YEAH BABY

know its been a while but i have been super busy. I have been studying like crazy for the special education test that you need to take to be certified as a special ed teacher. Here in Texas you can at the moment take the test without majoring in say special ed. I took the test this last Wednesday and guess what I passed. I have been working in the special ed field for the last say 8 years. I have had tons of experience and decided that i wanted to get certified in it. It is really my passion and I love working children with and adults with disabilities. So yeah hopefully i can continue working in the sped field. I love it. so I owe you people pictures. I have some of my nephew and some of spring. I didn't take any of the bluebonnets. yeah i know i should have but the ones i did take came out all blurry. so i have lots of flower pictures. oh and a few of these Caterpillar that was hanging out on my front walk way that really big. oh and something i have noticed here that is a little weird is that caterpillars hang from trees. i know that sounds weird but i have found some hanging from web like string from trees. They must be trying to get to the ground or something but they just hang there are cute i guess they have their own silk like spiders. idk i know its weird but very cool too. oh and I went to this awesome Casting Crowns concert Friday night. I went with some friends from work and it was great. so here are some cool pictures i have taken and some Texas translations.
