Life in My Shoes

My life the past couple months has been crazy! Here are the shoes I have been filling that have made it that way. 

(Sorry if this bores you..Journaling, Remember!)

Wife Shoes- Brennen has probably taken the biggest hit of my crazy life. I have to admit that I haven't been the best wife the past couple months. I am usually running around the house like a headless chicken, making a mess as a go, so Brennen has taken on the responsibilities of cleaning, cooking, etc. He is so glad I am done with Student Teaching! So my wife shoes are coming back on and I'll be running!

Teacher/Student Shoes- Student teaching has been what has really made my life crazy. It was such a good experience and I really did enjoy it. It did take lots of time to be there from 8:15-3:30 everyday, and then do lesson plans, FCCLA, etc on top of the daily teaching. My favorite part was the relationships I formed with the students. There are some who were just so much fun, that I think of them more as friends now than students. It was fun to be just a little older than them so we were still on the same level with some things..and then again on completely different levels on others! I love too that they can call me Cassie now, and not Mrs. Ames!!

Madison Envy Shoes- Starting and running Madison Envy has been a lot of work, but so rewarding. I have loved this opportunity and can't wait for more free time to be able to concentrate more on it. I have done a few craft fairs/boutiques with Shantay this fall and they have been a great way to get my name out. 

APX Shoes- I have still been working at APX Alarm as a secretary. I am so thankful for such a flexible job that has allowed me to cut back on time during student teaching. I love my job there, and am excited to go back to being full time.

Family Shoes- Being a daughter, sister, granddaughter, and aunt sometimes takes time, although time well spent! I write my sister who is on a church mission every week, try and talk to my other siblings every week, and usually talk to either my mom or dad every day. But I would spend all day in my family shoes if possible!

Church Shoes- There are always church responsibilities- Visiting Teaching, Service, Callings, etc.

Miss Rexburg Shoes- The last 3 years I have been on the Miss Rexburg Committee, and will be doing it again this year. I am the Business Manager and in charge of advertising, along with whatever else needs to be done. I really do love helping with pageants, they are one thing that I will always donate my time to.
