I got the list!!!



What list you may ask?!?!?



My first OFFICIAL class list!!!! I know my kids names and birthdays and test scores and all their important parent contact information. And plus a picture of them! :)



They are PRECIOUS!!! I haven't even met them but just by looking at their little picture on the computer I just want to eat them up!! (Not literally.) I was so excited to get my classroom, ID, laptop, and all but today was the most exciting because now I have names of the kids I'm going to spend 180 days enriching their lives!!!!!


I can't wait to meet them next Wednesday at "Meet The Teacher Day"! I cannot wait until they come into my classroom next Thursday for the First Day of School!!!!



As you can see I am beyond EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Please please pray for my students and myself throughout the next year...we have a lot of work to do! We have a lot of goals to reach and improving in areas...but I know with my positive attitude and their hard work....WE CAN DO IT! :)



P.S. I promise I'll post pictures of my classroom...I just want it to be perfect before I share pictures! You guys know how I am! :)

Dear sweet husband,

I do really care about you and your sleeping habits. I do care about your dreams and nightmares but sweetie...I don't want to be woken up in the middle of the night to hear about your nightmares.

Love,
your sleepy wife

The Mr. always likes to wake me up in the middle of the night or EARLY morning to share his dreams and nightmares. I do realize that some of them are very scary but the sharing can take place when the sun has risen. :)


Just my little rant for the day. :)

Whew....we are back home!


The Mr. and I have been gone from home for a while! It's nice to be back in our own bed and with our Lucy girl!


A week and half ago I headed down to Panama City/Carillon Beach for my best friends wedding! It was such a wonderful weekend! L has been my best friend now for 5 years...she is part of the FOUR! Her now husband is like a brother to me...such an awesome guy! The Mr. and I are so happy for the two! We know they will enjoy married life just as we have! :) Since there were SO many pictures from the weekend I'll post a link to view all the pictures...well it's not even all of them...we took about 550 pictures! But only posted about 225!






The morning after the Georgia wedding the Mr. and I headed down to Key Largo to spend a week with the Mr's family! It was a great week filled with lots of boating, diving, eating, playing games, and spending quality time all together! The only thing that wasn't good was that I got the flu and had a fever for about 4 days of our trip. Also the Mr's brother got sick too! Other than that it was such a wonderful week! Once we get our camera back I'll post the pictures!


Tomorrow is the basically my first day of work! I am so excited! I have New Teacher Orientation Monday-Wednesday and then on Thursday Pre Planning starts! I still can't believe that I got a job! I am so blessed! :) The first day of school isn't until August 6th...but I'll keep you updated!


Mr. and I went to church this morning and are still so pleased with the church and the messages! We are so excited about joining a small group at the end of August!


Well I'm off to enjoy my last day of summer with my sweet husband!

Wow...this weekend was fun!


Maybe even a little too much fun!


Friday night was my best friend L's Bachelorette Party that I planned with her little sister! I think the night went great!!! I think she had a lot of fun! And that was the whole point of the night! :) Here is the GREAT party bus we took! Totally surprised her with this!
First stop was to play Whirly Ball...was a little worried about this but it's one of her favorite things to do! Well I was so wrong for even thinking twice...it's SOOO much fun! But dangerous...haha! I have bruises to prove it!

Having fun with my best friends!

All bridesmaids with BRIDE expect one!


Dinner at Shout! SO yummy!


Roof top action at Shout after dinner!

Saturday was filled with fun too! We headed over to L&T's house to celebrate little A's 1st birthday!!! It was SO fun! Great family/friends, food and cake!

A with his very own cake! He wasn't sure what to do at first...but then he enjoyed it! :)

So I'm a little late but o well...I'm a working woman now! :)


The 4th of July weekend was filled with love, family, bonding, good food, talking, loving, and ALOT of fun! :)


Friday night my three sisters B, K, and LK all came in town early to spend time with us. It was a great night filled with LOTS of Monopoly!


Saturday we headed out with Eric's Mom, Dad, Brother and Nana to go kayaking down the Broad River! It was such a great way to spend time together and get some rays!

We got back from kayaking and had a huge BBQ with ribs, BBQ chicken wrapped in bacon and many more YUMMY items!

Then we headed off to a local park for the fireworks! It was such a fun way to spend the 4th of July all together! :)

P.S. Stay tuned for some pictures of my classroom in the making! :)

If you haven't already you need to go see the movie "Up"! I went about 3 weeks ago with some kids I babysit and it's an AWESOME movie!!
So funny but has meat! :) I'm a huge Disney fan but was a little nervous about this one but I have to say it's one of my new favorites!



Happy 25th Birthday to sweet MELINDA!
If you don't' Melinda...your missing out! She is one of the FUNNIEST, sweetest, most trustworthy, and greatest friends ever!!! She is one of my dear sorority sisters and this is how I met her...we both weren't too big of fans of each other...but that's just because we didn't' know each other. After getting to know her a little bit I knew she would be one of my lifetime friends and sisters! :)
Don't worry Melinda...25 isn't old! It's a big girl age and your such a beautiful and smart big girl! :)
I love you Melinda and I hope you have a WONDERFUL 25th birthday!
