More Flowers!

I guess I have turned into my mother for sure! I spend more time working on flowers in the yard than I do anything else. I am really enjoying the time outside and enjoy when the weather is a bit cooler. I am still teaching summer school and can't wait until July when I can have a vacation. :-) Some friends and I made "grapenut" ice cream this weekend and I even hit the movie theater to see Iron Man.

Hot!

It has been very hot here for the past week. My thermometer in the shade is reading 99.9F at 2:30pm! Even with the heat, I have been able to keep my flowers alive. I started teaching fifth grade summer school last week and it has been an eye opening experience. I forgot how much math fifth graders know. :-) I have been doing my best to keep cool and enjoy my afternoons off.

One Year Anniversary

I can't believe I have been in my home for a year this weekend! I have done lots of work in the yard and it is starting to look great. I still can't believe that the house is mine. :-)

Mother's Day

We took mom and dad to the Aquarium and World of Coke for Mother's Day. We did the behind the scenes tour, the regular tour, and the 4D movie while visiting the aquarium. Then we were off the the World of Coke and a softball game. We had a great day and they had a great visit.

Krissi's Graduation

Krissi got her Masters Degree in Educational Leadership last week. Mom and dad came down to visit and attend the graduation. We had a fun open house with the kids from her class. I am very proud of my little sister! She is a hard worker!

My New Classroom

I will be teaching at a new elementary school in Cobb County. I am THRILLED to be part of the experience of opening a new school! We had an open house for the parents and public today. It was fun to finally see our classrooms and get an idea of how to set up our rooms. The desks won't stay like this for long! I am too excited about the technology and the clean building!

Relay for Life

I am the team captain again this year for my school's relay for life team. We are raising money for the American Cancer Society. Our theme is the Incredible Hulk and we have been doing great with our fundraising. If you would like to donate to our team...go to www.cobbrelay.org and donate to the Kennesaw Elementary team.

New York City

We enjoyed NYC and can't believe we are back! I had fun and saw many things that I did not see the first time in New York. :-)

Beach Trip

Refreshed and Relaxed! We had a great long weekend at Fort Walton Beach, Florida. Saturday, I spent most of the day either walking or laying on the beach. I had never been to Destin and we went to the outlets there on Sunday. Each meal was spent somewhere near the water. It was just what the doctor ordered. :-)

Quilt

This is a quilt that mom found in my grandmother's attic. It is only the top of the quilt. She is going to finish it with a middle and a back. I think it is cool to see the old quilt styles and the fabrics that they used to make each quilt square.

OMG....Snow in Kennesaw, GA

Yes, we are getting some snow right now. We will be getting some sleet and maybe rain. Who knows if we will have school or not. I hope to stay in PJs tomorrow.

Spring Break!

Krissi, Angela and I planned our New York City spring break trip! We are going for 5 days and 4 nights! We are staying in the Hotel Ellison right in Times Square. I am so excited and think we will have a great time. We have lots of the traditional NYC things planned to do. If you have any suggestions on things you have done or suggest doing, please send them my way. :-)

Let it Snow...

Mom has more snow than she knows what to do with. Check out the different pictures from the different snow storms.

Things Dad Makes...

These are all cool shaker style boxes that dad makes for us. The card box is very cool. The top comes off in a unique fashion. Dad is very creative!
