HOME LIFE: My favorite part of life. I am married to the most wonderful husband in the world. We have almost been married for 9 years and for a 28 year old woman... I don't think that is too bad. He is my best friend and a day without him seems like an eternity. We have been trying to have a child for almost 3 years, but that is another post on a different day. But overall to sum that up, INFERTILITY SUCKS! But we have realized over these 3 years that as long as we have each other we can conquer anything! We have 3 beautiful animals. Missy, a mixed breed dog, Dexter an American Bulldog and Hound mix, and Teddy a Russian Blue cat. We live in the middle of no where and that is the way we like it. Fun and relaxing at the same time.
WORKING WOMAN: That's right... I work... Did I mention that I work??? Yes that's right I work and boy it feels like I am always working. I am a fourth grade teacher. I love teaching, dislike some of the regulations placed upon teachers, and love my children to death. They make it all worth it. These kids have some very interesting personalities and comments that I cannot wait to share with you... Of course their names will be changed to protect their dignity. I teach a transition class meant to help students who did not pass third grade transition to fourth grade and continue to grow in a progressive manner. I come up with a lot of my own units and activities that I do in my classroom. I do have a TPT store titled It Takes Two Teachers, where I share some of my activities. I also work in an after school program Monday through Thursday where I assist children with homework. Teaching is tough, but definitely a rewarding profession.
HOLLY'S JOLLIES: My husband laughed at this... But I don't care... These are the things that I do when I'm not working or cleaning or sleeping... I love to work with Cricut. I have a Cricut Expression bought for me in 2010 when I graduated from college. I use that thing and use it and use it and USE IT! I mainly cut adhesive and heat transfer vinyl. I love making and designing shirts for friends and family and for myself!!! I just finished a buttercream cake decorating class and am excited to use my newly learned skills at my home and parties. I love my SHE SHED!!! Yes I am on the SHE SHED band wagon and though mine is not finished I still love working on it and decorating it. My husband and I built it by hand, I put up the walls on the inside, painted, and have been working on decorating it for months... Such a costly and time consuming experience, but I am sure it will be worth it in the long run. I am addicted to Pinterest... Sad but true... Find me on Pinterest by searching my username hpatrick1024. I also enjoy hot baths on Friday nights with my DVR and the latest episode of American Horror Story... Addicted... But most of all... I feel like I stay busy, get little sleep, and live my life to the fullest.
So that's me... Holly... Come along with me as I share my life with you, my fun times, my hard times with infertility, the fun times with family, my pets, and my Cricut, and my life in general... In closing let me share something my husband picked out for me... And too bad for him I just heard our town is getting a HOBBY LOBBY!!!!!
