Where has the time gone?

April to June was sort of a blur! Between wrapping up the school year and taking finals, it was crazy! 

But I want to ensure my [few] followers, I'm alive and well! I could be better if the preschool I work for wasn't year around...but you know what they say about lemons and such!

Let's Get Aquatinted Linky Party!

Mrs. Reed over at Flying into First Grade is having her VERY FIRST linky party (What better way to meet new bloggy friends than through a linky party)!


So Let's Get Acquainted!

My initials are L.M.S.

L: Learning: I'm in college working towards my degree in elementary education at Washington State University (Go Cougs), so there is still a lot of "learning" I have to do!

M: Makeup- Lately, I've been into obsessed with makeup. Like weekly trips to Ulta obsessed. I'm in love with the Benefit brand right now!

S: Soccer- I played soccer for many, many years! Until I hurt my hip and was sidelined, well, FOREVER! Lady Gaga ain't got nothing on me! ;)

Is It Summer Yet?

WHOA! Spring semester is in FULL swing, and I mean full swing. Aside from working 40 hours a week at my job, I'm taking 2 upper level classes, and a practicum 1 day a week. Just typing it out makes me sound like a mad woman, and that's how I've been feeling. On top of all that, I was studying from the WEST-B exam. In Washington, the state requires all future teachers to take a skills test before they can get their certificate (WEST-B stands for Washington Educators Skill Test-Basic). Then when you are almost complete with your degree you take the WEST-E, which is another skills test where they will also test you on your endorsement. Needless to say, I've been rather stressed. The test is over and I feel rather confident, but I have to wait until March 4th for the results. 

I am SO lucky to have a sweet and caring husband. He has noticed that I have been pretty hectic lately. So the weekend after my exam he took me to Seattle. We ate some awesome food, shopped, walked around Pike Place Market, enjoyed each others company, and most of all enjoyed no studying or textbooks!

Currently JANUARY 2-0-1-3!

First of all, WOW, 2013 already! Which means another installment of Currently from Farley over at Oh' Boy 4th Grade! I remember like it was yesterday that we were preparing to celebrate the big Y2K! What will 2013 bring us?!


Listening: I've been feeling so sick the last week. I honestly didn't want to do anything! Luckily Mr. Smith obliged since he knew I was feeling crummy. We spent the first part of the evening at my mom's eating appetizers and chit-chatting. Then we spent the rest of the evening cuddled up at home. We're not 80 years old I promise, but we're kind of homebodies. 

Loving: See above!

Thinking: The last 7.5 years, Mr. Smith and I have been moving around at least once a year. We've finally settled in a place we feel like we'll be in for a while. I have 2 years of school left, I'm not going anyway (transferring while in the middle of a major seems like it would be chaos). I have a lot of white walls to decorate!

Wanting: I have always wanted an iPad since they have debuted. I'm hoping 2013 will prove successful in that department!

Needing: I've been looking into Erin Condren's Life Planners. Does anyone have one? Or something similar?

OLW: FAITH, gotta have some! =)

Happy 2013! I wish everyone a happy, healthy, loving new year!
