The last few months at a glance

Howdy doody everybody!

So since I am so slack at posting, I have now not posted since like April (or May) - I have got a few posts that need editing before I finally publish them but they can wait for now. 

I thought I would fill you all in on the adventures since my last post....

May
nothing too exciting that I can think of apart from....

  • starting my final practicum of my Teaching Degree and working for church - we ended up having an amazing family fun night at the church for the kids/youth and their families and had a great turnout so was over the moon.


June
this was a long long time ago and so much has happened so I feel that I will probably leave something out but here goes anyway 
  • celebrating a few friends 21st birthdays. 
  • Struggling through practicum but went every day for 8 weeks only to find in the last two weeks that it would most certainly not be my final practicum and I would have to do another - lets not even go into details. 
  • Having Bret and Heidi Maunder move back to Australia - flip this is one amazingly incredible couple and I love them to pieces (and really really miss them too)
  • Finished practicum and planed to do assignments - yeah right 
  • Oh and I almost forgot, Mum and Dad sold their house in Hastings :) 
July
Hehe, this was certainly a month of ups and downs, of adventure, trails and tribulations... what a journey it was in a few short weeks.  


  • My 22nd birthday which was an amazing celebration spent with our 'Waikato Family' from Totara Springs and Matamata Bible Church
  • Winter Teen's Camp at Totara Springs
  • One of my Aunt's 50th Birthday's where we got to catch up with the whole family again for the first time since our wedding - it was a really special time :) 
  • Family wedding on Nat's side of the family
  • Car broke down and then decided to die on us - oh boy what an adventure that certainly was
  • Started my final semester of my teaching degree
  • Had some more professional driving lessons
August
to be honest right now as I am writing this post, I can not remember much that happened in August apart from....
  • finding out my newest sister in law 
  • mid semester break from university - was still struggling with assignments
  • Went back to Hawkes Bay to visit the parents/friends/family and had a nice few days away from Waikato
  • More driving lessons
  • Continuing to have a blast with our kids ministries at church
  • Celebrating more birthdays
  • Celebrating friends having babies and finding out other friends are pregnant
  • Was feeling absolutely exhausted and over university
September
hmmmm, what happened in my life in September? 
  • Headed back to university for my last 6 WEEKS!! Ekk, it was such a nice feeling. 
  • Started to apply for teaching jobs for next year - suddenly this whole idea of me being a teacher seemed so much more real.
  • Continued on struggling with assignments and lack of motivation even thought there were only a few weeks left of uni
  • Received my first rejection letter for a teaching job - if this has not seemed real before now then it certainly did now
  • I found out where I was going to be placed for practicum and went in to meet my teacher a couple of times
  • Finding out I am going on camp while on practicum 
October
Much more fresh and more recently in my mind than the other few months so forgive me but there could certainly be a lot to list from October - and its not even over yet.... whoops!
  • The last few weeks of university
  • Planning for life after university 
  • Continuing to apply for teaching jobs - without any luck so far but I know the right job will come up soon
  • Sending my husband off to teens camp and getting the house to myself for a few nights
  • Road trips to Auckland to see Mary Poppins the Musical - ahhhhhhhhhhhh, it was like fantastically amazing
  • My first time being in my new class for practicum and having an absolute blast
  • Getting stressed over silly little assignments and craming at the last minute for a massive 30% test
  • Celebrating the end of uni with friends
  • Handing in my last assignment of my teaching degree
  • Spending more time in my practicum class and being allowed to do the roll and bus duty on my first two days!!! WOW
  • The end of my weekly commuting between Matamata and Hamilton. 
  • Winning a photography voucher with those random competitions in the supermarket
  • Realising it is now two years since I shaved my hair for CanTeen
Currently
  • Pondering what the future has to hold and getting excited while sitting here realising I have not updated my blog in a long time and thinking I should do this, hence the reason for this post!
