I’ll tell you a secret. I’m an art teacher. *grin* that’s not the secret! The secret is that I can’t draw very well! I made my way through college (and a BFA program) without having to draw too much by claiming a style that didn’t require too much precision. =) These are my drawings from student teaching today. They are items from Mr. Tyler-Babkirk’s desk.
I appreciate that in 2006 we retain the distinction between Miss, Mrs. and Ms. I like that I’m a MIss. I like that can state my marriage situation by adding a few letters to the front of my name. I love that I am still called after my Father’s name. It drives me nuts when students call me, “Mrs. Hawker”. I can handle, “Miss… Um….what’s your name?”, and “Miss Haewl…”, but calling me the name that my Mother earned when she married my Dad is just not right. It always makes the students laugh when I point out that I am, in fact, not married to my Dad.
While I dearly love being a Miss, and pride myself on graduating from BYU-Idaho with only an AA dregree, and not an MRS degree… it’s time. I think. Do you think it’s time?
There’s something romatic about taking the name of the man that you love. I am old-fashioned. I’m eager to start stitching my Monograms. Who’s initial shall I add?
I’ve always liked B…and tomorrow, I’ll prove it. =)
love all y’all. Really.

*heart*
elle!
