As another way to introduce myself, I decided to share a few pictures of the most important people in my life. They each mean the world to me and have some special connection with me. I love them all dearly and feel blessed to have them in my life. Xoxo
First, this is a picture of me as requested for class. This was taken in Jamaica in June 2012.
This is a picture of Michael, my boyfriend, my best friend, the love of my life [[besides teaching that is! ;)]]
Seven years ago Mike asked me out. I have been the happiest girl over the past seven years and look forward to many more years together! <3
My love, Mike, and I in Jamaica last summer!
My other favorite guy....our pup, Duke!
Another favorite guy of mine....my baby brother, Ryan, and I at my house.
My guys at home, spending some quality time hanging on the couch on a Sunday night before the work week begins again!
My boyfriend, Mike, and little brother, Ryan. They are my best buddies. Love hanging out with them! :)
My best friend from college, Casie, and I. She was one of my very first friends at LVC and we are still just as close as when we met as freshman almost 8 years ago. Looking forward to her wedding Labor Day Weekend!
My best friend, Ashley. She is one of the kindest, strongest, and loyal friends I have ever been lucky enough to know. She is always there as a support system and we have so many laughs together, too!
My support system at work. I am very lucky to work with such amazing women. I am thankful everyday to work with these ladies, as well as call them friends. We each have a very different role in our building yet find ways to work together and support each other through anything and everything. Left to right we have me (4th grade teacher), Ali (BSI teacher, K-2), Manuela (ELL teacher K-4), and Jen (1st grade teacher).
This is my amazing, adorable, smart, sweet, lovable, wonderul Keira Anne. She is my goddaughter and is five years old. She is one of my favorite people in the WORLD! She is so smart and always makes me smile and laugh. Watching her learn and grow is such a treasure. Cannot believe my Keira Koo starts Kindergarten this year!
Last, but certainly not least, in the photo collages above and below, I have my parents. They are my very first support system and the reason I am who I am today. I am lucky to have had two awesome parents who have helped me to pursue my goals and dreams. They have always been my number 1 fans then and now. Collage with mom above. Collage with Dad below. Love them both. <3

What a beautiful family! It's good to know you are surrounded by people who want to help you in your journey of successs. I'm the oldest of three and my baby brother is my world too!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind words, Dalhia! That was so nice. Having such a great support system is what gets me through each day, in addition to the students I am lucky enough to work with. My brother and I are almost 7 years apart but we are super close. We always have been. He is one of my best buds and I can be overly protective at times. Haha. Do you come from a big family? My immediate family is just my parents, brother, and I, but my extended family (mom's side) is huge!
