I went on a first date with my now fiance on January 5th, 2020. We have made it through quarantining together, job loss and transitions, and Kalen probably having covid as well as bronchitis. All the stupid corny sayings are true. When it's right, it's easy and you just know. I have no doubt in my mind that he is the one for me for forever. Excuse me while I barf at how cute I am.
We had such a great time in Oregon and Washington. Being proposed to on a hike has always been my dream and this was super special. Other favorite things were wine tasting and staying in a motel right on the ocean.
In terms of other changes, I am transitioning to a new school soon. I got hired on at an elementary school in Cherry Creek School District. I am really excited because it is super diverse and the people I have met (most virtually) have seemed really nice. I am making goals around accepting that it is okay to not be perfect and to be flexible in how I work with kids. With covid, I am going to have to be creative whether we are in school or working remotely to try to stay as safe as possible.
This means I am leaving Reunion. I learned so much there and getting the chance to open a school was an amazing opportunity. The teachers there are some of the best I have ever worked with and I will miss them a lot. Special shout out to Mindy Bulmer for being a great teammate the past few years. I am making one of my new mantras for work, "What would Mindy Bulmer do?" because she is so cool, calm, and collected under pressure. Farewell Yetis!
This doesn't even begin to cover all that has happened this year but it's a start. Let's hope we get a vaccine soon!
I cannot believe it has been 9 years since I started this blog after my move to Chicago. Life is such a crazy ride.
