Anniversary

So Justin and I just celebrated our 2nd Anniversary. We had a great day together. We agreed that we would journey over to the beach and spend some time there......it was great!! We were pretty much alone and just enjoyed being by ourselves. We parked right on the beach and stayed near the Jeep the whole time. So the day started out great. We came back and chatted with Jessi and Kaeleb for awhile on Skype....so it was nice to talk to our family for awhile on our special day.










We went out to dinner to Longhorn Steakhouse, the same one I mentioned earlier. Dinner was great and the company was even better. We then went and saw the movie "The Hangover." It was very funny and very raunchy. I felt embarrassed at times, even though I am plenty old to be watching a Rated R Movie. Anyway, we had an AMAZING day together!!!

First Week in Texas!!!


Picture from the Trip to Texas!!!

Well I've been in Texas a whole week now. I still don't feel like I belong here, it just isn't home yet. Though, I'm not sure it will ever be home. Justin and I have just been hanging out all day and sleeping in...so it feels more like vacation. Justin heads back out to the ranches on the 24th for a few days, so at that time I will be in job search mode. Something will work out, I'm not really worried yet!!!


We've been hanging out by the pool today and now we are playing this new exercise game on the Wii called "Active." Let me tell you, I've never had a workout like this (atleast not from a video game), everything is preplanned and goes at a fast pace. Unlike the Wii Fit, you don't have to sit and decide what to do next. There is a 30 day workout that Justin aCheck Spellingnd I are both doing, you workout 2 days then rest one for 30 days. Then after that there are other preplanned workout or you can create your own. There are some sport workouts included and "dance" ones too. It is a little expensive at $60, but I think it is worthwhile!!!


Daisy is settling in nicely. She was glad to get off the road and I think she is liking her new place. There is a lot to see out the windows and it stays cool in the apartment.

Back to Texas

Well, I'm back in Texas now!! What a long trip, but we made good time!!

In Tennessee we ran into some concept cars being road tested.





We made it to Mississippi and Daisy was glad to be out of her Box.








Here are some other random shots from the trip.

Super Dome in New Orleans, LA (we made a detour to drive down there)

School

Well, firsts things first...only 3 days of school left!!!! But the same thought makes me sad too......some of these students have touched my life in the past two years, and its hard to believe I only get to see them 3 more days. But most of the kids are crazy this time of year and don't want to work at all. I have been super busy lately trying to wrap up classwork, finish grades, and pack up my room. Today we have 8th grade awards and I get to honor 3 girls that have made my life easier here at SDMS. I am also trying to leave my room in good condition for the teacher after me. Life is busy in middle school!!!!

As far as a job for Texas, nothing yet but I'm still hopeful. I have sent out applications for two school districts with openings for Family and Consumer Sciences positions. I know something will work out, I just would like it to be sooner rather than later. But I know there is a plan for this and I need to be patient.

Justin has started working on the ranches in Texas. Cell phone service isn't great at one and not at all at the other. The same goes for Internet Servive. So I may not get to talk to Justin for a couple of weeks......That will be hard. Both of us are ealing with the situation the best we can, and this puts a kink in things. I know there are people who have to deal with more, but this is the first time we've had to deal with something like this.

Ok school is getting ready to start. Have a great day!!!
