Introduction

My name is Lindsey Roberts, and I am a 4th year kindergarten teacher in Owensboro, Kentucky (my hometown). I attended Georgetown College in Georgetown, Kentucky and loved every second of it. After graduating, though, I knew I was ready to head back home to be near family and friends. They mean the absolute world to me! At my school, I grew particularly close to a kindergarten instructional assistant in the room next door to me. Occasionally, she would talk about her son named Reed. I thought he sounded like such a kind person, and it appeared that we had a lot in common. We were later set up by a mutual friend... A year and a half later, we were married. :) And now we are in the process of renovating our home, which is keeping us quite busy. I feel quite blessed!

In regard to teaching, I love kindergarten! I love how their minds are like little sponges--absorbing just about everything. I love how eager they are to learn. I love that they still need you and want to please you. I love that I get to start with the very basics in math and reading--helping to build the foundation they'll need for the rest of their lives. Teaching is definitely a challenge and incredibly exhausting, but it is also rewarding beyond belief. I'm not sure where my career will lead me. I would love to experience other grade levels, but I'm very content in kindergarten for the time being. Above all, I look forward to having kids of my own (even though my students feel like they are). One day... 

Between teaching, taking classes, moving, and renovating my new home, life is busy to say the least--a lot busier than I'd really like it to be. I'm ready for things to slow down a bit. It seems that life goes 100 miles an hour. When I do have the time, I love spending time with my family--bonding with my nephews, going to my cousins' sporting events, shopping, vacationing in Florida. I enjoy reading the Bible and learning more about God's Word. I recently read Water for Elephants and loved it, because it was different than anything I'd ever read. I will be honest, I'm sort of a sucker for romance novels by Nicholas Sparks. :)

That's me in a nutshell. I'm totally new to the blogging world, so I'm not even sure if I'm doing this correctly. We'll see...
