Mrs. Nugent

I have decided to go back to school to get a teaching degree. This has been something I have been thinking about for years. I think now is the right time. I am ready for a change. I love my job at KJZZ but I don't want to be doing it for the rest of my life. Once I graduate I will still have at least 25 years to teach before I retire. I am entering the Interdisciplinary Teaching Degree for K-8 at WGU. I would love to teach Kindergarten, but I haven't decided my specialty yet. I have already passed my entrance exams, applied for financial aid and a student loan, and today I have my entrance interview. Then I will meet with my mentor to see how many of my credits they will accept and if I can Clep out of any classes. Then I will have a better idea of how long it will take me to graduate. I would also like to pursue a Masters Degree because you can earn about $30,000 more a year with one. So I definitely have a long road ahead of me. My classes start August 1st!! Soon I will be Mrs. Nugent with a classroom of my own! Wahoo!

Finally!!!

Yeah!! I am so excited! Montana has been taking a jazz class this summer. She came out of class last night and said "Mom, can I please stay for ballet?" Well, of course I said yes. Then she came out of ballet an hour later and said "Mom, can I please stay for tap?" I was skeptical because she has never really had an interest in dance. But I let her stay for that as well. She came home exhausted but loved it. So now she will have 3 hours of dance on Monday nights. I am thrilled! I keep nudging her to take classes but this was all her decision. So we are off to buy dance shoes today!!

Eric on stage in Vegas

Here is Eric singing karaoke to "Mustang Sally". He was coaxed into doing this at his work event in Las Vegas. He loved it and did a great job. And he is looking quite hot I must say!!

Happy 4th of July

"You have to love a nation that celebrates its
independence every July 4, not with a parade
of guns, tanks, and soldiers who file by the
White House in a show of strength and muscle,
but with family picnics where kids throw Frisbees,
the potato salad gets iffy, and the flies die
from happiness. You may think you have overeaten,
but it is patriotism."

Justice gets scalped!

Justice has nice thick hair that needs to be cut every couple of weeks. He has been wanting to shave his hair off for a while. I was giving him a trim yesterday and put the wrong length on the buzzer. Well, we had to cut the whole thing short to match. I think it turned out cute. He is always rubbing his head now. He likes the way it feels. Plus it's nice for summer! Hope it grows out ok!
