Decisions Decisions

Now that I have finished my Masters, Jay and I agreed that we wanted to use our refund money this year to go on a trip together. Now to decide where...Here are our choices:

A) Disney World in November (Thanksgiving Break/my birthday)


B) New York City for New Years


C) A cruise next spring


We can't seem to make up our minds!

Master of Education, Instructional Leadership

I finished my Master's degree in exactly 1 year! I loved my program and look forward to it leading me in the next step of my career. I will start the Ed. S program this summer!! I graduated with highest honors (4.0), a member of Phi Kappa Phi, and was chosen as the outstanding graduate student in instructional leadership.

Home Sick

Strep...YUCK!
Who knew that you could have strep throat without a sore throat? My first symptoms were a killer headache, upset stomach, and fever. A trip to the doctor showed that I had strep. 2 shots and 2 prescriptions later, I had a prescribed day off from work to recover. It wasn't until my day off that my throat felt like it was on fire. Since my fever was still at 100 at 5:00 yesterday, I decided to stay home one extra day. I have officially caught up on all of the shows I had saved on DVR. Now I'm watching Julie and Julia and it made me realize that I hadn't blogged in a really long time. So get ready...here come a few entries on what has been happening lately.
