• I'm in a list kind of mood. So, if you don't like list you may not want to read.
• I'm really enjoying running, but some days I'm not enjoying fitting it in. Teen Mom and Snapped sometimes are more enjoyable!
• I can't believe I haven't always run with an iPod Shuffle. AMAZING!
• Relationships change. That's life.
• I have baby fever. What? Is that weird...No, it's not! :)
• So, I drink hot tea every morning, I gotta it from my Mama...but now I'm drinking Green Tea instead of Constant Comment...it's better for me, but I do miss my Constant Comment with cream and sugar. Green Tea is plain.
• My dog loves my husband more than me...this is a problem. She should love me more...we got her for me...but now they obsessed with each other! :)
• People who have food allergies one day and the next day they are gone are ANNOYING! Get your story straight...
• 104.7 the Fish plays the same songs alllll the time. I need a new Christian station to listen to.
• Snobby people suck.
• John Mayer would totally be my boyfriend if I wasn't married. It's okay..the Mr. knows my love for him. He even took me to his concert!
• I miss my best friends. Being an adult sometimes isn't fun when you don't see your best friends like you did when you were a "kid".
• I'm working on my personal relationship with Jesus. Pray for me if you would like. :) I have one, but it needs some work.
• One of my students informed me the other morning that her dog could NOW have babies. And then went onto tell me that it was "messy". Kids really do say the darnest things!
• I'm ready for the weather that allows me to wear my Uggs.
• My list is coming to an end. It's over....now.

Field TRIP!!! Whooohoo!!

This past Friday, we took a field trip to a local park. The field trip was related to the "standards" that are to be taught to all students in Georgia...and it was about micoorganisms! Super fun!

The park coordinated a cool hike to find micoorganims in nature! My students loved the hike! And so did I...for multiple reasons! Let out some energy and getting to see them learn in a different enviornment!

The other part of the field trip was to use micoscopes! We don't have them at our school, so this was super cool for the kids!

Here are some pictures I took with my phone:

Needless to say, we were all tired when we got back to school! It was a fun day!

The Mr. and I had a great weekend! With a quick visit from my sis B! I was busy preparing for my best friends baby shower that I'm throwing next weekend! I can't wait to finally share pictures of all of the things I've been working on since JUNE! haha! I'm so exicited!

But I did get this sweet picture of my girls:

Lordy Lordy Lordy....

I haven't updated in foooorrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeevvvvvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Shame on me....well not really...my job, family and friends come before the blog. But I would like to find time for all of the above!

Okay, so I LOVE my class this year! Such fun kids! Last year was a bit rough with behavior and academic challenges. Now, don't get me wrong, I have some academic challenges in my room this year, but I have alot more support this year. I can't believe I'm already in my 5th week of teaching for this year!

The Mr. and I are still loving our church! We are starting Financial Peace University by Dave Ramsey. We feel this is a really important aspect of living out our Christian lives by getting our fiances straight and using a program that is backed with the Bible. We will keep you updated on how the program goes. :)

Training for the 1/2(marathon) is going great! Can't believe that it's less than 2 months away...kind of scary!I did get new kicks to run in, which have made my running life so amazing!

I'm so ready for FALL! This past weekend's weather got me really excited! I'm ready for pumpkins, apple cider, fires in our fireplace, football and so much more!!

I promise a more interesting post soon! With pictures!

1st Day of 2nd Year!

Please look at this wonderful gift I got from one of my students today!! First day present from a sweet boy!!!

(Excuse the workout clothes and nasty hair...but I had to get my Zumba in!) Needless to say the Mr. has alot of cutting today!! We will have this beauty for snack tomorrow!

And, yes it weighs 38 pounds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



So today was amazing!!! I think I have the best class in the whole school!! I only have 8 girls and 17 boys!!! The girls are so sweet and kind and the boys are so funny!
I cannot wait to get to know all 25 of them!! Yes, 25 instead of 30 like last year! It's so wonderful! I walked out of the school today on Cloud 9!!

So this weekend we headed back home to see the Mr.'s Nana...she isn't doing well. She is in the hospital with phenomena and having a lot of problems breathing. Please keep her in your prayers!

So in between going to see Nana in the hospital I was preparing for this week. And look who wanted to help!: She wanted my attention...she was done with me doing stuff for school. I could just eat her up! I miss her so much while I'm at school!!!

I'm so blessed to have the opportunity to start my 2nd year of teaching!! I cannot wait to see the adventures this class takes me on!

2 wonderful years!

I'm so thankful!

I've been married to my best friend for 2 years today!!

Can't believe it's been two years!

The past two years have been amazing! They have been filled with laughter, tears, celebrations, trips, holidays, praying, moving, making friends, loving each other,baking, growing closer to Christ together, inside jokes, watchin' scary shows together, cookin' yummy meals, being doggie parents, finding a wonderful church after a search, and so much more!

It's the most amazing feeling to wake up everyday next to the Mr.! I couldn't ask for a better man to lead our home. I couldn't ask for a better best friend. I couldn't ask for a better future dad. I couldn't ask for God to have put the most perfect man in my life!

Dear Mr,

Thank you for the past two years of married life! You are truly the best thing ever! I love you so much and I cannot wait to grow very old with you! Thank you for putting up with my things that drive you crazy. Thank you for ALWAYS being there for me no matter what. Thank you for being encouraging to me. Thank you for always making me laugh when I want or am mad at you. haha!

I love you Mr.!

Love always and forever,

your wife

New school year eve...

Today is my last day of summer.

Pre-planning starts tomorrow. I'm actually very excited about this upcoming year!!

Can't believe I'm about to start my second year of teaching!!

This week has been filled with many hours in my classroom, running errands and celebrating birthdays.

My summer has been good but short. Summer school was no fun. Confratute was SO fun! The Keys were relaxing. All of the lunches and dinners with friends were fun too!

Starting a new school year is like a New Year's Eve for a teacher! I'm so excited about the new things I'll be doing in my classroom. I'm excited about the new possibilities! I'm excited about the leadership roles I'll be in. I'm excited about new students I'll get to know so well!

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!

I promise all of my post won't be this boring!

A wedding and VACATION!

Keys time!! First day on the boat!

Mr. LOVES to fish in the ocean!

He caught a big one! (Funny story: so we took it back to the house for the Mr. to cook it up! Well he put it on the fish cleaning table and gave the fish a few stabs. Well, when he came back to finish cleaning it up, the fish was GONE!!! It jumped off the table back into the ocean!)

One of our favorite dinner spots int he Keys!

One of our favorite spots, Alligator Lighthouse!

Favorite picture of the trip! BLISS!

We had a relaxing vacation! The seas were really rough because there was an average of 20-25 MPH winds, but it was still sunny and hot! We only got to dive 2 days, but it was still so much fun! We had a wonderful time cooking yummy dinners, late night swims, long boat rides, shopping at our favorite store, fishin', jumpin' off lighthouses and so much more! We can't wait for the next time to get down to our second home!

Now, it's back to the real world! Back to work and back to school!
