My Blog was Nominated!

Thank you Carrie Jean over at Military Wife Life for nominating my blog for the Liebster Award! This is so exciting! I started this blog as a way for me to just get my emotions out, had no idea that people were actually reading :)!

 

 

With this award, I get to answer a few questions that the nominating blog wanted to know!

Fun right?

Here are those questions....

 

1.What is your favorite quote?

Hmm, I am a teacher, so it is education related. "The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires." -William A. Ward

2. What was the last song you listened to?

Brantley Gilbert- Fall into me :) LOVE that song!

3. What was your FIRST blog post about?

How much I love my guy. Seriously, he is amazing and I feel beyond lucky to have him in my life.

4. What is your favorite blog post that's on your site?

That is a tough one. I love all the posts because they are honest and real. When I go back and read them, it makes me remember the feelings I had at the time. Makes me fall in love with him even more. BUT if I had to choose, probably the first one about that IT feeling.

5. How did you come up with your blog's name?

Because I am patiently waiting for his return and I figured I would keep a diary of the entire process.

6. What inspires you?

People- other people inspire me, to either not be like them, or to have some of their amazing qualities, or to see things in a different perspective.

Feelings- My feelings inspire me to write. Most of the times I dont want to portray to people that I have all these feelings because I dont want to a)get on their nerves with my mushiness or b)show that I am so deeply in love with him because I dont want to get hurt.

Prayer- sometimes I just pray. When my feelings become overwhelming and I dont know what to do with them, I just pray. When I pray, it inspires me to do or say things.

My students- seeing and hearing about some of the things they have to go through on a daily basis, inspires me to be a better teacher. It makes me care a little more and want to give them the world at their fingertips so they can get out of that lifestyle and do something with thier future.

7. Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

By then I will have finished my Masters Degree, hopefully be married and on my way to starting a family.

9. What is your hometown, and what was it like?

10. What is your dream job?

I am a teacher and it is the only thing I have ever been 100% sure of. It is my passion and I am so lucky to be in it.

11. How long have you been blogging?

Since 2009. None of my blogs have really stuck because the things I was writing about, I couldnt be completely open and honest. I tried to blog about teaching, but it can be so politcal, so I try not to talk about it on the internet.
