Spring is just around the corner...right?

Weight Loss Update: I have hit the 50 pound mark of my weight loss update! I am tooting my own horn but I am extremely proud of my accomplishments and what I have done to better myself! Thank you for believing in me and supporting me. You guys are the best!

Student teaching update: Today is now my 4th day of staying home from student teaching, due to the weather. Last Friday I got to teach the lecture as the teacher was gone and it was a blast. Many of the students asked questions about Cassidy and if she was my wife. At the end of the day on Friday they got to ask questions about her as long as they were school appropriate. One student even asked for her number! I couldn't do anything except for laugh. Tomorrow my supervisor is coming to see me teach as well. I am excited to have him observe me as well as continuing to move forward in getting my teaching license! 

Today's blog is about looking forward to the Spring. There are many things about the Spring that I love. The ending of Winter brings the annual Ski Trip with my family. We stay at the same hotel every year and go skiing at Giants Ridge. We play games and enjoy family time together. 

After ski weekend I really look forward to the Spring time. There is something about the Spring months that really gets me excited. March is my favorite month of the year. Spring Training for the Twins, and March Madness as well! Once April starts the Twins start playing their regular season games and it is nice that almost every single day we can turn on the TV and watch baseball. This year I am also looking forward to the horse racing season beginning. Last year I started watching the horses and really had fun learning about the sport of horse racing. This year I am looking forward to learning more about my new hobby and meeting new people in the sport. 


Finally this Spring brings graduation from SJU, which is one of the things on my bucket list. Graduating from college is something else that I can truly feel accomplished by and I look forward to celebrating with Johnnies and Bennies in May. 

Thanks for reading my blog as always. I appreciate all the kind words about my weight loss and my blog.
