Married life?



1. Do you have any nicknames and if so how did it come about?
I have MANY nicknames! My dad gave me the nickname Leonard when I was born, and my friends shortened it to Lenny when I was about 12. People also call me Kare Bear since we grew up on Care Bears and my name is Karen. Those are the 2 I have had the longest.

2. What is your birth order amongst your siblings?
I am youngest of 2. My sister is 4 years older so we were only at the same school together in Elementary school and I think she LOVED it being that way! =0)

3. In a movie of your life, who would play your significant other?
Someone goofy! Haha, I don't know who hubby looks like, but I can think of a few guys I wouldn't mind playing him! ;)

4. What is currently your favorite song?
Hmm, I don't know. I think pretty much EVERY song on the radio is overplayed, and I'm awful at putting in CDs or my Ipod, so I tend to hear the same things over and over again. I haven't gotten sick of Shinedown's The Crow and the Butterfly yet, so I'll say that one.

5. Are you saving your money for anything right now? Big or small purchase?
I am saving money to get my finances back in check! I was in an accident the end of January and totaled my car so I bought a car (paid cash); bought a house in May; got married in July and went to Hawaii on our honeymoon. Tanner's already talking about our anniversary trip, so I guess I could say I'm saving for that! I am also starting a savings account for our future (and very nonexistent!) kid(s). I know I'm thinking ahead, but with the way the economy is and how expensive colleges are, not to mention just the cost of having a baby, I'm getting prepared.


Tanner's in Tahoe right now for his brother's bachelor party and I am VERY jealous! They went on a hike today and he sent me a picture and it's GORGEOUS there! He also spent most (ALL) of last night gambling, but walked out up $350 so that's exciting. I do miss him a lot though. He'll be home 1 week and then is leaving me again for a week, only when he leaves again he'll be leaving the country! Eeek! We've never spent so much time apart.

Tomorrow is our back to school day/Meet the Teacher. I am looking forward to meeting my students, but I do not feel prepared for this year! Thankfully I am not teaching Social Studies like I originally thought (mistake on P's part), but being outside has not gotten better. I don't MIND being out there, but when it rains (like today) there is no going inside without getting wet! The poor kids! We got new books for Reading and the lessons are divided by day in the T.E. which is pretty awesome!

OK, enough rambling! Hope everyone has a great weekend!

  1. What grade/subject are you teaching? I taught mostly 8th grade science until I had kids. My first year of teaching, I was in a portable teaching 6th graders. Portables are definitely a booger to deal with!

  2. I teach 2nd grade Language and Reading. This is my first year in a portable, so I know it is going to take a lot to get used to!
