So...

I am so ready for this weekend and tomorrow!! Tomorrow is my last day of school and I am so freaking excited because I have made it through my first year of teaching. I have enjoyed it and will miss my class this year. Even when they drive me insane, I still love them!!

Tomorrow also, My sister-in-law is having her little boy!! We are so excited and ready for him to be here. Chad and I are leaving when school gets out and heading to Oak Ridge to meet him!!! I am really excited!! I will post pictures of him soon!!

Then Sunday, my parents are taking me to the beach! We are going on a family trip even though Chad cant go... I will miss him!! :( But I am really excited for a few days away!!!

Books..

I am needing to update my 5th grade classroom library!! I need ideas where I can get books that are in GOOD shape and cheaply!! I really need some updating to my books and I hate to order them with my money but am going to have to do so!!! I am looking at an order form for Scholastic but am really trying to be good!!!

I read a book this week. The Other Boleyn Girl.... Very good. I think its over 600 pages long and I read it from Saturday night and finish it on Sunday afternoon. I needed the rest, having mono has kicked my rear. Anyways, please let me know where I can find some!! Thanks!!

I have been thinking...

Here lately I have been sick! I have actually had mono and did not know it. I am now on the up ward hill. I knew something was wrong when I had a four day weekend and all I wanted to do was sleep. Not like me at all. I had my blood work done three times before they found something wrong with me! The doctor said that I had it before but I think that is something that I would remember! But I don't! So today, mono has kicked my rear! I came home after church and the visitation that we had to go to, I got in bed and slept for two hours! Now I am watching the Superbowl in the chair with Chad.

Also, about a year ago I was diagnosed with factor v. Its a blood clot disorder. I cannot take birth control because it puts me at risk for having blood clots and a stroke. I have been doing a lot of research about it lately because I want to have children in the near future. All my research says that as long as you know about it before you get pregnant which I do, everything can be okay!

Today at church we had a sermon on husbands loving their wives and wives submitting to their husbands. This is hard for me! I really do struggle with submitting and allowing Chad to be the head of our household. I am very strong willed and independent! I love my husband. This is something that I am working on!!

An update..

I have totally slacked on adding some pictures. I know this and am extremely sorry! I am going to do better!! So here goes!!

Vandy Before her haircut....

After her Haircut....

This is Sadie. She is my new cousin! I am so in love!!

This is from our trip to Oak Ridge to visit Chad's Sister back in June! I have pictures that old on this CD!!

Counting Down til Christmas Break...

Don't get me wrong... I love my class, I love teaching, I love my fifth graders and honestly I will worry about them the entire break. But I am really ready for a few days of being at home with my husband and dog. Then again, I am not looking forward to the running around and the sadness that comes with the Holidays. I lost my grandparents this year and have been extremely sad by this. I am looking forward to being with Family and Friends but not having to celebrate without those very important people to me! Please keep me and your family in your prayers! Well Anyways I need to finish my christmas decorating! I promise to post pitcures soon!!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Happy Thanksgiving! I am so thankful for my many blessings that I have in my life! My husband is my rock. He brings be back to earth and calms and comforts me! I am so blessed to have him in my life. I also am so blessed to have my mom and dad. They have supported me and my husband through so much and I am just happy to have them. Also I have some of the best friends a girl could ask for! I am so lucky to get to do a job that I truly enjoy! I have a wonderful class of students who amazing me daily!

I know that it has been a while! I have already decorated my tree and my house!! I just could not wait! I am almost done Christmas shopping too!! I love to shop!! I can't control myself!! Whether buying for myself or others! I just love to shop!!

I will post some updated pictures of my house and Vandy soon!! Take care and be safe!!
