We Did It!

Hey, Folks,

We dun got married! It was great fun and just a little stressful, but we had a great time seeing everyone. The only major fiasco was everybody leaving after they had consumed their cake and before we got all our pictures taken.

Oh, and that little incident with the minster forgetting to sign our marriage certificate. We got it taken care of, though.

We'll be in Texas on July 4-7th, if you're curious. And now Brian wants me to play his new Wii (early birthday gift), so more later.

P.S. The apartment is great. Life is great. And the sun is always shining here. Really. I mean alot. I am sweating just sitting here:)

Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck

Have you ever known the joy of going to Six Flags? I remember when I went for the first time. I was 5 or 6, and my mom and dad took me. It was great. I had a short set on and tons of energy, and I was ready to go.

Somehow, this exuberance at the mention of Six Flags has changed in the last 20 years. I'm taking my kids to Six Flags today. The fun begins at 7AM on a SATURDAY. Why, why did I sign on for this?!! Six Flags is synonymous with "sunburn" and "dog tired" and "expense" and "having a student get in trouble with security."

Oh, how my innocence has been shattered. Who ever knew Six Flags was gonna be work?

The Poet Laureate of Longview

Kinda cheesy, but this is a little something I wrote (an ode, if you will) when Brian and I were first getting to know each other. Probably right after we met for the first time. Leave comments, if you like it. If you don't, keep it to yourself;) Haha! I love you, Brian.


Weightless

i always thought if I could just:
be thin enough,
make it to the gym one more time,
do another set of crunches,
i would be the me I always wanted...
i would be one of those girls.
when did that change?
oh, right...when you walked in.
love walked in,
and i now i walk without touching the ground...
i am finally weightless.

Our First Place

After much research (mostly on Brian's part) and driving and looking, we have found our first apartment together, Huntington Chase. It's midway between our workplaces and is nice and spacious. Our 3rd floor apartment has vaulted ceilings, 2B&2B, a great patio, plenty of storage, overhead lighting (yeah, I've waited a long time for this!), fitness center, tennis courts, sand volleyball, a car washing center, pool, and probably tons of other stuff I don't know yet. We're really excited, and Brian gets to move in around May 1st (not fair).

50 DAYS!

Everything's Coming Up Roses

It's no secret that life is a series of ups and downs. I have had my share of both, not always completely believing that God is going to bring back up from the depths.

Flash back to the Fall 0f 2005 and then the Fall of 2006. Life was less than great those semesters. Then, Brian came into my life, and things started to change, slowly but surely.

God has continued to take care of me. Today I got a job as the head choral director of Peach County High School in Fort Valley, GA! And to think, I was 20 minutes late for my interview, too (I got lost--Surprise, Surprise!). It's a town of 8,500, and everybody was so friendly. Plus, Brian and I started looking at apartments today. There are some great, affordable places in Warner Robins. I can't wait to put down the deposit tomorrow;)

Everything's falling into place. Crazy that I don't trust Him sometimes, huh?

I'm Leaving on a Jet Plane

So, I'm leaving Thursday 'round 8:00pm to go see B. We both get to leave the Atlanta airport at 11pm and return to our respective quarters at 1am. We're both gonna be draggin'. Brian has Friday work, and I have a job interview at 8am with Peach HS's new principal and existing Asst. Principal Gray.

We are gonna be so tired. THEN... we have apartment appointments (say that 5 times fast).
Fri.
3:00
4:14

Sat.
9:00
10:15

And just think, Brian hasn't scheduled the other 3!!!!!!!

And if Peach doesn't work out, I have a teacher job convention to go to at 1:30 on Saturday.

Oh, yeah, we're gonna have fun. When did we become adults, anyway?
