Giveaway Winner Announced and Life Craziness!

Hey, folks! Did you miss me?! I apologize for the interruption in my regularly scheduled blogging. Life has been pretty hectic, but I am glad to say that I'm back and ready to blog with a vengence. ;)

First things first... I need to announce the winner of my 50 Follower Giveaway! So... <drum roll> the $15 Pampered Chef gift certificate goes to... Misty from Think, Wonder, & Teach! Misty, be on the lookout for an e-mail from me and we'll work out the details.

I'm also excited to say that I will be starting a new teaching adventure next fall. Over the last couple weeks, I was visiting another school district and went through a couple interviews. I was interviewed for a 2nd grade position and a 4th grade position. I was hired to teach 4th grade in a technology-enhanced classroom. It's always been a goal of mine to "amp up" my lessons more with technology (more than I do now), so I'm thrilled to have this opportunity.

In addition to moving to a new district, my wife and I have decided to move forward and begin the adoption process. This will be our first adoption and our first child, so we'll have plenty to share. Be on the lookout for a new blog from yours truly. :)

That's all I have for now, and I pinky promise to post on the regular from now on. I hope you all are having a wonderful Easter weekend!

Josh
