Running?!?

So in 2019 I am running a half marathon! I was actually suppose to run an 8k and a 5k in 2018 but well life happened so that didn’t! The 8k I presented at VSTE for the first time and the 5k Virginia saw an unusual December snow! So with that I am upping my running game! So I have started training! Do I like running? Nope not at all! Do I find it enjoyable? Nope but what I do enjoy is the clarity that it gives me! The push to do better! I also hate running on a treadmill but with rainy weather I really have no choice! I am looking forward to days where I can run outside for further distances! 

Where has time gone

So I started this blog in Nov 2011 and left it in February of 2012! So well what happened?? Life happened! I was in my 3rd year of teaching and Chris and I had just bought our house! We were finishing our first tour with the navy and moving into our 2nd!

 2012 brought great joy to our lives when Emma was born in December but well that’s another blog post! 

2014 I moved to 4th grade to teach gifted education! I got endorsed to teach gifted education through the university of Virginia 

Then 2015 brought two bundles of joy into our lives! 

2016 I moved to 2nd grade and embarked on my journey with google classroom 

2017 I went to a pd and started working with #ozobots where I found a love for robotics and all things that involve #edtech 

One Step

It's hard to believe that in 9 years of teaching that I would have found a love for edtech. I have spend much time in the last 2 years soaking up all I can about edtech and after attending the VSTE conference realizing that I have only touched the surface of edtech. It's funny to that I have picked back up this blog after almost 7 years. Now do I have time to keep this up...well probably not but well....let's see where this year takes us!!! So here begins my blogging journey on my more complete or just stratch the surface of well life as a mom of 3, teacher, fashion retailer, and tech lover!
