Okay, guys, I'm sorry. I've done... pretty much nothing since the last day of class on December 14th. Between relaxing with family and getting home to relax with LittleFierceOne, well - I've just been enjoying life too much to feel like wasting away on the 'tubes. 
This is a good thing, and makes me happy. Things are going well, and I'm loving life.
Class starts, tomorrow. This is the semester of student teaching, when I will be in school Mon-Fri from 8-4 (at least). I'm stoked, and bracing myself for the shock of actually having to go to bed at a decent hour, get up at an indecent hour, and leave the house on a daily basis. It will take some getting used to, but I'm going to love it.
I also have to take the PRAXIS II on Saturday. This is the test teachers have to pass to get their certification. There are two tests, one at 7:30 for two hours that is multiple choice, and one at 10:45 for two hours that is four essays. Both tests deal with curriculum, theories, content area stuff, instruction methods, etc. I'm a little worried, only because I've never been tested on these things like this. I know I can do the things I'm supposed to do, but can I answer vague, standardized questions about them? I'm kind of studying with some friends who are also taking the test that day, so I'm sure I'll be fine. I'm just kinda nervous, is all.
Saturday is also LittleFierceOne's and my anniversary. It'll be two years, and things are better than ever. EVER. I'm loving life, and can't imagine it without him... he is my stability, my joy, my confidant, my comfort, my refuge, my partner, my friend, and my lover. I am fortunate to have found somebody to share my life with who understands me in ways I can't express, and who supports me and allows me to grow as an individual. The time we have been together has been tumultuous, but has allowed us both to make discoveries about ourselves and each other that have brought us closer together than I could ever have imagined.
To Alan, my love, I want to say: thank you for being you, for letting me be me, and for letting me climb the mountain with you. You are everything I have ever needed in my life, and more than I could ask for.
To everyone else: I hope you are able to experience a fraction of the happiness and fullness I have in my life, right now. I can't even describe how wondrous it feels.
Happy 2008, and I will be sure to post pictures, soon. As a teaser, here is a picture of the Best Dog in the Whole Wide World:
He is awesome. None other like him. Can't wait to get him back.
*kisses*

That sucks that you have to take a test on your anniversary, though I'm sure that will be made up for later.
