Teacher Week '13: Let's Talk About Me Monday

I can't believe that summer is over and it's time to go back to school this week. I had a meeting at 8am...eek! Since I was already up, I spent the rest of the day in my classroom, trying to get ready for the school year and tomorrow's Blog Hoppin' topic. Today, I'm linking up with Blog Hoppin' for Teacher Week '13: Let's Talk About Me Monday!

>1< I love teaching! So much that I left a leadership position to go back to the classroom this year. I am looking forward to meeting my 6th graders!

>2< I was in the Army for six years. I went to the Army after college when I couldn't find a job in accounting. I had a great experience in the Army and got to do things I never would have done, had I not been in the Army! When I post Army pictures, I usually use the clean, patriotic ones...figured I'd give you a picture that actually looked like I did something this time.

>3< My face often speaks before words ever leave my mouth. If looks could kill, there would be some dead bodies on account of my facial expressions. I'm working on that!

>4< I have a phobia of balloons. Well, phobia may be a bit extreme, but I seriously dislike balloons. Blame it on a childhood experience at field day. I hated running to the chair and sitting on that darn balloon.

>5< My husband and I had a small wedding of only 24 guests. We were married on the same day we started dating a year prior...hope that makes sense...we started dating 2/12/09 and married on 2/12/10. I thought it was such a novel idea. If I had to do it again, I probably wouldn't have chosen a date so close to Valentine's Day.

>6< My favorite candy is Reese's Peanut Butter Cups! I even took a picture with him/her/it when I visited the Hershey store in Chicago!

>7< My favorite number is 21, my line number when I pledged Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. Oo-oop!!! I love my line sisters! We always have a great time when we get together!

>8< I usually get car sick when I ride in the back seat of a large vehicle...and lately, when I ride in the passenger seat too, so I prefer to drive rather than ride!

>9< I absolutely loved high school (and college). I personally think my graduating class had the best 10-year class reunion ever. Granted, I've never been to another class reunion, but I know ours was a blast! My hubby always talks about it and how I'm a different person when some No Limit, Cash Money, or LL Cool J comes on.

>10< I have the best friends! They went skydiving with me for my 30th birthday and flash-mobbed me for my 31st birthday! Don't mind me and my laughing all through the video...I was so tickled!

Alright, there's my 10 fun facts! Hope I make it back tomorrow with a classroom tour!
