up blogging again. i'm just going to delve right into it...
- i am a first grade teacher for the school year of 2009-2010
- i am an *auntie* of two beautiful half korean/half greek twins...olivia & lucas brentanos
- i am a home-owner!!
- i continue to struggle with headaches/migraines
- i am about to begin my journey with infertility
there are so many in-betweens and maybe i'll get there someday but for now, i'll start with my career. i am living my dreams and am a teacher to twenty-three amazing little people. there are days when i want to poke my eyes out and never return but i always end up coming back. our school has a high low-income demographic but they have a heart of gold. they work HARD and my hopes is that i can keep in touch with my students throughout the years and watch them graduate from college!! i have no idea what the next school year has in store for me but i know that this is my heart and i've loved every day of my job...(okay, that statement is probably false in a small way but for the most part, it's true)
my cousin june had two BEAUTIFUL (half greek/half korean) babies with probably the roughest pregnancy i have ever heard of. she had a rare case of OHSS but she was a trooper!! her and aleko are amazing people in my life and are loving parents to olivia and lucas
brentanos. i can't wait to meet you little boogers soon!! i'm so sad that we live so far away but i hope that i will get to be a part of their lives every chance i get.scott and i lived with his parents for nine months...WOWSERS. but truly it was such a blessing in disguise. i couldn't have asked for better in-laws. living with them was a great experience...dad cooked for us almost every night and i truly believe God placed us there for a reason. that reason being i started my first year of teaching and He knew how to alleviate some of the many stresses i would encounter.
right around christmas time of 2009, we bought our first home together!! it was our gift to each other that year and it just worked out that we got to spend our first night on christmas eve to wake up to our beautiful home christmas morning. i can't believe it's been a little over three months since we've been there...the Lord has been so good to us in so many ways and our home is one of the many blessings we will forever be thankful for!!
my migraines/headaches slow me down. i had some of my worst ones ever this past year. the first one happened the second day of school. i was bawling and hurled over the who
le car ride home. i thought maybe, just maybe i had chosen the wrong profession...turns out, i didn't. both of the experiences were awful. all i wanted and really could do was lay in the dark and try not to throw up. i really need to get it checked out...i don't know why i haven't done so already. fear of the unknown perhaps?and last...the newest chapter in my life. i am going to see my first acupuncturist. this is an attempt after going through two cycles of failed clomid and no signs of ovulation. dr. stewart referred me to another doctor who specializes in infertility. scott and i have been trying since last june and have had no success. we were totally okay with taking our time especially since i started my career in the fall and didn't spend too much time on why i wa
sn't getting pregnant. but now, having reached ten months with no sucess we are seeking and PRAYING fervently on God's grace once again. my first session is today at 4:30pm.
