4 New x 2 To You...

So I went blogging and found, somewhere, not sure where a woman who created a different sort of Meme and thought it sounded like fun! Ah, paybacks...
Here are the rules:

My new meme is called "4 New x 2". You have to share four things that were new to you in the past four years. I mean four things you learned or experienced or explored for the first time in the past four years. New house, new school, new hobby, new spouse, new baby, whatever. Then you have to say four things you want to try new in the next four years.

Four things in the past:
1. New House
2. New dog
3. Teaching first grade (and loving just about every minute)
4. New mini-van

Four things I want to do in the future:
1. Writing more poetry.
2. Independent Reader's Workshop
3. Start and perhaps finish my masters program (I cannot believe that I am voicing that out loud).
4. Be a certain size that I have been working at and seems attainable. (Mostly I just want to be heart healthy for my girls, the weight loss is just a benefit.)

There you have it, now I have to tag 4 blogging buddies.
