Hello and happy new year to you all! I hope you all had a fun and relaxing winter break! I know I did! I am now back in full swing at Bethel fulfilling my first field experience in a 3rd grade classroom in St. Anthony. I was so nervous about 3rd grade, because I have only worked with younger elementary students, so that was what I was hoping for. I know that God always has a plan for me though, and boy, is His plan great! I have a wonderful classroom of students and the best cooperative teacher! Today was only my second day and she let me plan a lesson that she would teach later in the day. I was so nervous about doing well that I'm pretty sure I redid it about five times before I considered it done! Ms. Cooper has already instilled so much confidence in my ability and I am so grateful for this experience.
Earlier in December I had the opportunity to travel down to Fort Benning, GA to see my best friend graduate from Basic Training and AIT. It was well worth the week of make up work the week before finals! I am so extremely proud of the man he has grown to be and he is continually blessing me each and every day. Most of you know that I am the BIGGEST sap in the world, but for all of you to know, I didn't cry! So hard to believe, I know. I'm pretty sure I wasn't totally convinced it was real life though! Brittney told me a few times "This is real life, Kate." 
Brit and I also had a wonderful experience on our last day in Georgia! After breakfast on our last day, we headed back up to our room to pack and leave for graduation only to find that our door was broken! The poor manager couldn't even get it open. The grounds worker had to come and break in for us. Luckily, we were toughing it out in the "cold" weather. It was 45 degrees. We were loving it.
This past weekend Team Waseca went gown shopping! I was successful in finding a ramp gown and Alyssa found a beautiful evening gown for MMOT! I'll admit I am a little sad that dress shopping is over for me…I love shopping and pretty gowns.
After shopping, we attended the Miss Minneapolis/St. Paul pageant! I would like to congratulate Rachel and Julia on being crowned Miss St. Paul and Miss Minneapolis! You are both stunning and I cannot wait to get to know you!
Lately, I have been reading so many inspiration posts on Facebook from the Miss MN class of 2014. The stories behind their platforms and the things that have made them who they are today are so inspiring. I am so honored to be among such an outstanding group of young women.
I love you all!
xoxo,
Katie
