TOPT, Thanksgiving and Black Friday!!

I am very proud to say that I past my TOPT (Texas Oral Proficiency Test) Spanish Exam!! I hadn't want to get my hopes up just in case but when I recieved my scores I was soo soo EXCITED!! I called David and we managed to re-create those whole dropped call commercials. I finally got thru where he could hear me and got to announce my wonderful news!! I just have one more exam to take before I will graduate 100 % Bilingual Certified. I looking forward to graduation because that will be a closing of a chapter that I have been working on for the past 5 years. We have been working on getting the house ready for our new addition but in the mean time David has started working on the "Anderson Grill". He is building us a small outdoor patio area in the backyard to enjoy during the summer and warm days. It'll have an area for food serving and all the stuff he'll need to store his grill. Its coming along pretty well he's made the base area all we need is to get the decking portion started but the weather threatened to be rainy. Our Thanksgiving's were as normal every year. David got up really early and went with his parents to Benbrook to see his niece and spend some time with them. I went to my parents and had lunch with my parents, brother and sister's family. It was nice to have such a quiet meal or that could have been because we were starving and were all eating versus talking. David came home around 5 ish that evening and headed over to my parents around 8ish. We had our full family dinner will all 31 members of my family! Then we all planned our Black Friday itineraries!...I woke up at 3 am and made my way to my parents by 3:30 am...just to have to wake all of them up myself! We hit Circuit City, Office Depot, Old Navy, Kohl's, Wal-mart and then headed home around 10 am! Yes I did almost 6 straight hours of shopping! Later that evening we went to see Twilight!! I am certainly looking forward to a quiet weekend at home with David and Zoe!

Well it's offical!!

Well for those that don't or do know...its OFFICIAL!! I am pregnant. I found out about 2.5 weeks ago. This past Saturday was 10 weeks. We had our first appointment with the doctor for our sonogram on the 3rd and it went GREAT...things are looking good. Its alittle strange sometimes cause I don't understand all the feelings. But my family is being really supportive and took the news with open arms! David's family also took the news really well. Jomi & David will get to have 2 new grandchildren about 6 months apart!! I'll get pictures posted asap. Aside from that WONDERFUL news I am in the home stretch of Student Teaching...finally it's gonna be over and I'll have graduated! I am excited to be planning my graduation party with my niece as her husband is also graduating the day before me...its gonna be loads of fun! Just 3 more weeks and 2 days of student teaching. We had a very quiet weekend. Saturday we bought a new screen door for the house and I love it. We can finally keep the front door open without Zoe trying to make a break for it. Davids dad and uncle helped him put the door up. We also spent sometime at Lowe's picking out some laminate hardwood floors for our new kitchen remodel...which will probably start in December sometime. On Sunday we had a family day. We went to breakfast at my parents and just hung out. David eventually went home and hung out with his friends while I stayed at my parents. My brother, Kannika and I went with my mom to pick out their Christmas present. We got them a Sony Bravia 32".

We also got to watch Kung Fu Panda on the new TV and it was a hilarious movie!! We all enjoyed it and are looking forward to getting my dad some stuff to watch and play on the TV while he is recovering from his surgery.

Happy Halloween!

We had a wonderful Halloween!! Last week I was really excited that we won the pumpkin contest at school I had two of my students work with their families to decorate the pumpkin and we won BATTIEST PUMPKIN!!

David came up to school to help me out with my Halloween Pizza Party...it was wonderful my students loved that he came. We had pizza, punch and the CUTEST spider cupcakes!! I'll have to upload the picture as soon as I can upload it off my phone. It was really nice to have the day off and just spend time with David. We picked up the house after I got off of school work to get ready for our Family Halloween Pizza Party that I host every year after the kids went Trick-or-Treating. This year was a little tricky because we also had the last home AHS football game...which we had to have a letter to get into the game as David accidentally lost our season tickets...lol but its all good we got in and enjoyed the 2 quarters of the game that we did watch. We got there late because we wanted to pass out candy and then came home early because it was getting cold and to get all the food ready for the party!! It was so much fun my parents, brother and girlfriend, sister and her family and then my brother all came. I am also excited about Saturday night we're planning a small friends and family football party to watch the Texas vs. Texas Tech game!! Well we got thru Halloween and I am excited about Day Light Savings Time coming up Sunday!!
