Life Since Graduation

I am a newbie to this whole blogging thing, but thought I would give it a chance with all of the new, exciting things happening in our lives. There is so much new in our lives that we want to share with friends and family that I don't even know where to begin. Please keep checking back for any updates!
Here's the latest:
I graduated in May from UW-L and I am teaching Kindergarten in Onalaska, WI. I have a beautiful classroom with all the resources a first year teacher could ask for and a team of 9 other kindergarten teachers to collaborate with. It is a completely exhausting job and I work way too many hours, but I love it. I make it through each day by knowing that every year will get a little bit easier, and with the support of my co-workers of course! I have 22 children in my classroom from a variety of backgrounds; It's a really neat mix of children. I recently read a quote from a Chicken Soup for the Teacher's Soul book that made me laugh and perfectly decribed teaching kindergarten. "Teaching kindergarten is like trying to keep a room full of ping pong balls all underwater at the same time." - Suzanne Boyce
Rob works as an officer at the Jackson Correctional Institution in Black River Falls, WI. He has almost an hour commute to and from work each day, but fortunately has found a coworker he can carpool with. Rob continues to work part-time at Best Buy here in Onalaska.
We currently live in Holmen, WI in a brand new 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom townhome. It is just perfect for us and only about 15 minutes from my work. We've definitely made it our home.
We're getting very excited that our wedding is now only 6 months away. I can't believe how quickly it is coming. Everything seems to be coming together so nice. Rob has done such an amazing job with wedding planning and decision making, as I am the most indecisive person EVER. It's great that he can make a quick decision and isn't afraid to get involved in the planning! I can't wait for us to plan all the final details.
At times it seems completely surreal that I have such an amazing job and fiance and a wedding only months away. This is definitely a new phase in my life and I wouldn't trade it for anything :)
