Yikes! It's been 10 years!





My 10 year high school reunion has come and gone. It's hard to believe that I graduated from high school 10 years ago. Sometimes it feels like forever, but then there are times where it doesn't seem that long ago. Michael and I went and even though there were very few people who attended (come on PHS, we graduated with over 500 people...what's up...can't make it to your reunion??!!) I do have to say that it was a good time and it was fun to see people that I haven't seen in a long time.

When I think back to May/June of 2000 when I was graduating from high school and ready to conquer all that Bloomington had to offer, it is funny to think how life has changed so much. I was so sure that I was going to Bloomington to become some great journalist and I would live in a large city and enjoy the fast paced life of deadlines and late night coffee. Ten years later, I am about to start my 6th year of teaching and I can't imagine doing anything else. Yes, education has its moments..its ups and downs where I'm convinced I must be insane to want to be a teacher. But I can't imagine doing or being anything else. And as I sit in my house in good ole' Niles Michigan, typing on my blog, listening to the rain, and watching my 2 lazy dogs sleep, I can't imagine being anywhere else. Everyone else can take the city life...I'm good here.
