Big News!

So, I've been crazy busy because my whole life is about to undergo a big change. I am officially resigning from my position at Shepherd Center to become a fulltime student in a Masters in the Art of Teaching program at Kennesaw State University (go Owls? No I'm still a bulldog!). Yes, I know many are thinking that I'm crazy, not only to be a fulltime student again, but to want to be a teacher in this economy-crazy!  But I'm SO excited about this new adventure ahead of me. I know it's where I'm suppose to be right now in my life. The program lasts exactly one year, and I will come away with an MAT in secondary English. (I doubt my blogs will have any less grammatical errors though. This is blog-world, not high school English folks!)
As many of you know, I've always had a teacher's spirit and truly love making a difference in other's lives. I have a passion to inspire our youth! Plus, when I realized that the certification exam I had passed some years ago would soon expire if I didn't utilize it, I decided it was NOW or NEVER. I know it will just get harder and harder to go back to school, so I am thrilled about this opportunity. However, I will truly miss everyone and everything about Shepherd Center. It has been an amazing place to grow for the past two years, and I will continue to visit and hopefully volunteer myself one day.
Nevertheless, I have a lot ahead of me to complete a Masters in one year! Not to mention the fact that I have to move home and tie up all those loose ends that are involved with changing your life. :)  I can't wait though. More to come on this exciting journey....

"His legs flail about as if independent from his body!"

If you are a "Friends" watcher as I have been known to be, you will appreciate that quote. I am getting to see the Chandler Bing's greatest fear--Michael Flatley and the "Lord of the Dance" performance. I am so excited! I've seen a lot of different types of performances in my lifetime (even the gravely strange or soberly artistic modern dance shows), but I've never seen an Irish Riverdance! My mom got tickets for us back in October for my birthday. She is so astute and thoughtful! In case you aren't familiar with "Lord of the Dance." Here is what Wikipedia has to say about Mr. Flately's Dance: "Lord of the Dance is an Irish musical and dance production that was created, choreographed, and produced by Irish-American dancer Michael Flatley, who also took a starring role. Michael Flatley found his first fame starring in Riverdance, but he left the show in 1995 before its debut in London after a disagreement over creative control. F

When you smile...

The whole world smiles! This was his very first "conscious smile" Who says you can't dress up little boys for fun too? Silas enjoyed sleeping at the lake instead of fishing or swimming. Anyone surprised? Our newest pastime consists of singing to Silas until he shows us his new array of smiles. Matthew discovered this newest ability when he began singing a classical ballad... I won't embarrass him by naming the lyrics. It doesn't matter how tired you are, this will make everything better! I mean come on. Are you still having a bad day? Did that make it better yet!? Had my  first few outing without the little man to go to coffee, dance, and this beautiful woman's wedding shower. Love you Christi! Thanks to my old roomie for some over-sized coffee mugs to start my day right. A cup of joe and the Word make life worth living. This is his favorite gesture.  I think he's solving the world's problems. That a boy Silas. I knew
