House Update

Okay, just for those of you who are wondering how it's going... The house is about half painted! Yay! And you know me, every room is a different color. I've ordered the french doors that will go from the living room into my bedroom. Jacob and Dad get big points for ripping out a couple of awkward closets. Next projects are the two bedrooms, then I'll move onto the biggest one - the kitchen. I hate my kitchen, so that one should be a lot of fun. I'm sore from reaching high to paint, and I never knew I'd have so much fun ripping wallpaper border off the walls. It's a lot of work, but I'm loving it!

Isn't It Funny?

Isn't it funny how your life can become completely derailed? I've been thinking tonight about how my life has completely changed paths several times. It seems like everytime I seem to think I know where I'm headed, I get lost and walk through the wrong door. Maybe not the "wrong" door, but a door that leads to a room I certainly didn't expect to be in. And so I settle in the new room, get comfy in that room, get up for a drink of water and go through another door. I don't know if that happens to everyone, or if it's just me. I don't know if that will ever stop, or if it's just life. I do know some rooms I've been in were really cozy. I also know I'm ready to truly settle in a room for awhile. It feels like whatever path I'm on has a few loose pavers!

Prayers, Please!

Hey everyone. One of the sweetest and craziest ladies I know just found out she has cancer. She's going to need a lot of prayer and support right now. If you have a quick second, please use it wisely and ask God for a little blessing on her behalf. I know she appreciates it. And if anyone would like to join my Team Steph team for the Race For The Cure, just let me know! Thanks!

So Much For Holding Out

I give. I joined Facebook. I'm already a little aggrivated, though. I can't figure out how to see pictures on my computer before I download them. Ugh! Oh well. :P

My New Home

I finally did it. I bought a house here in Lockhart. It's great, and perfect for me. It has two bedrooms, one bath, and only some remodeling to do. I think the best part is that I know I can do this by myself. It really is great, did I say that already? If anyone wants to paint, let me know! ;) As soon as I get all moved in I'll post some pictures.

Whoo-hooligans!

Wow, what a day! After yet another l-o-o-o-n-g inservice meeting, followed by a quick lunch at my desk and a short couple of hours scrambling to get things finished, the year has finally begun! Carver had it's Meet the Teacher "night" this afternoon. I LOVE this day! It's so much fun seeing my students come back. Their little faces are always excited, and it's fun for us and the parents to watch them run and explore. This year I have some repeating students, some new students, and some that have moved on and into general ed. That is always especially exciting. They always come visit us, after they've visited their new classroom. I love to hear them talk about how now they're big kids! We also have a motor lab this year, that is conjoined with my room. We will have way to much fun in there! I like Meet the Teacher night so much that I joined Maddy, Beck, and Eric for theirs at Blanco Vista as well. Beck and Eric are in the same class, and our old friend Jude is across the hall. I wish all 4 of them the best year ever!

OMG!

My mom is on Facebook. No worries, I'm still holding out. She is on it all the time. It's crazy. She has become like all my crazy friends, and has a one track, facebook mind. :P
