I guess if everybody else is doin' it...

Well since Rachel and Emily both updated, I suppose I will as well. :)

1. My job this summer was exhausting, sometimes stressful, but fun! It was nice to get the experience and will look quite good on my resume.

2. We went to the beach the last week in July, just like every other year. We were in a new house in a new location, but it was still a very fun time. We had 21 of Chris' family come and enjoyed the time very much.

3. I am back at Spaght for one final semester and am working with 1st, 3rd, and 4th grade.

4. I find out on Monday where I will spend my next 2 semesters teaching. I have a semester of pre-student teaching, and then I will student teach at the same school. Staying at the same school will actually really help with the papers I have to do to graduate.

5. I am heading to Colorado in a few weeks for Rachel's 30th birthday bash. :)

6. The wedding plans are coming along well. We have a lot of the big things done, or at least know what we are doing. We are at just over 6 months until the big day! :D

7. Chris is once again filming the football games for Wichita Heights. That means I have Friday nights to myself! Last night was spent hunting for bargains at the mall!


That's all I can think of for now. I'll try to do better on updating!

Going Green on Three-Thirteen!

Chris and I have FINALLY set a FOR-SURE date for the wedding. It will NOT change again, or else I am going to the courthouse. lol. March 13, 2010 in Hutch!

Wahoo!!!

Catch-up

Woo...it's been a long time since I updated! Our life has been crazy busy, which has made the semester go by very fast. Chris has been at his job for a month now and he loves it. It's tiring, but he's done very well so far, and has gotten many compliments from the "big wigs." :) He hasn't been able to get out on the golf course much..what with this crazy weather! He also finishes up his masters degree next week! YAY!!! What an accomplishment!

I have been constantly on the go, traveling to Haysville several times a week to do some student teaching, then classes, then babysitting 2-3 time a week, then trying to get homework done in the evenings! Whew...this summer can't come fast enough. Even then, it won't be much of a break. I will be working full time as the Assistant Director for a Summer Daycamp. It should be quite the experience, and I'm really looking forward to it. Beats a regular summer job!

I was able to go visit Rachel and the fam in Charlotte for spring break, and it was nice to have some time away from school and whatnot. I was so busy relaxing, that I didn't take many pictures...oops. :D Thanks Rachel and Jon for letting me come!

Now it's back to the grind, with 6 weeks until classes are over! Hopefully it won't take me another month to update!

Job Update

A quick update on Chris' interviews. They went really well, and he was offered the job! It is with TruGreen Chem Lawn, and he will be doing stuff with lawns...obviously not my expertise. :) He starts March 2, and is pretty excited.

He is really sad about leaving his job now, but his boss has said that he can comein and work whenever he can, so a few hours on the weekends, and maybe some afternoons in the summer. That way, he can still play golf for free!!

He will also be helping coach baseball at Heights this spring. He is really excited to get back into playing baseball again, and I think he will enjoy coaching alot.

Thanks for your prayers, we are really happy and relieved that he got this job. God has once again provided, and lifted a huge burden off our shoulders.

New House

Here is the front of it. I don't want to give the address out...just in case there are creepos looking. :) But, Grandma...I will give it to you, don't worry! :D

Here is a slideshow of more pictures...hopefully this will work.

Quick Prayer Request

Hey all, just wanted to ask for prayers for Chris. He has a job interview on Friday, and it's been really frustrating for him to not find something. It's not ultimately what he wants to do with his life, but it is a step up from his job now. He loves his job, but there just isn't enough income, and more importantly it doesn't have any benefits. We're optimistic, and would really appreciate your prayers!

Funny Spaght Moment

This was sent to all the staff at school on Friday from the Technology teacher...

**I was doing a Kagan activity with the 5th graders the other day while they were in technology (computer version of round table). They were to type a sentence and when the time went off they rotated to the next computer to add to their classmates stories. At the end, I gave them time to go back to their original story and see what they as a class created. I walked around and read over shoulders and laughed when I got to the end of this story!!



One day when I was at home we were boiling eggs. Once we put them on we thought about them for a second you are mad today are you to. Then we take out the eggs. We take the boiled yolk out. Then we mix it with some spices. We were also making deviled eggs. They will be good if you try them. And if you do not like them than eat some of cydney’s chocolate cookies. They best not make me sick because

I am lack toast and tolerant

and it stinks to, I can’t eat cookies!!!!!

Some of it doesn't even make sense, but notice the bold. HAHAHA
