Catching Up....


My goodness...I have really proven myself to be a very unfaithful blogger these past few weeks haven’t I? I guess you could say we have been a little bit busy. I finally finished up my student teaching at Hawley and I was a proud to be a graduate of the class of 2010 from McMurry University.




Ever since then…I have been hitting the pavement running looking for a J.O.B


I have faithfully been going garage saling looking for all the goodies I can possibly find for my classroom. It’s hard to buy things when I don’t know what grade level I will be teaching. I feel like I have contacted EVERY single Elementary principal in Abilene and I have had a really good interview at Jackson Elementary. Although I haven’t been called back yet, I am still holding out hope that I am going to be the person for the job. If any of you have any pointers or could possibly put in a good word for me…that would be VERY appreciated.

Jolea finished up Mothers Day Out for the year and we have been enjoying some time at home together. Although sometimes we tend to butt-head’s, she has really been a sweet girl the last couple of weeks. I have enrolled her in the drop-in-day at her current MDO so she stays in touch with all of her friends and becomes familiar with her new teacher Mrs. Cindy for next year. It’s only on Thursdays from 10 to 2. She seems to really like going to school and the teachers just think she hung the moon. On top of all that…it gives mama a little break during the week!!! Here she was on her first day of school...my-o-my how she has grown.


Andy is ready to finish up school too. His last day is June 3rd…WooHoo and then it’s OFF to another busy and fun filled summer.

We have one of these to go to…


Andy’s brother Brandon will be getting married in Paradise Texas on June 12th

Then in late June we are headed here…


The Guadalupe River…To do a little bit of this…


Tubing and camping…

With these GREAT friends of ours…

And we can’t wait.

In other “Breaking News,” my parents have SOLD this…


And will be moving in RIGHT NEXT DOOR to Andy and me. Is this a good thing or a bad thing? Hmmm…that is the question to ponder. I know that one little bitty person that lives in our house is going to think this is the COOLEST thing ever. Jolea will be beside herself that she can go to Grammy and Poppy’s house anytime she wants too. Mommy and Daddy a.k.a Andy and Terah think this is also a wonderful free babysitting arrangement!!! It will also be very convenient next year if and when I get a job…I won’t have far to go to get Jolea to the sitter’s house!!! I think overall it’s going to be a GREAT arrangement and I couldn’t be happier that they SOLD their house and that we get to have them as neighbors for a little while. They will start building in October and should probably be moved into their new home by February or March depending on how smoothly things go.

Well, that’s about all for now. It’s a holiday weekend…and we don’t have a single plan in the works!!! I could use some sunshine and a cool pool of water somewhere…but I doubt that will happen. I hope everyone is doing well and is ready for another beautiful Texas summer. I promise to do a better job on the blog too.
