It went great and I'm feeling wonderful! I took a week and a half off from work and it was sure nice. Although my kids were "little hellions" while I was gone as someone told me (not that they aren't with me). I really did miss them! I was glad to get back and "whip" them back into shape (no I don't really whip them, don't worry).</div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">In other news: Fronk had his little surgery yesterday and I was looking forward to him kind of being mellow and calm...wrong! Its as if he never had surgery!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I have been taking a little more time to think about maybe starting a photography business. It kinda scares me to even say anything on here about it. I've never been one of those people who is overly confident (or any confident for that matter). I usually think most everything I do isn't good enough. Because of that I've missed out on a lot of opportunities in my life. But photography is something that I am very passionate about. I know that I have a lot to learn about but I'm having fun experimenting!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">My sweet sister-in-law asked me to take pictures of her children again this year for their Christmas card.

I was up all night and thought a few times about going to the ER but instead decided to tough it out. However, I knew something was really wrong so I went to the urgent care that day and they set up an ultrasound for me because they thought it was something with my gallbladder. So I went and got my ultrasound and told the technician that I thought the first time I got an ultrasound would be because I was having a baby but instead of a baby I was having gallstones! Then next thing I did was head to a surgeon to talk to him about what I needed to do. There is no other option but to take out my gallbladder. I have multiple gallstones and I couldn't hate them more! I will be having surgery this coming Wednesday so prayers are appreciated. I will be out of work for recovery at least a week and a half. I have been in pretty terrible pain since my last attack and can't really eat much more than soup and crackers so I'm hoping I make it until Wednesday. </div><div><br /></div><div>In other news my niece Emerson came over to our house a few weeks ago and her mom wanted me to take some pictures of her in her outfit so here they are. I know I'm biased but she is just too cute!</div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3Lx89cz0t3w/SuuMnz1BbwI/AAAAAAAAE-Q/jnE4yHvuCFA/s320/DSC_0458.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398563193889058562" /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3Lx89cz0t3w/SuuMoaTc-4I/AAAAAAAAE-Y/ADgUxf5Wp00/s1600-h/DSC_0456.jpg"><img style="display:block;

His Halloween greeting cards are now on sale. <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=8037701">So go to his shop and take a look</a>. <div><br /></div><div>He is in the process of creating holiday cards and canine cards. He did a card with my precious dogs on the front which I absolutely love...it is a perfect example of their personalities! Here is a picture of the card:</div><div><br /></div><div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 319px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3Lx89cz0t3w/StKPsBsgRJI/AAAAAAAAE4E/8VcP6iczdd4/s320/il_430xN.93893707.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391529690448020626" /></div><div><br /></div><div>He also does custom orders and would love to create something for you for the holidays or a custom card of your precious pups!

This fall began with an exciting new addition to our friends, the Blankenships, family. They welcomed a new baby boy, Barrett, into the world on Oct. 1st. Barrett was 3 weeks early and was completely healthy and beautiful. We have seen him a couple times already and can't wait to watch him grow up. He is adorable. We were able to take him his first pumpkin today...we'll go ahead and say he liked it but really he could care less. His mom, however, was very excited to have Barrett's first pumpkin. Sadly, no pictures yet. Hopefully soon!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div>On Oct. 2nd we went to the Dave Matthews Band concert with Alec's sister and her husband. We thought it was great although I was very curious as to who was smoking the pot near us.<div><div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div>Oct. 3rd our friend, Sarah, from high school got married. She looked beautiful. It was nice to see some old friends. Again, no pictures. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div>Alec was in Dallas all last week for work so I went to stay with my parents. I love staying with them. They take such good care of me, do my laundry, cook me meals, make my lunch, take care of my dogs, etc. It makes Alec being gone a little bit easier.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div>Today we ripped out all of our summer flowers and planted fall flowers. It was sad to see my beautiful flowers go but I love the mums, pansies, and cabbage that I planted today. I will post pictures soon.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div>Then we went to the pumpkin patch and ate at Rons's...nothing like a great bowl of chili on a crisp fall day!</div><img style="display:block;

So take a look at his Etsy shop. He hand painted these awesome Halloween cards (he's so meticulous). I know Halloween isn't really a holiday that is big on sending out greeting cards but these are super cute and original and definitely worth sending out to your friends and family this year! I believe he will also be adding cards for other holidays eventually as well as some other artwork. Let me know what you think...he would love to hear some feedback!<div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><div>His Etsy shop is: <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=8037701">The Painted Peep Show</a></div><div><br /></div><div>Here is some of his work...</div><div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3Lx89cz0t3w/Sq7NnM2TByI/AAAAAAAAE0I/quO7y1LPEjw/s320/il_fullxfull.90463737.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5381464678101878562" /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3Lx89cz0t3w/Sq7N2P60GWI/AAAAAAAAE0g/JUxB2CZM0_U/s320/il_fullxfull.90445270.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5381464936624167266" /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3Lx89cz0t3w/Sq7NmsAsjqI/AAAAAAAAE0A/dfMTiHbBgog/s320/il_fullxfull.90460139.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5381464669287124642" /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3Lx89cz0t3w/Sq7N16L1LdI/AAAAAAAAE0Y/whpsJPv6ba4/s320/il_fullxfull.90446701.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5381464930789961170" /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3Lx89cz0t3w/Sq7NmPLhQuI/AAAAAAAAEz4/UVaBlFvGpos/s320/il_fullxfull.90434666.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5381464661547893474" /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3Lx89cz0t3w/Sq7N1bzY3cI/AAAAAAAAE0Q/EOUreBYuFSg/s320/il_430xN.90448165.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5381464922634378690" /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-615283064760060240.post-62019383035903466842009-08-30T09:31:00.000-07:002009-08-30T09:52:06.985-07:00On Saturday...We spent the whole day together playing with the dogs, working around the house, and going to Woodward Park and Utica Square.

He's still so little.<br /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3Lx89cz0t3w/SpqrqBWzWtI/AAAAAAAAEw0/Mdfhp1LtzdY/s320/DSC_0307.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375797843627039442" /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3Lx89cz0t3w/SpqrpiqlB4I/AAAAAAAAEws/RPQ-U2hzzu4/s320/DSC_0306.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375797835388487554" /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3Lx89cz0t3w/Spqp3ddfS3I/AAAAAAAAEwM/CwlWbSEIH0M/s320/DSC_0325.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375795875486321522" /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3Lx89cz0t3w/Spqp2vUMKEI/AAAAAAAAEwE/P_RpaY95OLo/s320/DSC_0323.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375795863099287618" /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3Lx89cz0t3w/Spqp2DNfxGI/AAAAAAAAEv8/7Jk1FQGWPn8/s320/DSC_0315.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375795851260052578" /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3Lx89cz0t3w/Spqp1RbsEYI/AAAAAAAAEv0/k3IgFs4L_zg/s320/DSC_0312.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375795837897806210" /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3Lx89cz0t3w/Spqp0yk4nLI/AAAAAAAAEvs/GEdnASEWx6Q/s320/DSC_0311.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375795829614877874" /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3Lx89cz0t3w/Spqrq5QEJTI/AAAAAAAAEw8/Qkvheuydzpo/s320/DSC_0345.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375797858631165234" /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3Lx89cz0t3w/SpqqJ3NFoMI/AAAAAAAAEwk/n3H8PPry4Mg/s320/DSC_0380.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375796191634497730" /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3Lx89cz0t3w/SpqqJRKTspI/AAAAAAAAEwc/WQZ3IennM_8/s1600-h/DSC_0377.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3Lx89cz0t3w/SpqqJRKTspI/AAAAAAAAEwc/WQZ3IennM_8/s320/DSC_0377.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375796181422289554" /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3Lx89cz0t3w/SpqqIu1bzWI/AAAAAAAAEwU/2N-U0Z8ihw8/s1600-h/DSC_0354.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 307px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3Lx89cz0t3w/SpqqIu1bzWI/AAAAAAAAEwU/2N-U0Z8ihw8/s320/DSC_0354.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375796172207934818" /></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-615283064760060240.post-81473116898718929232009-08-29T08:44:00.000-07:002009-08-29T09:29:53.771-07:00HodgepodgeI feel like the past few weeks have been a whirlwind! After coming home from our trip to Boston I spent nearly everyday at school getting ready for my new students. Its crazy because you would think there would not be that much to do since I'm in the same classroom and teaching the same grade as last year....WRONG! My first day of school was Aug. 20th and I was definitely ready to meet my new kiddos...we have had 7 days of school so far and it is going well...although I miss my kids from last year (they were an awesome class) I know that the Lord has placed each and every one of these students in my classroom for a reason and I can't wait to get to know them and see how the Lord wants to use me this year for these students! Also, I've been very excited this year because my friend Bonnie from high school has her daughter in a Kindergarten class at my school so I get to see her and her precious daughter more! <div><br /><div><div>Besides school I've done a few other things...saw Keith Urban and Sugarland in concert with my mommy...we had a great time and what made it even better was that Keith walked within 5 feet of us....we were squealing like little girls! </div><div><br /><div>I've celebrated 9 family birthdays and have two more to go in September...then were done until January! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div>We also have welcomed a new "nephew" into the family...well he's a dog but that still counts!

One of the extra rooms turned into somewhat of a storage space (see pictures below and you will see what I mean). This room was HUGE and BLUE (ceiling and all). We knew when we bought the house we would want to paint it. So this past March over my spring break I spent a few days priming and painting the walls. It seemed like a simple enough task except for the fact that underneath the girlie border was another border that had been painting over! We sprayed, scraped, steamed, and scraped some more. Not much progress was being made so I made a decision that we were just going to cover up the dark blue with some lovely white bead board. I am very excited about the idea and I hope that it will look somewhat like how I imagine it in my head (we'll see). Okay enough rambling...here is a picture of the room when we moved in. Please remember that we are not even close to being finished with this room I just wanted you to see the beautiful crown molding that Alec installed this weekend! I LOVE it! He's quite the handy man! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">The blue room before</div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3Lx89cz0t3w/SmS7ZzjZnjI/AAAAAAAAErY/DZGYgDoKYBc/s320/DSC_0486.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5360615508487544370" /><div style="text-align: center;">the border that was around the room</div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3Lx89cz0t3w/SmS71JdNX1I/AAAAAAAAErg/PLSB488QFHI/s320/DSC_0284.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5360615978223624018" /><div style="text-align: center;">The new color on the wall and ceiling and the wonderful crown molding!</div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3Lx89cz0t3w/SmTFPJh0LsI/AAAAAAAAEr4/pyfmFRZMk-Y/s320/DSC_1079.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5360626320524193474" /></div><div style="text-align: center;">See what I mean about this room being our extra storage room!</div><div style="text-align: center;">The bead board will come up to the top of the light blue paint on the wall.</div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3Lx89cz0t3w/SmS8-HyP9oI/AAAAAAAAEro/ljV62usLC4Q/s1600-h/DSC_1082.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3Lx89cz0t3w/SmS8-HyP9oI/AAAAAAAAEro/ljV62usLC4Q/s320/DSC_1082.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5360617231905453698" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">I think one of the reasons that this room is taking so long to finish is because Alec knows I want to make it a nursery for when we have a baby (which is not going to be anytime soon so don't get excited) and he thinks the quicker it gets finished the sooner I will want to have baby. Haha, he kills me! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2
