Whew! We have both been so busy since the last time I wrote. This semester has been incredibly intense for me. I'm functioning on LOTS of coffee and 10hrs of sleep a week due to the amount of lesson planning I have to do along with regular class and work. Tyson has been working ungodly hours himself. When he's not at the PD, he's picked up extra jobs on his days off, or in between shifts. We're building character people! :) Also, Tyson just finished decoy school. With a few bites and bruises, he brought home some very useful information he could use when working with bite dogs. He had so much fun, and everyday he came home with the biggest smile on his face. He was so excited to tell me all of the neat new things that he had learned, as well as I was excited to hear about his day. I saw some video of the training and it's AMAZING what these dogs can do. They are so smart! I can't wait to get our new little one! Otherwise, Tyson has been working hard in the police world.
Speaking of our new little one, the breeder posted a new photo of our litter up on his website. Their eyes are open! YAY! They are so cute. He also has a video up of the litter that was born a couple of weeks before ours. It is so cute. If you log on to http://www.masonsmalinois.com/ and click on the PUPPIES link, you can see photos of our litter which is litter E. You can even check out the video of the litter D to see some malinois puppies in action! SO ADORABLE!
As far as the wedding, I'm dreaming up wedding colors, dresses, stationary, etc! There's not much that is new except that I'm trying to organize my thoughts which has been pretty hard to do lately due to my student teaching/internship stuff.
On that note! I LOVE THIS STUDENT TEACHING THING! I'm not OFFICIALLY labeled a FULL TIME student teacher, but I'm in the first part of it, and I LOVE IT! Every day when I go to meet with my mentor teacher and my class, I'm so excited to get ready to teach. The children are responding to me very well, and it's exciting! I love that I'm getting thrown in, and getting full hands on experience. Thank goodness for all of this training or I would be a lost teacher when I graduate. I just recently worked with two fourth graders on writing books, and we had an Author's Celebration. I got to meet their parents and they were wonderful! They were so appreciative of the fact that I worked one on one with their children to get them to write better. The children LOVED the celebration, and I loved it because it gave me a sense of accomplishment. I successfully taught the writing process! Woo hoo! Below are some pictures of the event. Being a teacher is definitely a HARD, but rewarding job...............and that I'm learning....
