It feels like forever since I've visited this little corner of the internet, but I'm back for the first time in 2016 to share a little life update and a big announcement at the end!
Chris and I brought in the New Year with our friends Morgan, Paige, Kane, & Brett at Brett's parents house on the lake.
We had such a good night full of laughter, great food, fireworks, and re-telling old stories.
We got to spend some time with Dexter and Lola this Winter/Spring and have had a blast letting them ride Willow and Wrangler, having Lola make good friends with Velvet, and teaching Dexter to work on my truck.
Chris and I got the opportunity to represent Clay County at the Alabama Young Farmer's Conference in February competing in the Outstanding Young Farm Family division.
Although we didn't win this year, we had so much fun competing and meeting other young farmers from around the state.
We've spent several Sunday afternoons checking our calves, they're growing like crazy!
This past weekend we went to the SLE Rodeo in Birmingham.
Chris and I have been every year since we started dating back in 2013 and I love the tradition, it's always a fun night.
And now for my big announcement. . .
I have my own classroom!
Well, let me explain ;)
I have been completing my Student Teaching at Central High School under the direction of my high school history teacher & mentor, Mr. Will Haynes.
Coming to the end (it officially ends on April14th), there was a military leave happening over in the junior high building and they needed a Geography teacher.
I jumped at the opportunity and I am currently teaching 6 classes of seventh graders geography at Central Junior High School of Clay County and loving every minute of it.
Mrs. Dianne Stewart is currently mentoring me while I complete my internship, but after April 14th, I will be on my own until the end of the year.
I'm so thankful for this opportunity and have been supported in every way by everyone at CJHS and my family/friends.
Next step...graduation: coming up on April 29, 2016!
xoxo, Jordyn
