My favorite Saints Fan!   We had the best time at our Super Bowl party! Jeff, Jen and Jack came over and I made gumbo and other goodies. Jeff made some YUMMY Chinese Nachos that I swear I will have to get the recipe for. How amazing was that game?! I screamed, cried, jumped up and down and generally made a big old fool of myself. I am so thrilled for New Orleans and the entire state! It was just amazing, and one that I won’t soon forget.

Life has been chugging along. But in a bit of fantastic news…I GOT A NEW JOB! I full time, contracted, teaching position. I am so excited. I will be teaching high school ESE students at our county’s alternative high school. After nearly two years of long term subbing with a ton less pay and no contract, persistence has finally paid off. I have to transition out of my current classroom…which I hope to complete by the end of this week. This new job will be a HUGE HUGE HUGE challenge, but I am so looking forward to it.

My mom and dad has six inches of snow in Central Louisiana this week,..I hope she posts some pictures so that I can show you. Here in Florida, it’s has been really cold for February. We’ve been consistantly 20-30 degrees below normal for the last month, and I have no idea when it is going to end. I know everyone up north is just rolling their eyes at me, but really, I swear, my blood has thinned or something in the almost eight years (wow, where does the time go) that we have lived here. I hope to have more photos for you soon, but until then, here’s a photo from my trip home. Looks like the beavers have been busy on this tree..don’t you think?
