The one with Disciple Now Weekend.

This weekend I had the awesome privalege to hang out with a bunch of youth. I love working with youth. They are so funny, and they get me to think. My youth group is awesome, and having a full weekend of them is always a pleasure. I was telling Monse, "It doesn't seem like that long since I've been out of youth group, but honestly A LOT has changed since I've been a youth, to when I started to work with youth."
Our first thing was a mixer game!

I SHOULD HAVE STUDIED MORE!


Monse and I had a bunch of girls at the rayners house. HOLY CRAP! This house was amazing. Megan (the girls at the end of this picture) just stared and said "I could fit my house in the garage!!" So Megan, Marissa, Angie and I got there first and settled on a mini shoot.


These two are really best friends.
Meet Jerome. He is the associate pastor of Wickenburg Baptist church. We met last year, our youth group, worked with his youth group to help a VBS. It was awesome. We were very excited to have him as our speaker. Also, he is follower....so ya know I gotta give a shout out. BOLOGNA!
Ninja anyone?
Some of my jr. high girls.



Andrea...waving.
Yeah, Cassi has NEVER been in front of a camera before.


Last day. "It feels like were leaving a sorority house!"

We had a great time and learned so much! I love these kids! Can't wait for our next event! :D

The one where I'm socially awkward.

I never know how to act around people I just met. Or barley met. Or hardley know. Most of my close friends couldn't stand me the first time they met me. Yes, this includes the love of my life, a Mr. Elias Hernandez. But I guess it goes back to high school...... Insert flashback noise from Waynes World.....no? Moving on. I was a terrible person back in high school. I mean wow. Just awful. My mouth is what got the best of me. Either horrible rumors and gossip behind people back, or snarky sarcastic remarks in front if people I was MEAN! Whenever I met someone, I could not look past their faults. Anyone. If I saw someone I would automatically think of something I don't like about them. It was bad. Eventually I let God take care of me. By the end of senior year I had done some damage control and cut some fat from my friends. I ended up with only 3 friends at my high school. Yup 3. That's it. Love those three girls. You know who you are. So, in letting God get a hold of ...

The one with the really fun English teacher.

I've discussed the mom thing enough. You're probably like "Okay. We get it. You're bad at this. Move on." Will do! Let's discuss something I am relatively okay at: teaching. This is currently year 5 in the classroom for me. I've been at my current high school for 3 of those years teaching mostly 11th grade English, (every once in a while they like to throw in a sophomore or a senior group). I love this class. The age, the content, the behavior, the literature- everything. This is my sweet spot. I honestly have been sitting on this blog post for over 4 weeks now, in this exact spot. I have NO idea how I want to shape this blog or even begin to talk about my love for education. Management? Content? Students? English? Parents? Environment? Professional Development? There are literally so many things to talk about with education, that I've had the worst time narrowing down what it is I want to discuss in my first education themed blog. I w...

The one with stuff I wanna do.

Basic list of stuff I wanna do. No I'm not trying to be like Buried Life. Except that I am. 1. Finish school. Yes it might seem like something that's "Eh," I have now concluded to the fact that school  is not working for me. I am not a good student. At all. So there ya go. 2. Put a ring on it. Or have him put a ring on it. I could go on for days about my wedding, and more impotantly being married. But, everytime I talk about it go wayyyyy overboard. So movin on. 3. Learn to be good with babies. Yes I can work with kids. Pretty much any age after 2, I got this. Babies....ahhhhhh. 4. Learn to be Susie Homemaker. I wanna knit, sew, cook, and what have you. I was going to say have a clean house... But who are we kidding. I just know be a super creative and awesome wife and mom. 5. Be a teacher. I've been super discouarged lately about my teaching and educating abilities based on the mere fact that I am such a horrible student. My logic is, how on earth can...
