Life via pictures

My down time when I get home consists of reading blogs. It is such a relaxing pastime. Many of your blogs make me feel better about my crazy life, that seems to be hanging by a thread some days. I am making the effort to stay on top of my blogging. So trust me, I am trying my hardest. I have a few pictures to show. They aren't the greatest, SORRY.

Daddy and I went out to eat at In and Out Burger. After, I got this tasty treat.

My outfit for tomorrow.

I think I am going to go with the cheeta. They are WAY more comfortable.

I forgot to tell you about......

Post It guy. I did finally text him last Saturday. We text all day and night. Then he CALLED on Sunday night. No one has actually called since I was in high school. It was actually a really awesome move on his part. We met for drinks on Friday with a couple of our friends. Then yesterday, he took me out on a date. It was a lot of fun. He is older than me by 6 years. It doesn't really bother me at all though. I am way more mature than people my age, so we are on about the same level. He is a football coach and it actually gave up watching the cowboys game last night to take me out. I'll keep it y'all updated. :-)

New Life

My life is pretty awesome these days. I have a job a love, family that makes me smile, and friends that keep getting better.

THE JOB:

I am beyond stressed with my job. The funny part is that I love teaching and coaching. I feel this surge of love every time I see my volleyball girls. Not in the creepy way, but in the I cannot wait to watch you grow up. Those girls make me smile every day, even when I am having an awful day. Teaching is proving to be a challenge. It isn't the teaching part, it is the paperwork part. I have lesson plans due every Monday at noon. Then I have to have all of my papers into the copy lady three days before I need them. It's the 1st week of school and I am so far behind already. I know I will figure this out. I just need a little time to get ahead. Hopefully, today is that day.

MY FAMILY:

They are fabulous. My cousin had her 2nd baby and he is so handsome. I spent the entire night with them the other night. I can't believe how happy being around a 2 year old, a baby, and a happily married couple, can make me. It gives me hope that one day I will have that kind of happiness.

Baby Christian and I. I had just gotten out of practice, hence the attire.

I could stare at him all day long.

MY FRIENDS:

It is amazing to watch as my friendships grow with me. My life is changing in a huge way and my friends are changing too. We are in the grown up boat together. It is fun to be going through this all at the same time. These huge life changes have made me love them more and more everyday.




MY MORNING:

This is a horribly unflattering picture of me. My cat, Cali, woke me up by kissing me this morning.

Post-It

I had trainning all last week. I was in tranning from 8-4 and then went straight to practice. It was a long week. There is something good that came out of this awful inservice. I got hit on, which never happens. How he did it was rather interesting too. He hit on me via post-it. Yes, the kind that sits on your desk. He had to leave traning early and he left it in my stuff. That was on Thursday. I waited to text him till Saturday. We text all night and then he called me on Sunday. We talked for 2 1/2 hours. Guys really don't call girls anymore. It was a nice change of pace from texting. I am such a better flirt on the phone than in texts. Hopefully he calls tonight because I kind of like him. :-)

The post-it. :-)

The other exciting event this past week was that my cousin had had her second boy!!! Before him there were only 2 babies and both are under the age of two. Babies, therefore, are treated like precious gifts. In my opinion, thats how they should always be treated when they are born. But he is adorable. Momma, Daddy, and older brother are doing fabulous.

I promise, I will post pictures of my classroom soon. It isn't finished but almost. I just have a few more posters to buy to spif it up.


I get to see my brother in two days. I've missed him.

My brother and Chloe. She is his baby.

Being Old/Young

I am too tired to do my list. I know it is Sunday, but honestly I have been unpacking and getting ready for school all day today. Last night I went out with some friends. It was a lot of fun. I am a very driven person. That can be a good thing in the work world but outside of it it isn't such a good quality. I often forget that I am 23 and I should be out living my life. I was glad I was drug out of the house because I had a blast. I was hit on 4 times. They weren't anything worth mentioning but still its still a compliment to be hit on. I had fun being a single, young woman last night.

Inservice starts tomorrow. I am actually going to be a teacher. How did that happen? Ha. I will be a busy bee this week decorating my classroom, decorating the locker room, going to inservice, finishing unpacking, and coaching. See busy week right? Good thing, I only have one game this week. I can rest on Friday night. :-)


As I finish my classroom and my actual room, I will upload pictures. Have a fabulous Monday.

It has been a WEEK

I am sure everyone has those weeks where they just want crawl back into bed. This week was that kind of week for me. I am overwhelmed with everything that is involved in teaching and coaching. It is downright stressful. To make matters worse, my classroom isn't cleaned out from the previous teacher. I know what you are thinking. "Just pack it all up and kick him out." He is the new assistant principal, fabulous. If it isn't clean by Monday; I might scream. School starts on the 22nd and I have nothing done. It is freaking me out a bit because I am such a prefectionist and everything is everywhere. I am trying to remain calm and be excited about having a job. Tomorrow, I am going to the teacher supply store and then out to eat with some of my sorority sisters. I have to say, I am so blessed by my sorority. The women I met through Alpha Gam have become such an important part of my life. I am thankful for the chance to know them.

I have been slacking on blogging. I will be catching up on Sunday. Dare I say two posts, before the craziness starts on Monday.

It's My Birthday!!!

I had a birthday full of work. I had training from 8-4, then a games from 5:30-8:30. After that I went out to eat with my family and best friend. It was a long day but I am blessed beyond belief.

My birthday present from my mom.

My pretty new shoes. I am in love.
