Finally

FINALLY we got our wedding pictures back, after waiting for almost 4 months.
Here's one of my absolute favorites :)



It looks like two pictures in one, but Dad and I are actually hiding behind the door so Grey can't see me. Can you sense the excitement, love, and anticipation? I love it.


Can you tell that we're excited?



I love these two!



:) Happy almost Friday!

What happens when you put your rainboots in the dryer? (Click on it to enlarge)



Yeah...that's a little preview of what the entire dryer looks like now. Whoops.

Conversation Pt 2

Please refer back to this post if you need a refresher.
The so-called student from conversation number one has indeed shown up again. In this story, we find ourselves back to last Friday. Yours truly was doing parking lot duty (this involves making sure that people aren't in the parking lot) when a car drove by with our student in it. "So- called student" was leaving with their friends during third block and while leaving, decided to WAVE goodbye at me. What a dear, right?

This brings us to today. I mentioned to this student that I had caught him/her skipping school on Friday. As I imagined, the student could think of no such incident that involved skipping on Friday.

About 5 minutes before the bell rang, I told the student that I was going to follow him/her up to their next class so I could inform that teacher that they had skipped their class the Friday before.

At this point, the student TOOK OFF and ran out of my classroom. I wrote a referral and when the bell rang for the next class, I went into the cafeteria searching for the student. After I located them, I sat down and threw the referral on the table right beside them.

Student: What. Did I do something wrong?
Teacher: What makes you think that running from a teacher might be good?
Student: WELL YOU WOULD RUN FROM YOU IF YOU WERE ME!

:)
I love my job!

Petco? It's where the pets go. Petsmart? Well that's where the dogs fart!

:) Grey said that randomly as we passed a petsmart yesterday and I thought it was absolutely hilarious.
So recent occurrences:
1. WE HAVE A GARDEN! Grey's dad was so kind and generous to supply us with all the things needed to set up our first square foot garden (shown below).

In there, we have three different kids of lettuce, broccoli, strawberries, and onions! I'm so excited!
We're hoping to save enough money to start another one right beside it. In that one, we want squash, zucchini, jalapenos, tomatoes, spinach, and peppers.

The flowers and the bird feeder were bought yesterday with some of the last of our wedding money. In the pot on the left we have purple violas and orange marigolds in honor of Clemson. In the pot on the right, we have yellow, pink, and red snap dragons.
We haven't actually seen any birds since we moved here but we're hoping that we can lure them in with a little food. :)

2) With the last part of our wedding money, we bought...A HAMMOCK! It's a huge ginormous double hammock. Of course since we don't have two lovely random trees sitting in our backyard, we had to purchase a stand which was 100 bucks (I thought it was a tad overpriced) but it was either purchase a stand, or buy two 4x4's and some concrete and make our own hammock stand. I'd rather go with option one.




3) I got asked to be Susan's matron of honor! I am always so completely honored when someone asks me to be in their wedding - I feel like it's the sweetest thing in the world to share in their day! Yay Susan and Will! I'm so excited for you!







4)How are the old married farts you may ask?

We're doing well! March 18th just passed meaning that we've been married for 3 months now! (Don't worry, I won't do this every month). I've decided that I love the companionship the most about marriage. It's fabulous! I love living life with the same person over and over again! It's so much fun at times! Other times...eh...well Grey gets punched a lot - LIKE today when he tried to convince me that he and I went and saw "How to train your dragon." Um - no we didn't. I've never seen it in my entire life. You know who he ended up seeing it with? STINKIN JASON ELVINGTON! Yep - YOU have made it into my blog two times in a row. You're in trouble dude. :)

Love y'all!

Conversations

Number 1:
Student: Mrs. Lancaster, can I step outside?
Teacher: What do you need to do?
Student: I don't wanna tell you.
Teacher: Um ok, well...NO.
Student (takes deep breath and starts frantically talking): I GOTTA FART! I DON'T WANNA FART IN FRONT OF EVERYONE, PLEASE!
Teacher (holding back laughter): Ok - PLEASE go!

Number 2:
Student: Does your husband like God?
Teacher (smiling): Yep - my husband loves God. It's how we met. :)


Number 3:
Husband: If I could change one thing about myself, it would be that I was less ticklish
Wife: Hmm...if I could change one thing about myself, I wouldn't have body fat (my thinking - so I could fit into my old clothes again, not so I would be ridiculously thin or anything).
Husband: But then you'd be flat chested!
Wife: Of ALL the things wrong with me not having body fat, you choose to focus on the FLAT CHESTED one?! I'm blogging about this!
Husband: What about our children readers?
Wife: Like Jason Elvington?

Hehe :)
Love y'all!

Uh oh's

1. What happens when a measuring spoon goes down the drain?
You have an uh oh- and the garbage disposal refuses to work and we buy and dump a whole bottle of draino down the drain until we realize that something is straight up blocking the passage way.


2. What happens when you get knocked in the mouth with a knee while at wrestling practice?
You have an uh oh - GROSS!


3. What happens when you're so stressed during class that you're using a stapler to tie up your restless hands?
You have an uh oh - and straight up punch a staple through your finger.
(No pictures for this one...sorry folks!)

Hopefully we won't have anymore "uh oh's" for the week!
