Oh, Hey There, Blog.

I'm in a blogging slump. I have 4 or 5 posts titled and awaiting content, but I have not been feeling the motivation to do it. Things got so busy (and fun!) over break that there was no time to keep up with it. Okay, that's probably a lie. I just haven't felt like blogging, and now I feel guilty.

I'm sure you've all been anxiously awaiting my next post so you could know what we've been up to. That's probably a lie, too, but I will give you a little current update before updating the rest of my empty posts.

Since we got back from our Thornock family vacation in San Antonio, we've jumped right back into school. Spencer's taking a whopping 7.5 credits this semester and I'm in 7th grade. Spencer loves his bowling class, and is determined to break 200 one of these days. He's also taking a French history class to earn a French certification and his last major class, bacterial pathogenesis. I've started student teaching, and I'm exhausted.

Sometimes I just sit and watch all the students and recall that 7th grade is a terrible time of life. Okay, it's not terrible, but it sure was awkward. 7th grade science is just a semester long course at my school (don't even get me started on how terrible of an idea that is). I started last week, but today was the first day of the second semester, so I'm just meeting "my" students now. I'm not really nervous about it at all, but it is stressful. Being on my feet all day is a tough change for me, and sometimes it is tiring to teach the same lesson 6 times a day. I usually go to the gym after I'm done until Spencer get's off work, but then I come home, have dinner, and fall asleep on the couch by like 8:30. When I wake up I decide if it's an acceptable time to go to bed for real or not. That has been contributing to the blogging slump.

So that's pretty much all that we've been up to. Last week we went to help Josh and Katy load up their moving truck, and we're sad that they are gone to snowy Minnesota. Spencer and Carrina were becoming good little buddies. She just adores him.

Oh, and I made Colin, Josh and Katy's baby boy due this spring, an adorable baby blanket. It's my favorite one that I've made so far. It's so snuggly warm. :)
