6th Grade and Update


This week was my first week interning in 6th grade. So far I love it! The kids know exactly what to do and really work hard. Of course there is some attitude and drama, but I'm actually enjoying it. I really miss my 2nd graders because they were so sweet and loving, but...I'm realizing that I may be meant to be an older grade teacher. We shall see...it is only my 1st week...

Today is our housewarming gift card shower. I'm excited for my friends and family to come by and see our new house! I love having people over! We've already gotten the outside of the house ready, but there is still lots to clean inside...before 12....

My Mammaw has been in the hospital this week. It has been really hard seeing her there. She went in with chest pains. They found that her heart rhythm and blood pressure was fluctuating way too much. They got her stabilized and did several tests. God has really taken care of her this week. They found that she has NO blockages and NO new damage. This was awesome news! She has to start taking aspirin and a new pill to regulate her heart rhythm now. They are going to keep her in the hospital until tomorrow to make sure the new pill does ok with her. Please just continue to pray for her. She means the WORLD to me. It is so hard to see her weak and feeling bad in the hospital. I just pray she's back on her feet and feeling like herself again tomorrow. Thanks for the prayers!

MY WONDERFUL BIRTHDAY!


To start the day off, my wonderful husband had these surprises waiting on me! :) Roses, a card, and wonderful omelets from IHOP! (IHOP is a tradition of ours on my birthday that started when we were first dating).








After my lovely breakfast, I went to school. I gave out a few tests and just started to feel awful...the kids and Mrs. Matthews surprised me with cupcakes and cards at snack! Mrs. Matthews saw I wasn't feeling well at all so she sent me home. I went to Primed and stayed in there for 2 hours! After several Xrays, tests, and a shot in the butt, I found out I have a sinus infection. I came home and took a long nap...





Wes woke me up from my nap and told me to get ready because we had reservations at the Catfish House at 7:00. I wasn't sure if I would make it...I asked him if we could do it another time and he said..."No...um...your surprise is there..." So I got up and got in the shower. When we got there, the waiter took us to a back room where I thought it would just be me and Wes...to my great surprise, my in-laws, Emily and Terry, and Angela were there! I was so excited!













My bestest friend Ang drove all the way from Birmingham! :)



















I told Wes all I really wanted for my birthday was a zebra cake...He did good! :)
















Thanks to my wonderful husband, friends, and family for making my day so, very special! :)
