So much has changed in my life since my last post. I even thought about deleting all of my old posts but decided to keep it because maybe some day I will want to remember it! So here is an update on what has changed in the past year!
1. First HUGE change. I got married!!!! December 12, 2009, Jared finally made me an honest woman! I had a blast that day and not a day goes by that I don't think about our wedding day. It was a day full of emotions, memories, and fun! I will admit that I was sad that it was over for about 5 months after. Ok maybe I am still sad that it's over. Yesterday was 7 months! I know our one year anniversary will be here in no time! It is still crazy to me how time flies by so much faster now that I am an adult!
2. I finished my first year as a teacher! This time last year I was really not sure if I would even get a teaching job. I was really doubting my career choice and wondering if that's really what God wanted me to do with my life. I finally found a job at a small school teaching middle school English. It was not exactly what I wanted or even where I wanted to teach but in hindsight I have learned soooo much and really loved it!!! My fifth grade and my eighth grade class both had 100% passing scores on their TAKS test. I was SO proud of them and proud of myself!
3. A few months after we got married Jared and I decided that instead of rushing into buying a house that we should save money and really take time to decide where we want to live. (OK...and I need to work on my credit! oops!!!:() Anyways....after living with my sister for a few months we moved into a really cute apartment and are adjusting quite nicely to living alone!!;)
4. So number four is more about a major life change for Jared. Ever since I first met Jared when we were in college his dream was to start his own construction company. After college he worked mostly full time restoring hot rods and pursuing his dream on the side....AKA weekends/nights. Last August Jared decided that it was now or never so he quit the hot rod shop and started Brittain Construction Company. I cant believe August will be his one year anniversary! He has worked soo hard this year and I am extremely proud of him!
I guess that's it. Between two new jobs, a marriage, and a move we are still just Paige and Jared. Two crazy kids in love trying to grow up. I am really excited to see what the next year brings us and hopefully I will discipline myself to blog about it all!
P.S. Today is Jared's 28th Birthday!! It's crazy to think that I met him right after his 23rd Birthday! Weird! Happy Birthday Handsome! Love you!!
