Hello Blog World!

I am a first year music teacher in Montgomery County Public Schools in Maryland.  A Minnesotan Girl, this year has been a year of MAJOR firsts for me!  

1.  I moved to Maryland in June 2012... the first time I have ever lived away from good ol' Minnesota.  
2.  I landed a spectacularly AWESOME job in Montgomery County Public Schools.  I have the pleasure of teaching general music with PreK-2 and two self-contained classes for students with Autism.  
3.  I adopted my very first cat!
4.  I had my first winter with 1 inch rather than 1 foot of snow!  Yay!
5.  I am starting up my first blog!

Okay... well maybe that is not THAT many firsts... but it is a start!

Let's pay close attention to number 5 on my list of firsts... yes friends, this is my very first blog... hopefully I will get the swing of things soon enough!

Stay TUNED!  (haha... music joke)

Here is a picture of my cat Basil (number 3 on my list of firsts).

He turned 1 recently... we had to celebrate!

PS: Check out my "other half's" awesome blog School Counseling Dude.  He rocks!
