In the words of Christina Aguilera..

Things just keep getting better!
So, I accepted a kindergarten position at a school in Lewisville last week. However, my heart was set on first grade, but I thought what the heck, I'm up for the challenge. Then, today, my wonderful soon-to-be principal called and said a first grade position became available and said I could have first dibs on it! After careful consideration (really just running it by Nick and Casey) I said OF COURSE! First grade is the most rewarding grade ever. It makes my heart smile seeing eager young learners blossom. I'm ready for the year to begin, ha. Know what else makes my heart smile???

Because when they are sleeping together and playing hide-and-go seek, they are the most precious fur babies ever!! :)

Boring day

I didn't wake up until noon. It was great. With the storm and the darkness outside I had no conception of time. Kinda like when you're in Mexico. Only I didn't have a drink with an umbrella, nor the fabulous tan that you get when you come back and everyone is jealous :) but I did get to snooze with my pups (which by the way I decided I guess I'll keep:)

Nick left for Oklahoma for work, so it's just me and the boys until Thursday night. We miss him though. Jennifer will hopefully come over and keep us company tomorrow. We can have girl time which is always nice. I think I'll go to a few stores so that I can see the light of day today, ha. Then Mr. Tux has puppy class tonight! Let's cross our fingers he listens and LEARNS something!

~Love~

Round 2...

So, I thought I'd try my hand at a blog for my class this past year, but now I want to start a personal one. We'll see how often I actually update this thing. I'm not that exciting, however, I tend to have a lot more free time now that it's summer :)

In the past few months a lot has happened. I moved to Frisco with my wonderful boyfriend Nick, got a new job teaching Kindergarten for the upcoming school year and we got a new boxer puppy Tux who is just as cute and sweet as can be! Life is pretty great right now.

~My best friend got engaged in May. November 20, 2010 is the big day! I cannot wait!! I am so excited and happy for her. Casey and I have been best friends since Kindergarten and have dreamt of having fulfilling lives and happiness since we were little girls. We wanted to live together in college, be teachers, find amazing men that would treat us like princesses and live a fabulous life. Check, check, check and check! Although it is bittersweet that we are now, for the first time in a looong time in different places, we're still the same goofy girls we once always were :) You can take the girl out of the country but you can't take the country out of the girl, haha. I am so thrilled for her, Jakey and Cody and am honored to say that she is my bestie and I will share this day with her. Needless to say, there is going to be ALOT of shower, bachelorette and wedding day planning these next few months! I wouldn't want it any other way.

~My other bestie Kelly is pregnant, having a sweet baby boy and is due the DAY AFTER my birthday! I hope the little guy will make his debut a few hours earlier so we can share that day together.  I will be planning a fun shower for her soon as well. I knooow the naaaame (naanny, naanny boo, boo) but it will be revealed the day of her shower. How cool is that?! Maybe I should just make a career change to event planning??! :)

Other than that, me and Nick will be taking a Greek Isle cruise (that he won with his company for being an AWESOME salesman! Way to go honey!!) at the end of September until Oct. 10, HIS birthday! We'll be in Madrid, Spain that day. What a fabulous present :) We are going to Venice, Italy, Greece, Croatia, Turkey and Spain. Ahhh...this is the life :)

These next few months I will just be going to some workshops and training and preparing for the upcoming school year. Right now, Tanner is chewing a bone that he ganked from Tux and Tux is curled up under my desk snoozing. Nick is golfing for a 'work function', ha, and I am watching E! and contemplating an afternoon nap or maybe reading my book by the pool. I'm a lucky girl, that's no doubt :)

I guess I'm not too terribly boring?! ;)
