Back to Work I Go!

The three weeks of drinking coffee in my pjs, time spent with Regis and Kelly, and no stress has all come to an end today. Semester 2 starts today, and I already have been receiving emails regarding students' grades. I just don't understand why parents don't read all the notices I send home, rather a few days before grades are finalized they want to inconvenience me and make miracles happen! I promised myself that I will not take things too personal this semester and not let anyone or thing get to me. I work as hard as I can and everyone I work with knows that, so I say, BRING IT ON!

January 10th- It's Our Anniversary!

Where did it all start?

Omar and I met in 1997 when I was 15 and he was 17. We both attended New Covenant Fellowship's youth group. I will never forget the first time I laid eyes on him...it was love at first sight (although he was unaware of my existence at the time) We dated throughout high school and it was in boot camp, I believe, when Omar realized how much I loved him. I waited patiently for him through the five years he served and honored our country in the Marine Corp. Although we had some bumps in the road in the beginning of our journey, our relationship was fortified through the time Omar spent in war in Iraq and the many sleepless nights I laid in bed clutching my blanket as I watched CNN with fear that something terrible might possibly happen to my beloved. Fortunately he returned healthy and in good shape. (You should have seen those abs!) We decided time was of the essence and didn't want to waste any more of it so we got married! We actually eloped in August, but nobody knows that (except you now)..It has been 6 years of martial bliss! It is amazing how fast time flies. We are now approaching our late twenties (yikes!) and are ready to start a family someday soon. For now we are blessed with rewarding careers, Omar being a SWAT Police Officer for Escondido and me working as a 6th grade teacher for Lake Elsinore. We have a beautiful condo in Temecula and wonderful family and friends. :)
