Horray for MOM! She's an NBCT!!

What is that????? She's now a National Board Certified Teacher!! Mom got the results back from her National Boards and passed!!!!!! WHEW what a relief! I know she was a little stressed out about it but last MARCH, she mailed in 3 portfolio entries about teaching (that's 3 huge papers and a video of herself in her classroom) and then she took a 3 hour timed test in June at a testing site in Nashville! Needless to say, LOTS of time and work. Well, after waiting for MONTHS, she got the results on Friday and they were great! What does all this mean - well, she got a rank I meaning she gets a nice pay raise and is at the highest degree attainable in her teaching profession (well, just short of a doctorate!). She is also nationally certified to teach which means she could teach anywhere in the nation. Great job mom - WOOOO HOOOOO! Glad the LONG wait is over! And special thanks to Aunt Lisa for helping edit and proofread all those papers!

She "celebrated" last night by going out to dinner with 5 of her girlfriends to eat at Puerto's and then go see NEW MOON! She said she did like the movie!! Of course, I knew she would - I think she really does like Edward. :-) He is so devoted to Bella and we all enjoy a great romance!
