New Wine

Good evening from York! I am back home after a really great 10 days away in which lots of things happened.

We had a great week at New Wine - as usual being on the cafe team was lots of fun and it was great to make some new friends. We had great waether most of the time, there was only one day of proper rain. (The day all the youth were out collecting money for charity, but that made it more fun!) The rest of the time it was lovely and warm and sunny, proper summer!

                                  

I think one of the highlights of New Wine was seeing young people so fired up and ready to connect with God, it was really encouraging to see people have so much faith and hope and it taught me a few lessons about my faith. Continue reading ‘New Wine’

1 month to go!!!

Today it is exactly a month until Kieran and I get married!! The last 3 and a bit months since we got engaged has gone sooo quick so i’m sure the last month will go nice and fast too! I’m getting really excited, especially as all the plans are coming together well and I’m not feeling nervous (yet!).

Last night we finished the table seating plans, after quite a few versions and ideas! Doing the table plans was harder then I thought as there were loads of little changes we had to make along the way but they are all done now!

I had an interview for supply teaching in York today so hopefully i’ll be accepted onto the team and then when school starts again I’ll get some work. It all depends on whether Kieran gets a job first and whether that will be in Lincoln or not. We still don’t know where we will end up, but it will all become clear in the end.

Right, bed time for me as tomorrow I have to finish sorting out all the camping stuff for New Wine which starts on Friday and I’m very excited about it!!! The weather has been good this week so lets hope it continues!

Wedding Dress

I went to Leeds today for a fitting of my wedding dress and it is beautiful! The only thing that really needed altering was the length as it is too long at the moment. Other than that, it is lovely and it will be just great when it is all altered! I can’t wait to wear it properly on the big day which really isn’t long away now!!!

We also went to see a balloon lady as we are going to have balloons at the reception so it will look exciting in the room!

Other things for the wedding all seem to be coming together well, I just hope all the little parts of the organisation come together well on the day. I’m sure they will really.

Its New Wine in 4 days now and I’m sooo excited! The weather has been a bit better in the last couple of days so hopefully that will continue through next week when we are actually camping.

No news on the job hunt for me at the moment, something will come up at some point, somewhere but right now I don’t know!!!

I’ve graduated again!

Last night I graduated for the second time! This time it was from Lincoln Cathedral which was a pretty cool place to graduate from!

I now officially have a PGCE, now all I need is a job so I can actually use the qualification. One will come along in the end i’m sure. I have an interview for supply teaching which would be better than nothing I guess. Continue reading ‘I’ve graduated again!’

Nearly There!!!!

I can’t believe how fast time is going at the moment, sooo fast!!! Its already nearly July and we have had half the year!

I passed my final placement this week and have met all the standards and requirements I need to become a qualified teacher! I have 5 more days in school and one final day in college and then I will be finally done with my PGCE, yay!!! All I need now is a job as I still don’t have one but I am sure one will come up eventually somewhere.

I have really enjoyed this placement, teaching Year 6 after their SAT’s is lots of fun and most of the kids in the class are really nice and the challenging ones are good for helping me develop behaviour management strategies.

Time is also going really fast in the countdown to the wedding! I now have a special countdown on here in weeks, days, hours, minutes and seconds. Counting down to the second seems to make time go even quicker and in no time at all it will be the 23rd August and I will be getting married, I can’t wait :)

So, I finish here in Lincoln in a week and then I will be moving back home for the last time for the summer. We will also be going to New WIne which I am soo looking forward to, just as long as it isn’t as wet as last year, although it did make it more memorable! After New Wine it is 3 weeks until the wedding so it will be a busy but a very enjoyable summer and I am looking forward to it!

Right, bed time for me as I have a whole day of DT to teach tomorrow which should be interesting!
