Where have I been?

One of my desires is to continue writing on this stupid blog, but I sometimes have a hard time staying the course. So here goes again.

School is almost done for the semester and it can't come soon enough. There is a light at the end of the tunnel (8 years of college and counting) and I am getting excited. Not the exciting like they have your favorite flavor at Culvers. But an exciting that stirs the heart. It seems as though life has been on hold. And whether that is right or not, I think changes are soon to take place. Next school year I will be student teaching at the local high school in town with a teacher that I am super-stoked to be working alongside. After thats completed in January, I will be 8 credits shy of my Masters in Education (MAT) degree form Cardinal Stritch. Student teaching will be the last semester where I will have to work on a limited capacity to go to school. I will finally be able to pursue full time employment!

This summer is shaping up to be excellent. I will be painting in between trips to Montana (my second home) and hopefully Mexico to celebrate Michelle and I's 5 year wedding anniversary. I know, 5 years!

Michelle is doing great. She is in a book club that she really enjoys, and will soon be in a women's bible study for the summer. She enjoys work and is starting to entertain thoughts of motherhood. She will be joining me in Montana, Mexico (she wouldn't miss it for the world), and a possible trip to Vegas with her sister(s) during the summer.

My hope is to share thoughts on my blog once a week during the summer, and then to continue during my student teaching experience. Wish me luck.

peace,
andy & michelle Christo
