Going back to work....

So call me crazy but I am SO ready to go back to work. Maybe it is my current living arrangement, but I LOVE to go work in my classroom to get some peace and quiet. I really knocked it out in two half days and now I am just organizing and adding more "beach" decor. Since I spend so much time at school I like it to be cozy and clean. I covered my "worn out" couch with a turquoise cover and it changed the whole room. Next I am going to clean everything and get rid of ALL dust. This year we are departmentalizing and I am teaching SCIENCE!! I am super excited and am planning all kinds of cool stuff. Call me crazy- but I love my job!

Happy Birthday Jackson

Jackson is 4 today!!

Moving

A few months ago I had a brilliant idea. Our lease was almost up and the rent was going up again and I thought how great it would be to live in my parents trailer and save money so we could buy a house. What the he** was I thinking? First of all- the only storage big enough to hold all of our crap is $125 a month- the RV park rent is $360 a month- plus I will be using more gas. Even though we will still be saving lots of money- I wonder why I put myself in these situations? I always come up with these great ideas- then I get there and realize I am CRAZY!

I have been packing for days- filled about 20 trash bags- and walked in tonight and it looks like I have nothing accomplished. I do give props to David for getting people to help us move the furniture today and to my mom for cooking all 10 of us a home cooked meal. Needless to say I am going to start taking stuff to the trailer tomorrow and maybe it will start to feel like home. LOL. I never imagined calling a trailer a home.

On a better note- I was really afraid David would think we had no financial worries now so he could continue his year long vacation. But NO- he is so motivated. I think the whole pride thing has kicked in. When he woke up this morning he told me that he was a new man! Not sure what that means yet, but...... he told me when he went to bed tonight that he would be happy living anywhere as long as he had Jackson and me. Awwwwww....... He better find a job soon........ I hear the homeless shelters aren't that comfortable.

Papaw liked to cut a rug!

I was looking through the pictures and CD's from Papaw's funeral things and came across this video from a few months ago. I had to share to show how much fun Papaw was and how much he loved us Grandchildren. I love you Papaw and miss you more each day!

Tom Thumb!

So I went to Tom Thumb today to pick up some groceries for David while I am gone to Austin. I had a list so that I could get in and out because I have a million things to do before I leave. I walk in and BAM! The whole store has been rearranged. It takes me 30 minutes to buy a few things and through all of my frustration I forgot Jackson's dog food. How could I forget the most important man in my life? LOL!!

I am leaving for Austin with my Mom in the morning. Really excited for a girl's ONLY trip. Though it is for work we are going to hit up the outlet mall and 6th Street. Plus we are staying in a SUPER nice hotel with a Starbucks built inside. Should be a lot of fun. It seems in the rush of getting back from San Antonio and the super busy weekend I had I forgot to tell my husband I was going to Austin. OOPS.... Sorry Babe!

I got back from Sea World on Thursday. We had a great time and the weather was perfect! To my suprise I came home to a perfectly clean house! I guess David realized he missed me!! LOL!! Last night we went to Kelli and Aaron's house and had such a good time. I love spending time with their boys. Jackson says my name now and it is so darn cute. He actually said David's a few times too. Garrett is so sweet- BEST baby- only cried once the whole time we were there.

Tonight was family night. We went to Ojedas for my Nana's 70th, Uncle Danny's 50th, and Chase's 16th. We had such a good time visiting with family. Someone asked us the question tonight "when are you two going to have kids?" We have not been asked that question in a while. I used to say after I graduate with my Masters, but that is coming up in December. We talked about it on the way home some. We BOTH want kids, would LOVE to have them, but just not in any hurry. I guess the Lord will bless us with a baby when the time is right. Hope everyone has a great weekend!!

Headed to Sea World!

So I am up way too late and have not even packed and am leaving tomorrow for San Antonio with Jaime and the Girls~ so excited!! David was all for it at first, but I think he is gonna miss me!! Then in two weeks I am headed off to Austin with my mom. FUN FUN FUN!! I think a liitle bit of time apart is just what David and I need.

There is not a day that goes by that I dont think of Papaw. When I wake up at night I look around and expect that one day I will see him. As much as it hurts I am at peace with the Lord because I know he is not hurting anymore.

Will blog this weekend with some pics and stories from Sea World!!
