If you're married, humor me!
Give me three things that you wish someone would have told you before you were married! GO!
1)
2)
3)
*If you're not married, humor me and make something up! I'll let you know how accurate you were!
*If it's too embarassing, email me :)
My guess?
1) Boys will fart under the covers and then suffocate you with it.
2) The laundry never seems to end
3) Time for myself? Was there ever such a thing?

19 days!
"Oh, to grace how great a debtor,
Daily I'm constrained to be!
Let Thy goodness, like a fetter,
Bind my wand'ring heart to Thee.
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
Prone to leave the God I love;
Here's my heart, Lord, take and seal it,
Seal it for Thy courts above."
Daily I'm constrained to be!

Bind my wand'ring heart to Thee.
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
Prone to leave the God I love;

Seal it for Thy courts above."

Referring to this post, I'd like to update you on where we are in this most important countdown:
1) Rings - we're working on it. The ring guy is fixing mine and has ordered one for Grey to look at
2) rehearsal dinner dress - CHECK! Ann Taylor Loft was having a great sale and I just couldn't pass it up. I would link it, but it's no longer available on the website....SOOOOO I guess you'll just have to be surprised! :)
3)Find a sub...CHECK! And she's an awesome sub too!
4)AS for friends...I've only got 5 discs of the 40 left to go! Rachel and Joey just got over being a fling.
5)total pig out session....hasn't happened yet. COME ON!
6) marriage license - DONE! And the woman at the court house was apparently having a brutal day because she was not too friendly towards us.
7) another tattoo? Not yet!
8) I finally took the most amazing bubble bath ever. Kristi ordered me these bath bars that are incredibly bubbly! It felt so wonderful. Holy cow. I was in heaven. Go here and look at the bubble bars and the bath bombs. It's heaven in a bubble wonder. My skin felt so soft and they smelled so good! Thanks Kristi!

Thankful
Yesterday and today have been incredible days. The Lord has shown me that even when I feel alone, there are people who look out for me.
Yesterday, I got the sweetest note from a secretary at Hillcrest just saying that I was in her thoughts and prayers. She is one of the sweetest caring people at that school. She is constantly asking me how I'm doing and how my stress levels are. She is someone who keep me going on a daily basis. I'm thankful for her sweet friendship!
Yesterday, I got invited to the Ms. Owen's class for a Thanksgiving lunch. I have one of her students in my class and I was his special guest. He was super sweet in that he waited for me to get there before he started eating. (Fortunately, the other incredible people there told him that I'd be way late and they convinced him to go ahead and eat.) When I showed up, his class stood up and sang Principal Chamness happy birthday and then they all pulled out pieces of paper. On their piece, they had each written an "I'm thankful for this person because..."
It was amazing. My incredible student told me that I was one of his best friends and that I had made math worthwhile to him. I cried! :) It was incredible. I'm so thankful that the Lord gave me that moment. It's so easy to get caught in the "first year teaching stinks" mentality but when the Lord shows me that I'm impacting just ONE kid, it makes it all worth it.
Today, I was waiting by the mailboxes for the post woman to finish putting the mail in when my old neighbor pulled up in her car. She asked what I was doing for Thanksgiving and then proceeded to tell me that her 10-12 year old son Isaac, was so worried that since I lived by myself, that I would be alone for Thanksgiving. He had begged his mom to call me up and invite me to Thanksgiving with them. I'm so thankful that the Lord has provided a friend for me to have in the apartment complex.
And lastly, I'm so thankful for my amazing family and friends. They have gotten me through a lot, supporting me, encouraging me, and loving me. I would not be who I am without them.
I love you all!
Happy Thanksgiving!

Sisters
I am so blessed to have two beautiful sisters who offer up their wisdom. There are not enough words in the world to describe how blessed I feel on a daily basis to be able to call them mine. I LOVE hanging out with them, spending time with them, laughing with them, fartin around with them...every moment is just wonderful! I LOVE how even though we're 2 and 4 hours apart, I don't feel it at all. I LOVE how as a new bride to be, they're willing to answer all my "I'm too embarrassed to ask anyone else" questions. I LOVE how they're so generous and servant like. I LOVE how when I'm having the most horrible day, they still make me smile. I love love love them.
Kristi and Jen, thank you for putting up with my sassy butt since I'm the youngest one! :)
