

Secret 3: I keep up with people through Facebook. If you look up Facebook stalker in the dictionary my picture is what you will see.. 

Secret 2: Although I am allergic to them, I really REALLY want a dog!! Boston Terriers are amazing. 

Secret 1: It took me almost 2 hours to come up with 10 secrets.. 

Happy Thanksgiving All!

I love your secrets! It really surprised me too that the 10 Day Challenge would actually be challenging!

PS Travelling is totally worth it. Sometimes you just have to figure it out as you go, but that's part of what makes the adventure.
