Hello there!
For many of my education classes I am expected to complete observation hours, which before this semester just the thought of it completely and utterly stressed me out. What I didn't know was how much fun I would have getting to know some of these little sweethearts!
One of my teachers that is requiring observation hours assigned me to a wonderful kindergarten class with a relatively new teacher, who happens to be a UAB alumni. The location was iffy to me at first, but when I arrived I was shocked. The school was only two years old and full of friendly students and staff. I felt completely welcome.
The children were so kind and curious! They each greeted me with a smile and told me their names. They were soon to be-friend me, as kindergarteners do, and I never had an empty hand or an empty seat next to me for the rest of the day. Their little smiles warm my heart and have a contagious way of making me smile also.
The moral of the story is don't ever set yourself up for failure; you never know how a situation will turn out. I'm very lucky to be placed in the lives of these students, even if it is only for a short time. I look forward to my next day of observation!

Happy Valentine's Day!
So, being my first blog post, I wanted to write about something very special. Yesterday, Monday, February 14, 2011, was Valentine's day and the first between my sweetheart and I. I had a wonderful day, starting with the great weather. It was a sunny 65 degrees and an awesome day to relax, take pictures, and play frisbee on the green at UAB with some of my fellow Golden Girls. We had lunch together, accompanied with Valentine's balloons on every table in the commons at UAB, and then had a blast enjoying the great weather.
I was sort of dreading my 5:30-8:00 pm class, because it was hindering my hearts day special events. But, little did I know my professor would have mercy on love day and let us out around 6:30! I was ecstatic that I could have a great Valentine's dinner. My wonderful boyfriend had me a few surprises, some hugs and kisses, and reservations at Brio, a Tuscan Italian restaurant. The food, service, and atmoshpere was on a high standard. It was absolutely great! I would recommend it to any couple, family, or friends. They have a website, and you can check it out for yourself!

Needless to say, I had the best Valentine's day so far. I'm so thankful for all those who love me!
