Happy Cinco de Mayo!

This has nothing to do with Cinco de Mayo...but I hope you're having a good one!

We've been so busy lately. I think we need an extra weekend to rest up from the past couple of weekends! It may be tiring, but we have been having a great time. Our friend Joseph is home from his army training in Oklahoma, so we've been hanging out with the big group of friends lately. We went out when he first got home (2 weekends ago)...here are a cute pic of us!

Then, this weekend, we did Relay for Life with my mom's school on Friday, The Braves game on Saturday, and the Cotton Pickin' Fair on Sunday. Here are more pics...

I can't believe it's getting so close to the end of school. We're doing End-of-Course Testing this week, so I'm all stressed out. I think I take it way more seriously than the kids! Other than that, not too much is going on here. We're about to head out for some Mexican in honor of the holiday...speaking of holidays...it's teacher appreciation week. So, to all of you teachers reading this, I hope you have a wonderful week, and from one teacher to another, I truly appreciate all you do!

Back to work...

Well, the end has come...the end of spring break that is :( We're sitting here watching The Unit soaking in the last few minutes of a wonderful week. That list of things I talked about wanting to accomplish this week...well, I didn't get to any of them. It was wonderful! I look forward to 5 weeks from now when I can sleep in again!!!

Spring Break Picnic...

Tim's boss gave him a couple of days off so we could spend some time together over my spring break. Yesterday we got some things done around the house (like laundry and dishes) and went grocery shopping. We even had my parents over for dinner. Today was the day to chill! We slept late, watched a little tv, and then we had a picnic! It was so nice. The weather was perfect and the sun came out right after we got there. We saw ducks, geese, and a man in a boat! We're so lucky to have the lake so close to our house. Here are some pics from the day...

Spring Break!!!!!

Finally...spring break is here! I have so much I want to get done, but the best part is, I don't have to do any of it! I've already cleaned up the bedroom, and I'm going to do a little grading tomorrow, so I can totally relax all week. You should expect to see some pics of new scrapbook pages by the end of the week!
Tim's at a car show, so I slept in this morning. It's so weird waking up without him there next to me. It's one of those perks of marriage that you don't miss until he wakes up early!
Enjoy your weekend!

One of those days...

I've had one of those days...one of those, everything was great and then one bad class hit-kind of days. I LOVE being a teacher. I know it's where God has put me at this point in time, but teenage girls can be mean! They stress me out. I guess it's a good thing spring break is less than 24 hours away.

This year has gone so quickly. So much has changed...I moved out of Thomaston (which I miss terribly) got married (the best thing ever!), and started a new job. This job has brought me friends, long days, and a sense of belonging. It's crazy to think that in 6 weeks the year will be over. I'm so excited about next year though. I already have ideas in mind and a list of posters I want to buy! I get to teach AP Calc next year, which to most people seems insane, but to me it's a dream job. The only problem is I haven't had calculus in 6 years. I have a book and plan to start studying over the break and more in the summer.

Anyways...enough about high school...

Sunday was Easter. We spent Saturday at Tim's parents house with his sisters and their families. I love having nieces and nephews! They're way to precious. I have high hopes about how cute our kids will be after seeing them :) Tim and I made Easter baskets for each other. I love doing things like that. I think he's learning how much I love it, and he's giving in to the cute-sie little things like that!

Other than that, things are calm. I'm exhausted, Tim's at softball practice, and we call this a Thursday! I love how blogging can take the bad day feeling away. It also helps to stalk others on their blogs...man I love the internet!

Nothin' new...

I guess a month and a half is about long enough to keep you in suspense of the activities of our lives, so I guess I should write a little something! We really haven't been up to anything big...just work and sleep and eating and church and more sleeping ( I heart naps :)). I did get a hair cut and Tim now has a little hair on his chin, so I guess there is a little change!

We went to a couple of Butch Walker concerts last week...Atlanta on Wednesday and Athens on Saturday. Here are a few pics from the show at the 40 Watt in Athens.

We getting all cute tonight...I'm taking Tim on a hot date. We're going to see the Fast and the Furious 4. I haven't seen 1-3, but I'm pretty sure I'll be able to catch on. It's a good thing I love him or I just don't think I could sit through it!-Jenn

Cathcing up...

I guess it's time to play catch up!

Q5-How do you feel today?

Honestly...not that well. I woke up a little sick this morning. I didn't even go to church! Other than that, I feel great! I was on winter break this week, and I got sooooo much done! Our house is finally starting to feel like home. Here's the living room with our fabulous new rug...

This means the scrapbook room is just about ready for use as well. Tim doesn't like for me to call it the scrapbook room...he prefers the red room since one wall is red. He says that a scrapbook room is too girly! Anyways...with the new clean, organized house, we had people over yesterday. Ben and Jeni (one of Tim's good friends and his wife) came over and we cooked. I made burgers that has potatoes, carrots, and onions in them, which means Tim actually ate veggies! For those of you who don't know him, Tim does NOT eat fruits or vegetables, so this was a big victory! Nicole, you would be proud of my cooking! After that, we played the Things game which is amazing amounts of fun! Then, on to Rock Band and the Wii. When they left, some of our other friends came over and we played the same games, but the Things game took an interesting turn...and by interesting I mean gross! So, I guess that sums up how I'm feeling today!

On to Q6...If I could do it all again, would I change anything?

I always say that the one thing I would change would be taking AP English in high school. I went into a regular class since no gifted class was offered, and I think a lot of things would have been different if I had gone into AP. I would have to change my answer now to day NO...I would NOT CHANGE A THING! I love where my life has brought me...to my amazing husband, a job I like (most of the time), and friends that are wonderful.

I know that doesn't completely catch me up...but it's better than no blogging at all! Here are a couple of other things I would like to mention...

-Tim and I have been married for 3 months today! Happy quarter year anniversary!

-A family at our church suffered a tragedy last week. Their 13 month old daughter died. Please remember them in your prayers.

-Back to work tomorrow...have a wonderful week!
