Teacher Extraordinaire

Sometimes, I really do feel like this picture but everyday is an adventure.

I like being challenged in every way possible everyday.

I wake at 5:30AM, get dressed, get to work to prep, put on a one woman show for 7 hours, then I grade and head out. I get stuck in traffic for about 45 minutes but when I get home I have a nice meal, rest, and sleep. Ready to do it all again the next day.

Average Starting Teacher Salary: $38,000 a year

Leonardo NamLike Oprah, every woman needs her

own Stedman

A love story Shakespeare would envyWe just happened to be in the same noodle shop together. He was waiting in line behind me.

I was having a hard time deciding between the Pho or the Bee Bim Bop and he recommended the Japanese Udon.

I took a chance. We ate lunch together and have shared every meal together since.

Wedded BlissThe Duke and Duchess of Cambridge stole ideas from us.

The Wedding Deets…Guests: David and Victoria Beckham, Oprah, the entire Glee cast, The Jolie-Pitt family, the Obama family, the entire royal family, the Kardashians, and our own dear friends and family

Everything was organic including the decorations, flowers, and food. It was a green wedding held in a barn on Martha’s Vineyard.

Everyone brought IPod playlists for the dance reception.

Things aren’t always perfect but communication and understanding are key.

You also need to realize that some things are not worth fighting over.

Having a partner for life is much more important than winning an argument.

The Next Gerber Babies

FRANKLIN & FRANCIS

WTF?!First of all, I didn’t even know I was pregnant with twins until the doctor told me to push again because there was something else up there.

Franklin was born on December 31, 2010 at 11:11 PM and Francis was born 10 minutes later at 11:21 PM.

Franklin is curious, reserved, and observant. While Francis is giggly, sneaky, and loud like her mother.

The twins are a handful and are extremely expensive since you need two of everything. But I have built a lot of upper arm strength.

Movin’ on up to the deluxe apartment in the sky…

Our family lives in a three bedroom penthouse at 545 N. Dearborn in downtown Chicago

We paid $717,000 for our penthouse but it was worth it. Leonardo made $1,000,000 for his latest film. We can’t really talk about it but it is receiving Oscar buzz

We chose this place because it was spacious, urban, and centralized. We wanted to be able to walk everywhere.

ReflectionWhat can I say? Life is oh so good.

Got a great job, posh apartment, gorgeous babies, and a hot husband.

My budget allowed me to live comfortably and go out every once in a while.

I did overspend with my car and home, which put me in debt. But I know better next time.
