Summer time...

IT'S OVER...school that is. Of course I'm teaching summer school, so I still can't completely relax. At least it's only half-day...totally do-able! I've been catching up on my blogs this morning, trying to that is! Congrats to Kelly and Casey as well as Chris and Lindsey who are both having little girls! And to all of my teacher friends...hope you're enjoying your summer.

Here's what's been going on with us...

We went up to Helen for a VW show. I admit it was fun!

The end of school was of course as exciting event...I had so much fun with Lauren and Jessie over the week of post planning. I'm going to miss Jessie sooooooooo much next year! She's getting married and leaving us.

We went to another car show...this one was local and it was an air-cooled show. Lots of old cars! This one was Tim's favorite!

Also, we went to a Braves game with Patrick and Jennifer...super fun, and amazing seats! We were actually sitting with the players' families!

Also since the last post, we celebrated our 6 month anniversary! We went out to dinner and took pics of us with Sassafras!

Have a great day!!!

10 days...

Yay! The end is in sight...summer is so close I can taste it! It seems that life is so busy this time of year. Tim and I have something on the calendar almost every night of the week, and the weekends are the same. After those 10 days, which I'm sure will fly by, are past, I look forward to sleeping in. I must admit, sleeping in is one of my favorite things...ever! I wish I had one of those jobs where I could work either super early so I could take a nap every day, or where I could go to work late so I could sleep in every morning. I guess if I slept in every day, it really wouldn't be sleeping, would it??! Anyways...school is how it is, so I will continue early morning tutoring at 7:15 and I will work until the grading is done! In other news...I was nominated for teacher of the year. It is such a huge honor, especially since it's my first year at the high school. I'm sooooo excited!!!!! I know that I will not be elected because it is my first year, and there are a couple of other amazing teachers nominated, but I was just excited to see my name on the ballot!
Other than the end of the school year, we're staying busy with Tim's softball games (he had an incredible hit tonight), family events , and all other kinds of crazy things that come up! This weekend we're going up to Helen for a VW car show type thing. I plan on having a couple of scrapbooking magazines with me...just in case!
I hope everything in life is treating you well...please leave a comment to say hey and tell us you're still out there!

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!
