Busy summer!!

Wow, this summer is flying by!! Working all day, every day really makes time go by fast! Work has been going alright. Each day is pretty crazy with around 18 (give or take a few) 6 year-olds in my class! We've had some fun field trips though and I've been learning a lot. I've realized that I really like the school setting much better than the daycare setting! So let's pray that I can find a teaching job after this next year of school!! I've also been learning patience, behavior management, and how to be loving in stressful situations! It's a rewarding experience though because, even though I feel like I'm constantly correcting their behavior, they still like to have fun with me and they tell the other teachers that they miss me when I'm gone. One of my kids today brought me a snack! She said they were out of apples at home, so she brought me a granola bar. :)

Two weeks from tomorrow should really be interesting. At the end of June, I visited some friends who were camping in the Dells. To make a long story short, the guy at the front park office let me in without buying a day parking pass. Later that night, a park ranger saw that I didn't have a pass and said that he would talk to the guy at the office earlier that night. He said that if the guy at the office denied letting anyone in, he would send me a citation. Well, 3 weeks later, I got one in the mail. Not only is the citation a rediculous $250-something, but he wrote up a report about what happened and basically lied about the details. So, in order to get this dropped or reduced, I have to go to the court in Baraboo to fight it. As evidence against the details the ranger lied about, I need to have my friends that were there write out what they remember happening. I've never fought anything in court, so I'm really nervous about going!! I'm sure it'll all work out though because God is faithful!

Other than that, I've just been enjoying my weekends off work! I've been going home quite a bit for various things, and I've gone a couple places with my family. Last weekend was awesome because my dad was able to get him, my sister, and me backstage to meet Carrie Underwood at Summerfest!!! She was so nice and amazingly gorgeous!!!! It was definitely one of my favorite meet and greets!! Next week, I'm going to Country Thunder to see Keith Urban, Carrie Underwood (again!!), Miranda Lambert, and Leanne Rimes! I might even get to meet one or two of them!! :D
