Merry Christmas Eve!


Awesome-2 days in a row of blogging, and it's Christmas Eve!! I hope today is full of joy and family time! Mom is not feeling too well, she has a crick in her neck so I have taken over the kitchen and all the baking/cooking details for the day, which I am quiet excited about. The picture is from our apartment, our very first tree before we packed up all of the gifts to take to Memphis and then Dyersburg. Drew and I love our tree-the ornaments are mostly ones that we have gathered over the past year or so as well as some special ones-including a mini converse and "g" that are serving as "our first christmas" ornaments...off to check the lemon buttermilk pound cake that is in the oven...

...let all you do be done with love.

wow, has it really been this long?

so it has been so long since my last post. my life over the past few months has been unbelievably crazy and in so many different ways, my first year teaching, my first observation, getting married, taking several days off, still fighting sickness and constantly being tired, setting up a new home, the amazing Thanksgiving and Christmas time, turning 23, so many things have hit at once, and then right after thanksgiving break we were hit with another change at school-that because of our lower than desired test scores and horrible transition times we would be going self-contained in january. this means that I would keep my "set of kids" all day and teach them all subjects-not just reading, and language arts...so a HUGE change and apprently this school has known nothing but huge changes in the middle of the year. it will be different but i think there are some positive points to it, just like with everything-there's always going to be a positive side and a negative side-i just choose to look at the positive side and make the best and most out of whatever negative side there may be...as for an update on the wedding and what-not we don't have the official wedding pictures yet but i will post some of the pictures that i have...and i will post later about my new years resolutions-i know that it's still a little while off, but i am going to start early-so that maybe i can stay on track...enjoy the pictures and...

...let all you do be done with love.
