Beginning again, again

I've tried the blogging thing before, some times with more success than others. Big things are going on in my life, so I thought I would start anew and try chronicling the things going on in my world along with things in general that interest me (design, art, leading a bigger and better life, you know, the basics).

Currently, I am an elementary teacher but that will be ending with this school year, and I must admit I cannot wait! I just got an offer for a new job, which I think I will enjoy a lot more. Adding to the fun, I am learning to be a real adult. I bought my first house last summer, and am slowly but surely fixing it up with my fiance, although limited funds and time is forcing us to be creative and work through things in small amounts. We just got a dog (rescued from a shelter, a big huge white pit mix that might be the calmest dog in the world) and we are planning on getting married at the beach in July of 2009, although nothing has actually been planned yet.

In a nutshell, that is my life. It has been a hard few years, but I think I am finally seeing the potential in what I have. As the French say, après la pluie, le beau temps.
