2009

Everyone keeps blogging about 2009 and I'm going to be a follower and follow them.. 2009 was a rough year,but full of bittersweet moments...

January- Became very happy when I went back home to Vegas after a Cold Christmas and New years in NY. I definatly am not a cold weather gal...

Feburary- Worked my butt off at Desert Oasis High school getting things in order for our Valentines Candy gram sale.. As well as a huge La Fiesta De amor event for the high schoolers before the last basketball game.

March- Really got into coupoing and saving money. Started to become obessed with Walgreens and CVS deals. I also took a Visit to Idaho to visit an old roomate who I hadnt seen in years. It was crazy how we still clicked like we did 5 years ago when we were roomates :)

April- Since I wss the Student Council Advisor I got to take 5 High School students to Sparks Nevada to a leadership confrence. What an amazing experience, so insperational. It had council kids from the entire state of Nevada. On a sad note I started to get some info that I may not have my job next year because of budget cuts. Luckily I get a job offer at another school teaching the same thing.

May- My lovely sister and her friend AJ came out to Vegas. It was nice showing them around and spoiling them by getting them a room on the strip and taking them out to a nice dinner. On a bad note My job at the other school gets a no go beacuse someone who has more years under their belt bumps me out.

June- My mom comes out to visit a few weeks before school is over for the year. The day she arrives I get called into the principals office, he puts a lady on speaker phone and she tells me I have been rifted for the upcoming school year. I now have no job. This was a really hard for me. My mom defintaly came on a good weekend. She looks for new jobs while she is there for me, I call tons of places to see they still have openings. Friends Rick and Collette come to visit while my mom is visiting. We try to make the best out of a hard time. School at Desert Oasis comes to a close, I pack my things and head to Arizona for an interview at a school located in Avondale Arizona. The interview goes great and before leaving they offer me a job. What a blessing...

July- I pack up my stuff in Vegas and pack up a moving truck. I dont say many good byes in vegas because it hurt like pulling a band aid off. I move into my new and much nicer apartment unpack my things and start work a week later.

August- My first days of new students in a new state is exciting and nerve racking. I use to teach rich snobby kids in Vegas. Now I am teaching poor kids who really dont have much.

September- Start becoming crafty and enjoy ready craft blogs. Try creating my own things.

October-Continue to craft it up halloween style host a really nice "enrichment" meeting at church with halloween crafts and foods.

November- Named employee of the month at my new school. Kinda crazy how much they appreciate all the work I do already and we are only in the 3rd month of school. If only my last school realizled that. For thanksgiving I decide to stay in Arizona and shop all day and have Mcdonalds for dinner.

Decemeber-THe month went quick and I soon returned back to NY for Chrismtas with the family. It was very cold and I wasnt really into going out and visiting people. I once again deliverd presents to the poor in ELmira with my fav people. And I also taught them a lil spanish :)

I think that wraps up my 2009. ALready 2010 has been AMAZING!! I will contuine to work harder to update this.
