Spring Happenings

This spring we have been very busy. A new job for Adam, end of the school year for me, races, concerts, etc.

 Mom's first race!

 It poured in the morning, but Talladega was awesome!

Jon came all the way from CA!

We got to see Chad when K.C. and the Sunshine Band came into town. It was great to see our friend! Adam worked the show while Mom, Dad, and I watched with snacks and wine. It was a really cool venue. Hope we can go again.

I was able to attend my first Braves game. I went with some coworkers from work and my friend Amanda was able to come too. It was a lot of fun! A must do again!

Summer To Do List

Last Wednesday was my last day with the kiddos at school. We had a great year! A wonderful way to begin a new school. I will miss them, but I am very excited for a relaxing summer. Last summer I thought it would be enjoyable, but a quick move changed that. This summer I am going to get things done. I am tutoring a couple times a week, but will have plenty of time to complete this to do list:

I feel that this is a good list for around the house. Not over whelming, but it will keep me busy. We also have a vacation or two planned to California and Tennessee (hopefully the beach too). I also plan on going to West Virginia the end of September.

Happy Summer!

Spring Break

Spring break is finally here! The students and their teacher was very ready for the time off. Yesterday was a lot of fun though, as we had a wonderful Easter brunch, learned about Jesus' resurrection, and played board games in the afternoon. I can't believe we are in the last quarter of the year already. It's gone by so quickly and I love my class. Saying goodbye will be hard. But I still have a few weeks ;)

I'm also excited to get some work done around the house and relax! Here is my to-do list for the week.

-Clean
-laundry
-grocery shop
-update grades
-Sunday school organizing
-shopping with my mom :)
-shopping with friends :)
-reading
-baking
-send out Easter cards
-watching a lot of Grey's Anatomy

-celebrating Jesus' death and resurrection at church

More updates to come! Yay spring break!

Three Christmases

We had (are still having) a wonderful Christmas. We were very blessed this year to be able to see both sides of our family!

Christmas #1 was in Roswell with Mom, Dad, and Abby last Wednesday. After Advent service we had snacky foods and opened presents. I got my new brown boots! Yay!

Christmas #2: On Friday we took an early flight to California to see the Toms side. Everyone was there and we had an amazing time hanging out and playing with our sweet nephews. I can't believe how big they are getting. We had a party on Friday, watched Donovan be a shepherd in the Christmas Eve service, and opened presents on Christmas. I also got to see high school friends! Katie, Ashley, and I met for breakfast on Tuesday. It was great seeing them and made me miss our high school group. We are now all over the country. Hopefully we can all connect someday soon.

Christmas #3:Tuesday night we took a red eye flight from California to Atlanta. When we got home we turned around and drove to TN to see the Jordan side of the family. We again opened presents but then played many many exciting games of Euchre, Wizard, and Skipbo. All the cousins were together and my aunt flew in from Germany.

Our family is wonderful and we are so blessed to be able to see everyone this year.

Merry Christmas!

Merry CHRISTmas everyone! I hope you had a wonderful day celebrating the birth of Christ with family and friends.

I have been missing from the blog world but I am now ready to be more proactive in my blogging this coming year. I will be updating you on the past several months in the next several weeks.

Right now I leave you with our Christmas tree:
