Meet the Teacher

Cara from the First Grade Parade is doing a teacher linky, so I'm joining in on the fun. By the way, if you have not made a blog stop at the First Grade Parade, I highly recommend it, she is awesome!

I typically go by Suz {that is not, I repeat not Sue} instead of Suzanne...I have been married to John for almost 9 years {we have been together for 15 years}. We have two awesome kiddos...Emma Grace {5 1/2} and Jack Sloan {2 1/2}...and they keep us super busy, so we are offically a family of four {no more additions, unless Emma does get that puppy for her 6th birthday.} I love my family and friends. I love the thought of building a new house near my sisters. Those who know me best, know that I enjoy making others laugh.  I have been teaching for seven years...all in first grade, and there is no chance I'm giving up my firsties to go to a different grade any time soon.

{ Q & A }

Q: What would you be doing if you weren’t a teacher?
A: I am embarrassed that I'm not stating that I would be a "stay-at-home-mom", but I would love to be an event planner {you know the bossy girl with super stylin clothes...I can so be bossy at times} I love to plan big events...and accessories, don't get me started.

Q: What are your hobbies?
A: Please don't think I'm crazy, but I LOVE working in my classroom {it's my "me" time} I really enjoy shopping, reading, blog stalking {I mean reading}, entertaining, spending time with my family {we really are a hoot!}

Q: When you were little, what did you want to be when you grew up?
A: So easy...a TEACHER of course {I knew in second grade and I ALWAYS had to be the teacher when my friends and I would play school...there I was being bossy again!}

A: Mt. Dew, Twix, Real Housewives {you name the city and I watch them all}, People magazine, H & M, Jersey Shore, expensive shampoos and conditioners, and my Uggs

Q: What is your biggest fear?!
A: That my son will never be potty trained {just kidding, he's 2 1/2, but seriously I am so over Pull-ups!} On a serious note...losing my family {I love them to the moon and back and then some.} I also fear spiders...my palms start to sweat when I see a spider.

A: The beach! Love my sand, sun, and the sound of the waves!

Now tell us one random thing about yourself:

I high-fived Josh Groban at a concert in Pittsburgh, I can recite the lines of Pretty Woman as if I was Julia Roberts, and I am a happy girl when I can sneak a nap...so that's three random things.
