While watching the bachelor, Grey says, "There is nothing more attractive than seeing your wife in sweats and fuzzy slippers crocheting on the couch."
Ahh...I love my hubby. :)

500
Grey and I have decided that we need some motivation to work out.
Thus, 500.
Every time we work out, we're going to make a tick mark on a chart.
When we (together) get to 500 (that means 500 times of working out), we're going to reward ourselves with something like...
A dog (provided we have a yard)
A car (provided Trish - my car - has died or is close to dying)
A weekend away
Or something else.
We need suggestions! We want it to be something worth while since it will most likely (unless we go crazy which we won't) take us over a year to achieve.
Thoughts?!

Seedlings!
They're getting out of control...
I held the camera up and said, "Do you gardening face!" Apparently we both had the same idea as to what a "gardening face" looked like.
We only did about half the plants. We wanted the ones that were still really small to keep baking/marinating/growing...whatever you want to call it. :)
These are the beans, watermelon, squash, zucchini, and cucumbers

2011 Favs
I know it's a little late to be reflecting on last year, but I thought I'd take you through some of my favorite pictures from last year.
Here we go!
Here we go!
Epic
This weekend is going to be epic.
1. I'm about to exercise on a Saturday for the first time in about a year.
2. This is Grey's last weekend of wrestling. YAHOOO!!!!!!!
3. I'm going to take a nap.
4. I'm going to paint something.
5. I'm going to grade the pile of make up papers that have been sitting on my desk since cough two cough weeks ago.
6. I'm going to watch my big fat greek wedding.
7. I'm going to cook teriyki chicken and hot and sour soup in the crockpot (I love crockpot meals. They're so amazingly easy.)
8. I found this website. Crockpot365 where the woman used her crockpot every day for an entire year. The recipes from #7 come from this
Yay for the weekend! I hope yours is wonderful!

A letter from a student
Dear Mrs. Lancaster,
Happy 25th birthday!! By the time I give this to you it will be a late happy birthday. I hope you spent your birthday with your loved ones and that they gave you lots of presents! I hope you got to spend the day doing all the things you love! I bet you are proud of so many things at such an early time in your life. Not many people can say they've gone to a great college, are in a loving marriage, and do what they love for a living at 25! You are not lucky, you are blessed. I realized that with God by a person's side, hardwork, and perserverence, there are few limits to what can be accomplished. For example, I am #___ in my class of ____ students! I made it into the _______ and insiders tell me that I've been accepted into ______ for next year. And you, you are married to somebody who loves you and you love back. If you keep God in the center of your marriage, it will be stronger and smoother than most couples. This sounds a little corney (haha, I know that's our kind of humor!!) but when it's time for me to settle down (with a sexy and very lucky man...not just anyone is going to be getting with me ;)) I want to be like you...Not that I'm going to copy your life or anything, but I want to be like you in the sense that I do things right. I want to find a guy that respects me, and when he marrys me, I want to base that relationship in what God wants for us. You've inspired me to be me...haha. I used to feel like I was either shy, sweet, quiet, and "good" or loud spontaneous, crazy and "bad." Thanks to you, I see that it IS possible to be what I was and what I want to be. A strong, tough, funny, spontaneous, outoing, caring person who still follows God's word! Enough about me. I hope that even when you're older (as in 40-50), you still have the youthful and young energy you used to teach us much more than Geometry. Next year I am SO helping you beat _____ in the canned food drive! I miss you Mrs. Lancaster! Take care and never change!

Hello world!
Ok - I'm back and I have ALOT to catch you up on.
First, here are random pictures from the Superbowl over at Krist and Dan's
Oliver dressed up:
Amazing cupcakes - courtesy of Pinterest - Death by Chocolate Oreo cupcakes
The Whiteheads did a little chalk decorating. :)
1-A (Not really under the superbowl heading) I made a purse for Nora
2nd - Valentine's Day
Would you care to know that Hillcrest delivered singing valentine grams on Tuesday? The kids paid for them and with their message came a hand picked song and a homemade cupcake. Three of them were delivered to my classroom and would you care to know how many I received?! TWO! :) I totally beat out all my kids. :) Woo hoo!!!!
I also got a very awkward gift from one of my male students....
3rd - THIS WEEKEND!
Ok - so the story goes that Grey has known that wrestling will take all priority of this weekend since the season started. It's always killed me since my birthday is usually spent alone because of this fact. So this year, Kristi, Dan, mom, dad, and I decided that we were going to get together and have fun without ole Grey.
Since our bank accounts got hacked into on Thursday, my original plans of, "I'll just head straight over from school to Clemson" got turned into, "I'll have to drive to Spartanburg and go to the bank first AND THEN drive all the way to Clemson."
Esh. I got home on Friday and Grey was there waiting to take me to the bank since he had all the information. He casually asked (as I'm peeing mind you - sorry for that bit of info) if I had packed for Kristi and Dan's yet and I answered no because I was waiting until after the bank. He then replied with, "well maybe you should pack for Asheville instead."
Scuse?! Yes. That's right - my husband rocks. He got the weekend off from the tournament THURSDAY night and booked us a stay at a bed and breakfast located in the center of Asheville for Friday night. I was so excited. Like pee in your pants excited. (Good thing I had already peed, right?!)
So here are pics from our trip!
4th - we have seeds! We've planted beans, broccoli, banana peppers, jalapeno peppers, pablano peppers, squash, zucchini, watermelon, carrots, onions, spinach, lettuce (plus a few that I've forgotten). We still have to plant garlic, potatoes, roma tomatoes, and lima beans. Yay!
