Meet The Teacher {LINKY}

Hi everybody!  I'm a 25 year old fiance and mother to kitty cat Penelope Ann!  I will be teaching 1st grade for the second year but I have a long history teaching pre-school!  I love, love, LOVE my firsties though...what a great age!

This is my fiance and I during our engagement photo shoot this past summer!  I can't wait to marry this incredible man on October 3, 2015 near our hometown in New York. It's going to be the most incredible day and I can't wait.  

This is Leo, my shih tzu.  Right now, he still lives at home in New York with mom and dad but he will be coming down to Maryland with us shortly...as soon as we find a house (the never ending nightmare!).  But seriously...how cute is he? 

 This is Penelope Ann, aka Pen Pen.  She is more like a dog than a cat...and she loves her Temptations treats!  I am so lucky to have two loving animals in my life.  I wouldn't trade them for anything!

These Are a Few of my Favorite Things...
Labeling.  Tea.  Books.  Downton Abbey.  English History.  TpT.  Cute things.  

If you weren't a teacher, what would you want to be?
I would definitely still be in the education field, but I always thought about being an educational lawyer; someone who could understand educational law and how it pertains to students with special needs.
Three Little Words that Describe You
Passionate.  Creative.  Caring.

~C.S. Lewis

Q: If you had to sing one song on American Idol, what would it be?

Q: Are you a morning person or a night owl?
Definitely a morning person.  I'm pooped by the evening!

Q: What's your favorite resource that you've created in your TpT shop?
My Smile Coupons for Behavior Management!

Q: Share something we might not know about you!
I am a closet-expert on the reign of King Henry VIII.  I've read almost every piece of literature and watched every documentary I can find on this infamous English king.  I am constantly fascinated by that time and can't get enough information about it!
Thanks to Falling into First for this! :)
