This Thanksgiving

With Thanksgiving right around the corner, I decided I should list all the things I'm thankful for in my life....


~My husband and his continuous love and support

~Mine and Justin's Families, who we miss more and more each day

~My VA Friends

~Growing up in a small town and the values and morals I have because of it (and my parents, of course)

~Emily and Kory....who have made living in Texas a little better

~Whataburger....which also makes living in Texas a little better

~Having taught for 2 years at SDMS....I miss it everyday but having taught there makes me realize there are schools that function better than my current school.

~Having a Job right now when a lot of people don't...even if I hate it at times.

~The 100 students out of my 110 students that make my days fun and enjoyable

~Having money to pay all of our bills and not have to make tough choices each month when it comes to money

~Being educated...and all of the opportunities I have because of it

~The vision of the future that Justin and I share


....I have a lot to be thankful for even if I forget it at times.....

48 Days Until VA

So it's finally November and that means Thanksgiving and Christmas soon. I get a full week off for Thanksgiving......2 1/2 weeks away.....THANK GOD!!! My kids at school are great, but they drive me crazy at times. I am looking forward to a nice long break.....then Christmas is right around the corner. Justin and I are going to be in Virginia Dec 21 - Jan 1.......so let us know if you want to get together. We miss everyone so much and want to spend our time visiting all of our friends and family.

After our Christmas vacation, Justin has to move out to the ranches for the semester. I'm not looking forward to him being gone all the time....but I guess I got to get used to it. I'm sure I will be writing about that later.

I really can't believe we have been in Texas for 5 months.....I am looking forward to these 3 years flying by.....

...OK all for now...More later
