I have done it, I got through my PGCE and I am now a Newly Qualified Teacher!!
I am now back home in York which is lovely and it will make sorting wedding stuff out in the next few weeks easier. It was strange to leave Lincoln yesterday. Although I have only been there a year, it was a home for a year and I will have loads of good memories from living there for the last year.
We went to church this morning, to hear our Banns of Marriage being read for the first time. Hearing them being read out in the church made the wedding seem even closer and more real!
One of the songs we sang in church today had the lyrics ‘…What a faithful God have I…’ and listening to the words made me think about how true that really is. This past year has been really mixed, some times when I have really not enjoyed the course and found it really hard and other times when it has been very fun and exciting. Through all the experiences of the past year one thing I know is that God has been faithful and things have worked out when they have needed to.
I’ll be taking the words of that song into the next days and weeks too. There is still a lot we need to get sorted - jobs, a house and various wedding stuff, but I know things will work out just as they are meant to and everything will be alright in the end!
For the next few weeks I’ll be in between here and Lincoln sorting various things out, and then it will be New Wine and I really hope it won’t rain as much as it has done this weekend!
Its only 48 days to go now till the wedding!!!! I can remember when I wrote on here that it was 100 days to go and that has gone sooo quick so i’m sure the next 6 weeks will speed by too!!
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!
Well my big news for the week is that Kieran and I purchased our 1st car yesterday. Below is a photo that Kieran has taken of it.
Its a pretty cool car which does various exciting things! It has automatic headlights and windscreen wipers and a digital dashboard. It also has a cool handbrake which turns itself off when you start moving which is useful, good for hill-starts! I have driven it a couple of times and it is great to drive. It has a funny key thing where you put a card into a slot rather than a key into the car! Another great feature about it is that it has a height adjustable seat which means both me and Kieran can get it in a comfortable position when we drive it!
So there you go, that is our car and our first step to being properly married!!

I am soo bored of lesson planning now! Ah well, only got 6 weeks of placement to get through then I’ll be done. It will be better when I actually have a job and don’t have to do loads of extra work just to keep college happy!
I thought I would do a quick update on everything that has been going on in the last couple of weeks, its been a busy time!!
I can’t believe I have only been engaged for just over a month but so many of the big decisions about the wedding have already been sorted and things are coming together very well!! We owe a lot of this to my mum and dad who have been having lots of ideas and being really great on organising things in York when we cannot be there. Continue reading ‘100 days to go!!!’
