January - My year started out in boxes. I moved from Austin to Houston for a new job.
February - February was so crazy adjusting to new job/new place to live/etc that I can't find any pictures...
March - I took a long weekend to visit my friend, Krystal, in California. She was working on her Masters at Pepperdine University in Malibu and living in Santa Monica. It was so fun!
April - April was TAKS-crazy.
May - I finished my spring semester working with some awesome kids to help them with TAKS.
June - Celebrating Krystal's birthday in Houston with some bingo and fun girls at Sawyer Park in Houston.
July - I finally had a free summer to go to South Padre Island for the annual family trip. (I had to miss a few years for work) Andie loved going on the boat in her life jacket!
August - I decorated my first classroom, met 120 sixth graders and began my first year of teaching and coaching!
*I also found out I was going to be an AUNT in August!! (there's no picture of that.)
September - I spent most of August, September and October like this... coaching my 8th grade volleyball team.
October - Claudia and Daniel got married!
We also pulled off a huge surprise retirement party for my dad! After 37 years in the Houston Fire Department, he deserved a night to reunite with his old friends and all the family that came.
AND, I got a new car!!
whew.... October was BUSY!November - My parents and I drove to Austin to meet my sister and brother-in-law for a day they were in town. I loved spending time at The Oasis and walking around campus.
My dad's parents, my uncle and brothers all came into town for Thanksgiving.
December 2010 - I survived my first semester of teaching!
My family went on a Christmas cruise to celebrate my dad's retirement. We went to Grand Cayman, Cozumel, Belize and Roatan.
And I finished off the year with some amazing girls for my first New Years Eve out in Houston.

I am a principal in a middle class district who comes from a previous world similiar to that of the child featured in If she only knew. In my 4 years working in my current district We have focused so much on Mind Set, Differentiation, RTI and other best practices over the years! I really love teachers like you who get it and realize that the human condition, though it may differ from person to person is something we must understand and work our best at to address. Best of luck as you continue your journey.
