Welcome to my Silly Life

So I'm not quite sure what this whole blog this is about but I figured I would give it a shot.  I think I'm going to just start my first post with a little about who I am. 

I am a 25 year old teacher.  I spent the past year at my 1st/2nd teaching job (this is the first one where I was a certified teacher and not a teacher's aide).  I taught 4-7 Science 6-8 Boys Technology and 5th grade Social Studies it was challenging for my first gig but I survived and have recently been reassigned to something I nearly know I was destined to be...a 2nd grade teacher.  This past year I also moved out of my parents house and rented a house from the school. This is the first time I have ever lived on my own and paid all of my bills for the first time in my life I feel like a grown up and it is a good feeling. 

This past year has also brought about many changes in my life.  In February I ended a relationship with a guy that I had dated for nearly 3 years.  Some people couldn't be happier with this it has been a hard time for me.  I know I am better off without the stress that this relationship brought into my life but it is hard to realize that among all the good that was with the relationship sometimes "Love" just isn't enough. 

As it turns out life was not through with throwing me surprises in April I started to date someone new.  It was a new relationship in some ways but at the same time its an old one.  He was my first real boyfriend in high school and was actually my first kiss.  We stayed in touch off and on all of this time and somehow or another decided to give it a go.  It is definitely an adjustment after 3 years of the same thing but it is a good adjustment.  I see all of the things my other relationship was lacking and it is stress free and it is easy we can just kind of be and it is okay.  His name is Ross just in case I may blog about him in the future :)

I guess now it is time to talk about the true love of my life being as I know for a fact that she will sneak into every entry I have.  Last year for my birthday I received a Boston Terrier puppy I named her Bernice strange name I know but she is named after the Miranda Lambert song White Liar.  I fell in love with the song because that name was in it and she even used the word turpentine (sp.?)  I was impressed.  As disappointed as I was that Bernice was a Boston and not a Pug like I had wanted I begin to just fall in love with her and her personality.  I think this really happened when I moved to the middle of nowhere (which that is a story for another time)  all I have is her and all she has is me so we just have this bond.  So much of a bond that it has recently developed into separation anxiety which is turning into a problem.  I take tons of pictures of my dog and post them on instagram so I will probably post pictures on here as well :)  I would also like to write a children's book about her someday...how to go about this I do not know but it is a dream of mine :)
