Hello, 2015!

As the New Year rolls in, I see many people making resolutions the "New Year, New Me" goals get made. I can remember in the past where I've off the whim thought of something at the last minute to become my resolution for the year. And if you were to ask me a week later, I couldn't even tell you what it was that I supposedly committed to. 

Now, this year it has been different. I didn't try to think of something off the whim at the last minute. Since I have been home for the past two weeks, there has been a lot of time for me to reflect on this past year. If I were to sum up 2014, I would say that it was very rough. BUT...it's the rough things that taught and guided me to where I am now. 

While it wouldn't be right if I didn't make goals for the New Year, I don't want to characterize the goals that I made as resolutions. But since it's only the first day of the New Year it seems like it's a good time to put those goals into place. And since I am not calling them resolutions, I am hoping and determined to make these last longer than a week :) 

Tomorrow, I am heading back to Chevak and I couldn't be more excited to get back into the swing of things. I have missed my kiddos and I am excited to switch some things up in my classroom.
