Meet The Teacher--- Linky Party!!



This morning when I got on the computer to do my usual "blog stalking" I found that Cara Carroll is having a link party!
I decided I wanted to be apart of the greatness!! So here goes.....
My name is Elisabeth. I am 25 years old and from Tennessee! I would like to say I'm a southern belle! :) I've definitely got a southern Tennessee twang accent! haha You might even say it was thick like molasses! This is my third year of teaching and I have taught first grade all three years. I couldn't imagine myself teaching any other grade. These first grade kiddos are right up my alley!!
I have a wonderful boyfriend named Eric and we have a baby dog son named Dexter. See my little family below! Aren't my boys cute??? I like to tell people that Dexter is just like his mama! Curly locks, spunky, and loves to love! :) 





Dexter was "Super Dog" for Halloween. Superman has got nothing on Dexter dog!!
 Below is us Summer 2010 in Puerto Vallarta. We love to travel! :)

I am currently working on my masters in Instructional Leadership. Boy oh boy.. has it been time consuming! I sure will be proud to get my pay raise!

Now for the Q & A

Q: What would you be doing if you weren’t a teacher?                                             
A:  Well..... I think I might be scrappin' and when I say that I don't mean scrap booking! I mean scrappin'!! My best gal pal owns a recycling business. I worked there before I got my job as a first grade teacher. I loved it!! It was so exciting. And it was no telling what I would see from day to day.  I really love making things pretty... even though I don't have a creative bone in my body. I think in a different life I would be an interior designer or some sort of a coordinator.

Q: What are your hobbies?                                                                                    
A:  Gosh...... I don't know. I feel like as much time as I spend on the computer looking for ideas to use in my classroom that teaching is somewhat of a hobby. I love to travel, taking pictures, shopping for a good deal, and does watching soap operas count???                                                                 

Q: When you were little, what did you want to be when you grew up?                     
A:  I think always said a doctor or a teacher... I don't quite have what it takes to be a doctor... oh and I always said actress when I was little playing MASH. Did anyone else ever play this in elementary school?
   
Q: What are your guilty pleasures?                                                          
 A: The Young and the Restless, Jersey Shore, The Real Housewives of New Jersey, Atlanta, and Beverly Hills (LOVE that drama!) CHEESE (if you cut me open I swear I think I would bleed cheese!) blogs, sweet tea, anything sweet (cake, cookies, you name it!)

Q: What is your biggest fear?!                                                               
 A: Drowning because I can't swim :(.... snakes, mice

Q: When you’re on vacation, where do you like to go?                           
 A: Anywhere tropical!! I love a good tan, warm weather, and flip flops!!!
                                                         
Q: What’s the best advice you’ve ever received?                                                   
A:  Be happy and don't worry!

Q: What do you value most in others?                                                                   
A:  Kindness

Q: If you could choose one of your personality traits to pass down to your kids, what would it be?                                                                                                        
A: Definitely my sense of humor! I keep something going at my house constantly. I think I'm funny even if anyone else doesn't! haha   

Q: If you could have lunch with anyone in the world….living or dead…who would it be?                                                                                                       
A:  wow... gosh I don't know. Will Ferrell maybe? haha I think he is hilarious! I LOVE Stepbrothers and Talledega Nights. Both are classics!

Now tell us one random thing about yourself:
I am addicted to soaps... soap operas!!!! You name it I watch it! It is even so bad that I often google "spoilers!" weird, right?? like I should totally go out and get myself a life! who googles spoilers for soap operas!??? This ole girl right here?? Eric asks all the time why do you watch this garbage. Why? Well as a young child my baby sitter always watched them and I think that's what got me addicted. But the real reason is they are ALWAYS new!!!! Every day... a new one... well except on holidays and weekends. I even have the soap net! True story.....    But thankfully this new blog addiction has kicked somewhat of my soap habit. I still watch them... but google spoilers alot less.


If you want to join in on this fun go on over RIGHT NOW to Cara's wonderful site!!

Have you ever been to Disney's Soap Opera Weekend? Giiiiiiiiirl, you would LOVE it! They have all the big stars doing meet and greets and special events all weekend. You should look into going down for that! :)
