This week was one of the best I've had in quite awhile. It actually started last weekend. Kory and Emily came up on Saturday. Emily and I went shopping while Justin and Kory played video games. We hung around the house for awhile then went out to eat at Montana Mike's. We had a great visit with them. Sunday being my cleaning/laundry day, I was doing laundry (in a different laundry room which is nicer and not nearly as crowded) and got a call from Kory wanting us to go to a Gun Show in Robstown. We quickly wrapped up laundry and met Kory and Emily. Emily and I walked around the gun show looking at the jewelry while Justin and Kory looked at the guns. It was so nice to have a female to walk around with and not to mention Emily and I get along great. We have since the day we met. Anyway, we went to dinner at Chili's Sunday Night and then headed back home.
Monday came around too soon (like always), but I had a teacher in-service all day (which is good and bad all in one). I got home early and was generally grateful for the in-service day. Tuesday came around and I had a quiz for my students to take along with make-up work (this makes for a very easy day for a teacher). But Wednesday was probably the easiest day ever for a teacher. The 10th and 11th graders in my school took PSATs during the school day and the other students stayed with their homeroom teachers. I got to babysit my seniors for 4 hours then met with one of my classes (which did nothing). Thursday I actually had to teach something but Friday my classes had a button lab (ie. attach buttons to a piece of fabric). Overall, a great week of school.
The weekend came very quickly (which makes me happy), Justin suggested going on a date. We went and ate dinner at Applebee's and saw "The Invention of Lying." We had a great time together and really liked the movie. Today I had a meeting for DI (Destination Imagination). I am the Team Manager. I have never been the coach before but I did compete for 10 years when I was in school and loved it. I am excited to get started with my team. Afterwards, I went shopping at Stein Mart and Sears. I bought way to much stuff and could have bought tons more. I came home to Justin and his cabin fever but more on that later.
I have been asked over and over about what I wanted for Christmas and I have no idea yet. But when ever I think about Christmas, I think about my Birthday because it isn't to far from Christmas. I started thinking about what I would really want. Justin will be on the ranch and won't be home. I really can buy whatever I want now that I have a real job. Anyway, Spring Break for my school is the week right after my birthday and I couldn't think of anything that I would want more than to spend time at home. So today I purchased plane tickets to go home on March 13 - March 20. I am so happy....I know that I will be home for Christmas but I really miss my friends and family. You know as they say.....You don't know what you got til its gone. I miss everything about VA. Anyway let me know if you want to do something when I come home. Now onto our other big purchase....
I came home to a husband that just wanted to get out of the house. We decided to run to Academy (like Dick's) and the Super Wal-mart. BTW, We never go to Wal-mart anymore because we get all our groceries at HEB (Crazy, Right). Academy is the store Justin always wants to go to but this time we didn't buy anything. We headed to Super Wal-Mart and walked around a bit. We eventually ended up in the photo center and started looking at video cameras. Justin and I had already agreed we were going to buy one for Christmas as our gift to each other. Recently we had even talked about getting one before Christmas so we could make some videos to take home at Christmas. Well today was the day. We got a pretty nice JVC with an internal hard-drive. Justin is very excited and has already started shooting stuff for his first movie. OK that is enough for now. NIGHT from TEXAS!!!
