fun filled friday
i feel like i'm getting old. last night when nick asked what i wanted to do i decided i just wanted to be home. we ended up playing scrabble and listening to old christian music. we put in the 1996 WOW cd (for those of you who grew up listening to christain music) and were laughing at songs we remember "rocking out" to. they were not hard at all. then when a petra song came on we had a little moment remembering the "good ol' petra". come to find out nick had one of their cds from 1979!!! ( i did not realize they were that old!) he dug that out along with like 5 other cds of theirs and we flipped through the songs listening to them as they evolved. talk about an exciting night! haha. today is planning for my poetry unit, working on a correspondence class, and cleaning the house. i'm not looking forward to it all that much. when did my life become so bland and boring? last weekend i pulled out my picture boxes which go back to middle school. i was always with a big group of people, being goofy and dressing up a lot actually :) what happend to that? is it because i'm in a different stage of my life now that a few close friends is what i need instead of a big group to just be loud and obnoxious with? or have i pushed people away and become a hermit? honestly sometimes i feel better being alone. but then later i complain that i have no friends to do things with. i'm not sure what it is, but i'd like to be fun again.

HEy did you get my email? I need your email address...I dont know if I sent it to the right one...oops! Love you!
Hey Rachel... I can't tell you how much I love reading your blog. I think you are such a great writer and I always tune in to see what is going on.
I am so excited for your student teaching experience. I am a full time teacher in 7th grader language arts and love it so much. The students are at such a fun age. They are learning about themselves, observing change in themselves, and oh the relationships. How I love the middle school dating world? It is too funny. You and I are teaching very similar things. I have already taught figurative language and I am getting ready to start planning my poetry unit. If you would like any of my resources you are more then welcome to them. I can send them to through email or even mail you dittos if you would like.
I love in this entry how you talked about being to yourself. I moved to NC and I feel that way alot. I stay in touch with the same few good friends from college and a few from home. I really think it is the stage in our lives where we are perfectly content being to ourselves and the select relationships we have with others. I don't think we are boring by any means...just satisfied with life. I remember those days in middle and high school where dancing around like a fish out of water was the "cool thing" to do. Isn't it funny how we grow up.
Please keep in touch and let me know if you need any teaching resources. I am happy to share.
Love
Jenn Warner
