Hi everyone! I'm Laura Walls. I love taking pictures, so I couldn't just share one. Below are four of my favorite current photos:

The past two and a half years have been very eventful in my life, especially since I got married in 2016! The picture at the top is my current profile picture on my Facebook account. It's one of my favorite pictures from my wedding. My husband (Nick) and I got married at St. Francis Xavier Church in LaGrange. I am a 6th-grade teacher at the parish's school. Since I have shared this picture before for other courses, I decided to share some other recent pictures that are also on my Facebook. I can't seem to get myself to change my profile picture!

This picture above is from my honeymoon. Nick and I love Disney World and had a great time when we went. I am actually going back soon with some of my close girlfriends for a long weekend. I can't wait!

This
third picture shows Nick and I at a wedding over the summer. Nick was the best
man at his best friend's wedding. I tagged along with the bridal party when
they took pictures at Dominican. I didn't know at the time that I would shortly
be starting classes there!

As for this last picture, it shows Nick and I on the day we purchased our first house. Over the past few months, we have worked hard at making our place feel like home. We love to decorate and went a little crazy with Christmas. We are currently getting some work done with our basement, and most our Christmas stuff is still up. I'll admit that I'm a little nervous about when I'm going to have the time to put it all away! As much as I love it all, I am looking forward to getting my house back to normal and all clean!
Looking through these pictures just now on Facebook has made me reflect on how busy/eventful life has been lately. It's kind of nice to share these moments on Facebook because in a sense, it's like creating a traditional photo album to remember events and people. I love history and pictures, so storing all these in one location preserves my history with my friends and family and also organizes these images.
I am looking forward to this course. While I tend to be a private person, I feel that I have come along way with being more open to sharing with others via social media. I have definitely benefited from social media as teacher by gaining great ideas and resources from others. I am excited to learn more ways to use social media as an educator.

Hi again, Laura! I love the reference to Facebook as a modern day album and am happy to hear you are becoming a bit more open about the possibilities of social media in the classroom. I also love the fact that you got married at the church where you teach! What a fun story to tell. Looking forward to learning with you again.
