(no subject)
First and foremost, that little nephew (no Amanda did not have baby, my Other Half did, so he's an honorary nephew) of mine finally arrived. I know it's going on two weeks now since he's been here, but my life has been crazy. I cannot explain what that child has done for my heart. He's absolutely amazing. Ask anyone, I think newborns are very unfortunate looking, Kathryn is going to take mine for a week because I think they are ugly...but this baby, he's absolutely beautiful. Two and a half hours old, puffy eyes, incredibly pointy head and he was still gorgeous. Seeing the look on Em's face as she passed him to me only hours after he was born took my breath away. She sure has fallen hard for that boy. And seeing him with his daddy? Oh don't even get me started there, it surely melts my heart! So anyway, welcome to the world Bronson Heath Elliott, even if Auntie Em is two weeks late on telling the world how amazing you are!
Student teaching is still going wonderful. I have a girl in my afternoon class that makes me want to pull my hair out, but we can't have it be perfect everyday right? Actually more like I want to pull her hair out, not my own, she just drives me that crazy. I've been taking over the class more and more everyday and my mentor teacher is more of the assistant. Last week a day I actually got to teach the entire day while a substitute was in the classroom, she really didn't do a darn thing and got paid for it, but that's okay. Come October 22nd and I'll be able to sub and get paid if my teacher needs to leave. I really do love what I do though. I get excited to go into the school, I don't mind waking up even though I may whine about it, but 5:45 sure does come quickly. The drive to school doesn't even bother me either. I really cannot believe how quickly the semester is going, like tomorrow is Friday and I don't know where the week has gone. We are having a pj party tomorrow! Yay how fun!
Last weekend I finally got to see my best friend. Okay we are babies and cried because we were hungry and everyone was making us angry, and we had short tempers, and well we just needed to eat! We saw good ole' dotty there too. "I HAVE NEW UNDERWEAR, and I don't know anything". Oh goodness, we sure had some good laughs too. I needed that dinner more than anything. We got rid of those grumps even just being together! Kathryn finally got to meet Bronson too, and she agrees he's adorable! I get to see her AGAIN on the 5th. Yay, that's not even that far away, and next week will go so dang fast I'll be with her before I know it. Emily and I took Bronson on his first outing, to a bonfire, he loved it so much he slept the entire time. I stayed up past midnight on Saturday and could not believe how tired I was on Sunday, I pretty much have become a grandma.
I'm running in another 5K this Saturday. I'm doing it for Carrie. It's a race for the cure run, for breast cancer. I'm so motivated to do well. Nothing else will matter because I know what I'm running for, I will have that star on me somehow too, maybe not around my neck and close to my heart, but I will wear it somewhere. I talked to Carrie tonight, I needed to hear her voice, I've been getting updates through other people, but I needed to hear it from her.
I cannot believe it's almost October. I have lots of things to look forward to also so it makes the time go even quicker. Student teaching keeps me so busy, and exhausted and I wouldn't change anything about it. And you, I don't know what it is about you, I know people wouldn't approve, but I sure like what you do for my "heart", we say that in quotes because well we know why. I don't care what anyone thinks, they don't matter. I'm not sharing much about you because they don't need to know either, but I do like how much I smile when I talk to you, or how much I've gotten out of you in the past few days, and how much you throw right back at me. So, thanks for making me smile.
Until next time, bunches of love.
