First BLOG of the new school year!

 Hello firstie parents!

It was so great to meet all of you last week and get to know you and your firstie a little bit better. And I thought that I would share a few things about me so that you can get to know ME a little bit better! 

This will be my 7th year at Trinity and my 20th year of teaching overall (I CAN'T POSSIBLY be that old!!).  Before I moved back to Bay City, I lived and worked in the metro Detroit area. My first teaching position was actually in Bay City, at Immanuel Lutheran.  I taught there for 4 years. 

I am not married and haven't been blessed with any children...however, I do have a dog, Stella, who is like my fur child.  Stella is an American Eskimo dog, who is almost all white, and is a VERY sweet girl. She is totally mama's girl, and LOVES to be around people.  She is 2 1/2 years old.  I have a younger brother who lives out in Arizona and my parents are both retired and still live in my hometown of Muskegon. 

A few of my favorite things are: 

Favorite color: yellow or blue

Favorite flower: tulips (but really I like ALL flowers!)

Favorite store: Target or Aldi or Marshalls

Favorite snack: veggies or pretzels and hummus

Favorite guilty pleasure snack: m+ms or milk chocolate toffee (I am not a fan of dark chocolate)

Favorite restaurant:  Uno's or Lucky's or Cracker Barrel 

Favorite Fast Food:  Culvers or Subway

Favorite Drink:  Snapple (Peach) Iced Tea, Hint Water, Coffee (with cream and sugar....I can't drink it black yet)

Favorite Bible Verse: Jeremiah 29:11

Favorite sports team:  I still follow my high school football team, the Muskegon Big Reds. 

I have many fox things because I had a dog that passed away a few years ago, that looked a lot like a fox.  I like foxy things! I LOVE to spend time at the beach in Muskegon when I am able and Lake Michigan is my fav! I also LOVE fall and can't wait for cooler temperatures.  

As our year unfolds, I ask that you please keep our class, our school, our teachers, and me in your prayers.  I will be doing the same!  Thank you for sending your firstie to be a part of our Trinity family and I will see you bright and early in the morning! 

Don't forget to send me a picture of the little activity that you do tonight with your kiddo. 

Blessings!
