My hair

I am thinking about cutting my hair. I have been growing it out for almost a year but now I am pretty much over it. It has gotten pretty long but the problem is that I never want to take the time to fix it so I always end up putting it up. One of the reasons I don't fix it is because I can't stand the feeling of my hair touching my back. I can even feel it through my shirts. So what is the point of having long hair if I am never going to wear it down?! I want to cut it to where it is right above my shoulders and put some auburn red high lights in it. I don't think I'll do the bangs again though because it is too much work...

Pictures

I just figured out how to add a photo album. I only have pictures from this past weekend and a couple of random ones from April but I'm working on it :-) Oh, and for those of you who don't know where to look just look to the left under "connections". Click on the word "photos"

MIAMI

We went to Miami this weekend and I must say it was an interesting experience. We got a lot of sun on Sunday and both of us were a little sunburnt but I am all better. Stephen is still in a little pain but he'll be o.k. We got home today and Stephen cut the grass while I went to the grocery store. Then we grilled hamburgers and Tostones and are now relaxing and getting ready for bed. Oh, we have a contract on the house. We won't have a definate yes for a while but I am thankful that we have a contract. The first people who looked at the house put an offer on it. I am praying that everything goes through o.k. and I would love it if everyone else would pray for us as well. Lord willing we will be back in Birmingham by August :-) Well, I just wanted to update; I'll be back later!

It's Friday

It's Friday and tomorrow Stephen and I are going to Miami for a little R & R! I am so excited!!! Well, we have 1 more week of classes and then exam week. I am so ready to get out for the summer, these kids are pretty much making me crazy. So everything is good down here. Stephen and I celebrated our 2 year anniversary last weekend :-) I can't wait for Miami, I want to eat some good spanish food. Oh, and we are taking Diva and Sox so that should be interesting. Hopefully I'll have some pics to post when we return :-)

The school year is almost over

YAY!!! I know it's been a while since I have had an update but I have been very busy and when I'm not busy I've been super lazy. Only 3 more weeks of school left and then I can rest for 2 months. This has been a great year, but I must say that I am glad it's almost over. By this time the kids are stir crazy and my patience is wearing thin. The seniors already have one foot out the door; their last day is next Friday. I find it very odd that we continue to hold class for an entire week after 1/3 of the students are gone. There will be no new material, basically we will all be glorified babysitters. Whatever. So, new news, Stephen and I have decided to oficially put the house on the market. I know, I know, we are very wishy washy. Well, truth be told it is Stephen that is so back and forth but he has made up his mind. There is no turning back. You know what this means, watch out Mama and Bubba, here we come :-) We leave the nest and then come flyin back in :-) I know it's going to wonderful to be back. I can hang out with my mom and my friends whenever I want without having to plan a trip. Anyways, everything is good down here with the hubby and myself, it's just hard not to think about going back home. This has been a good experience. I probably never would have become a teacher had I not moved down here. We've had a good two and a half years. Speaking of time, our wedding anniversery is coming up this Saturday, same day as my final. On one hand I can't believe it's been two years and on the other hand it seems like it's been forever. Life is good... I have to go. I need to vaccum the house and do some laundry

The joys of school

I started taking my last 2 classes for education last Saturday. It is not fun having to wake up at 7 am on my off day. I won't get to sleep in for the next 8 weeks. I will say that class is going well. We are there from 8:30-4:30 every Saturday. Well, I should say that is the time we are supposed to be there. She has let us out between 2-3 both weeks so hopefully it will continue that way. Work is also going well. We only have 7 weeks left; that means 6 weeks of instruction, 2 days of review, and 3 days of exams. Then I am OUT until August 11th. YAY!!! It's going to be a wonderful summer :-) Oh, and good news, I was recommended for a renewal of contract for the 2008-2009 school year. The first 3 years of teaching, at any school, you are up for renewal at the end of the year. This year there have been extreme budget cuts and I was lucky enough to not be affected. I guess you can chalk it up to no one else wanting to teach Interior Design (actually not KNOWING how to). The only way I wouldn't be re hired is if someone else in the county that teaches design got laid off and has precedence over me. I am the newest addition so my head is always on the chopping block! but anyways, I am going outside now to wash the cars before it gets dark. Just thought I would put an update out there :-)

I love it!!

We got our car last Thursday. It is so nice, I love driving it. Although, I am a little rusty driving a stick shift. Anyways, I have to rush, we are about to leave for church.
