Ahhh Memories....




Here are the directions:
1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!
2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you.

I've included pictures of some of my favorite memories.  It sure is fun to reminisce!

School Days

Hello again World!

I'm sorry for my negligence with posting but life has been insane lately.  Believe it or not school has started again and I am back to the grind that all you normal working people do everyday.  Man, it's tough!  I've discovered in my four years as a professional ( I use that term loosely) that the educational field definitely has it pro's and con's.  The con's being you make less than a fast food worker and that sometimes you get no R-E-S-P-E-C-T!

Hello World!

Thanks to my wonderful, fantabulous, tech-savvy husband we have actually had a blog site since Christmas time.  I know, I know....most of you are thinking "But Aubrey, I didn't hear about your blog until recently."  Ah yes, and the reason is because I was completely stuck as to how to start our blog.  Have any of you ever had a brain fart?  Well I think I may have had a blog fart.  I had the hardest time knowing how to start, what would be interesting to people who may view it, and so on.

But very recently I had this very freeing experience that I am about to share with you all.  I have been taking a bunch of technology classes in order to update my skills (so my tech-savvy husband won't laugh at me) and in order to qualify for a lane change in my school district (in public school speak that means I make more money yahoo).   Our teacher was going over blogs and once again I had this pang of guilt knowing I wanted to start ours but didn't know how when he said seven beautiful words, "Most blogs have an audience of one."  All the sudden I realized that for the most part I'm going to be writing this for me and hopefully if others join in they'll enjoy little snippets of our lives too.

That being said I really hope those we like and love will tune in every once in a while.  We'll try to keep it interesting and I'll try not to only talk about my students at school (those who know me well know I like to tell funny stories about my students.)  Anyway, stay tuned for future postings!

Love to you all,

the Johnsons
