Playoff season has begun!!

Well life has been pretty normal lately. Aside from David being on the sickly end of it...he's been sick 2 times in 2 weeks. We finally went to the doctor and he's finally feeling better. Well we've finally settled in a bit but our weekends seem to keep getting busier and busier!! We haven't had a calm nothing to do weekend since before the wedding. Wedding weekend, Halloween Party, 16th Bday party, Club Thanksgiving Dinner, AHigh football and now we have another wedding to attend!! Here is one of my favorite shots I took at the A-High vs. Arlington Lamar Playoff game!! I went with my brother and dad while David hung out with the "boys" and had a bachelor party for Tyler. It was an awesome game and I enjoyed it even more since it was at the new Cowboys Stadium. To make it more fun my bestie Sharon came to the game too...its always nice to just spend sometime with your friend regardless of where your at!! Well David is recovering nicely and I can't wait to have him at 100% again.

On a different note school has been going great especially these coming weeks. I had one of the greatest little girls in my class turn 5 yesterday and we let her parent celebrate her birthday with our class. Of course they loved it...CUPCAKES = SUGAR!! Today we had a field trip to Oak Wood Trails at the Abilene Supported Living Center. At first it was like ohh yay a nature walk with my class...attention span = 0 but they did awesome and it was really fun we walked and there were activities we could do along the trail. We swung on a Rope Swing, Log Swing and a HUMAN sized Tetter Totter. It was awesome and to end it all we had lunch at the picnic tables and let the kids play at the attatched playground!!! and YES Christina and I both slide down the slide!! I am very excited that there are only 5 days of school till Thanksgiving break and then 3 weeks after that till Christmas Break and then I don't have to go back until Jan 5th!!

For those that have been waiting for this update my sister had her surgery and is waiting to heal before she does 4 more rounds of chemo. I am so thankful for all the prayers for her. Its amazing how much this year has made us grow and change. Death is a sad thing but I keep believing that one day we'll see the LIFE that it brings. I can honestly say for both of us we never saw this coming nor knew how to prepare for everything that has happened to us. I am really looking forward to starting a new year with my new husband an all the new journeys we'll be on!!

And PS. I have really been trying hard to incorporate diet and exercise into my daily routine...3 days good so far...MUST get better!!

Pumpkin Patch!!

Well this week at school has been kinda crazy...children tend to act different as the weather changes. However we were lucky that the rain stopped long enough for us to take them to the Pumpkin Patch!! Here is a picture of myself and my assistant Christina..

We've been working really hard on making our classroom look like Fall and Halloween coming up. Today Christina made us a night sky and GIANT pumpkin outside our room...pics of that to come as we start adding their art work to the walls.

Aside from school I've been doing more and more things for the wedding lately and things are falling into place...YAY!!! This weekend is my Bachelorette Party in Austin...I am really excited my friends and family are all coming!! and to top it all off....we're going to a SPA!! I need some serious relaxation. We'll back to the daily grind..T-minus 4 hrs till we hit the road to AUSTIN!!

The Farmer in the Dell!!

Friday my class and I went on our first field trip to May Farm!! Im not legally allowed to show my kids therefore I won't but I can show you pictures of some of the Farm Animals that we saw while on the trip!! These are the cutest BEEFALO I've ever seen...there were Roosters, Chickens, Hedgehogs, Baby Goats, Donkeys, Buffalo, Rabbits and ofcourse a Llama!! Which was quite fitting as we'd read Is your mama a llama? in class that week!!

Almost a month later!!

Wow! I didn't even realize I hadn't updated or posted anything in practically a month. David & I both have been extremely busy with school and getting our assignments in. But we're making it...one day at a time!! Between work, school and life in general I am pleased to say OUR HOUSE IS CLEAN!! More thanks to David but I've helped with some laundry...About 5 more weeks and I'll finally be home during the day and just working one job. Student Teaching has been really really busy. We took our first field trip on Friday to Tipi Village!! Lets just say they LOVED IT...Its awesome getting to see how excited they get with the smallest things. I was excited that we got to go to Tipi Village because since its my senior year it was nice to see Homecominig Full Swing!! My teacher went out for her maternity leave on the 13th of October so since then I have been on my own you could say. I have a sub with me and that helps alot. This coming week is Red Ribbon Week and I know my kids are going to get a laugh out of all the different dress up days we're going to have!! Friday is also Halloween and I know they will be excited about that. We're having a Pizza Party and watching movies!! I have just one more observation to get thru and I'll be done!! My niece and I are starting to think of plans for Aaron's and My GRADUATION!! Who knows what we'll come up with!
