These are the Days of My Life

I am a Christian wife and mother. I am a first grade teacher and could not love my job more. I balance many activites in my life and pray that it is all held together with God's love, strength and mercy.

We Are Marshall





This is a great movie. As you know Charles was in it and if you miss the first 10 minutes, then you will miss him. As Marshall is losing the first game of the movie, Charles is the East Carolina coach in purple who is jumping up and celebrating their win. He raises his arms in the air in slow motion. It was a very inspiring movie and needless to say Matthew Maconaughy (I know I did not spell that correctly.) was sooo good. A must see for the holidays...

Four Wheeler Fun!



Yes, I can not believe it either, but we purchased Hannah a four wheeler. Of course it is a kid's version and yes the helmet exceeds DOT standards....but I am still a little nervous. Charles has been out there all day with her teaching her and allowing her to get comfortable before will allow her to go in the backyard.

Christmas 2006











It seems like this was the most relaxing Christmas ever! I think it was because we did not have to rush anywhere the day after Christmas. Hannah got her pink ds and we gave her a four wheeler. I will post those pictures later. She still has to be thoroughly instructed with proper driving procedures. I have my rooster lamp and Billy is happy with his new grill. We enjoyed establishing new traditions in our new home. It brings new meaning to "home for the holidays". I am enjoying staying up late watching movies and sleeping in. I was able to go the the after Christmas sales yesterday for the first time ever! (I may have done this in high school.) It is fun to shop without the pressure of everyone to buy for. Well, now that it is all over I will take down the tree tomorrow and try to enjoy the New Year's festivities. The New Year will bring with it two new classes (my Master's) and hopefully, Billy a new account. (We hope!) More to come on our New Year's resolutions......

AGGGGHHHHH!!!

The title of my blog greatly describes my life right now. Just a few things going on right now, my MASTER's classes- final exams, catering a church Christmas party, out of town guests this weekend, Hannah and her school work, Christmas shopping, new business I have started, teaching 1st grade, just started teaching 3 year old at Sunday School and oh yeah I am a wife. I have dropped (not on purpose) the Inner City Ministry that I do. I just don't have time for it all. O can not wait for Christmas break. I want to just sit by the fire, with my feet up, book in my hand and coffee in the other. I am drooling and gotta go- time to go get the Christmas card done. Will write back in two weeks. Happy shopping!
