Not Much to Say

Well, I don't know much! Our life has slowed down, but somehow we have filled the time, because we sure don't have any extra time. Although, I will say I did get to scrapbook one night this week! It has been over three weeks since I have done anything scrapbook wise because of this finger! But I went back to the dr. yesterday for my second check-up and he released me! I am still on antibiotic for another week, but no more huge bandage, so I can actually use my hand again! AND I can finally wear my wedding ring!

This weekend we are taking a short trip to the metroplex for a couples shower for Will and Amanda. We are going to go down Friday night and go to Cabellas and then spend the night with my grandparents. Then Sat. we are going to go visit my aunt, uncle, and cousins. My baby cousin just turned one, so we are going to take him his gift!! Then the shower is at 12:30 and as soon as it is over we have to head back to Abilene for the HSU soccer banquet Sat. night! It will be a fast and furious weekend, but I am ready....this week seems like it has been draggin on forever!

So there is the update....not very exciting, that is why I hadn't posted in a while! Hope y'all have a good weekend! I gotta go to recess!

WHEW!

WHEW!!!!! What a LONG two weeks! Spring Break was good! Not much relaxing....but is that really what spring break is for? We had fun visiting friends and family up in the metroplex. We stayed one night with Ally and Jay! Ally, Randi, and I watched Friends DVDs, and Brent and Jay played golf. We also spent one night with Brent's brother. We got to see our old house since they live two doors down. It was fun spending time with Griffin. He is such a 3 year old, and makes me tired just being around him!!!! How do they have so much energy???? We just love him to death, though!!! And it is always so hard leaving cause he wants to come with us, and then he will say "when are you coming back to my house?" Then I spent Sat. doing all the fun bridesmaid's events, while Brent played golf again (this time with Will)!! And then we had the rehearsal and the wedding on Sat. It was absolutely beautiful! Leigh Ann looked gorgeous! It was so special being a part of her big day!!! Everything was so unique and perfect!

Now that this week is almost over, Spring Break seems like a month ago. I wasn't looking forward to coming back, but it is always so refreshing seeing my babies. I don't realize how much I miss them, until I see them again. This week has been a hard week, a very tiring week! Brent's grandmother passed away Sunday, and the funeral was yesterday! This was Brent's last grandparent. I have only had one grandparent pass away, and I know how hard that was. So, please keep him and his family in your prayers as they go through this hard time!

Sorry about the downer!!!! We are looking forward to the weekend, since this week has been one thing on top of another....and soccer is over!!! I don't know if we will know what to do with ourselves. Brent's extended family is all still in town, so we will be spending time with family. Hope you have a great weekend!!! I will post pics of spring break soon....but DEAR timeis over so gotta run!

FINALLY!!!!!

Well, it is finally here! I feel like this week has been going on forever!!! I told Brent this morning (after a full night of dreaming about my class and my students for the third night in a row) that I can't even get away for eight hours. So needless to say this break is much needed!!!!

We aren't going to do anything special! The first part of our break is full of soccer....a team breakfast, Sat. afternoon game, then another team lunch, then another game, all before Tuesday! Brent is working the HSU Soccer Camp until Thursday. Luckily, it is only in the mornings. I actually think he is looking forward to it! (He is the goalkeeper coach for the girls team at HSU.) Then the last part of the break we are headed to the metroplex. It will be a fast and furious trip because there are so many people to see in such little time. The main reason for going is Leigh Ann's wedding. All the festivities will start Saturday morning, so we want to go a little early, like maybe Thursday, so that we can visit with friends and family.

Drew and Lana came in last night. They have already started their spring break (I guess Tech canceled Friday classes) Drew brought an extra load with him. (His dog had puppies and he brought the ones he hasn't sold home with him.) They are so cute!!! Here is one of them!!! They all have puppy breath...and I LOVE puppy breath!

I am really looking forward to just relaxing and doing my scrapbook. I am sure we will be spending some time out at the lake. For those of you who don't know, we bought a small cabin out there last fall....so Brent will fish, and I will scrapbook....it is a nice getaway.

Hope you all have a great weekend!!!

We knew this season would be a hard one coming into this year! But I don't know if you can ever be totally prepared to "rebuild" a program. I have to brag on my hubby and the Lady Eagles!!! Their record and the scoreboards sure don't show a winning team, but they REALLY are becoming one!!! They are finally putting it all together and playing as a team! A GOOD TEAM!!!!

Last night was the second game against Cooper. The outcome didn't turn out the way we would've liked for it too, but the girls played their hearts out!!!! We out shot them 22 - 3. We dominated the WHOLE game, and went into a shoot out and lost!!! After being a goalkeeper's girlfriend all through college....I HATE SHOOTOUTS!!!! They are never fun! And it was especially hard to loose last night in a shootout to Cooper after our girls played such a hard, good game!!!

I am so proud of Brent and the coach he is and the coach he is still becoming. The girls have improved 100%, and I know they are only going to get better! He has two seniors and two juniors, and the rest are all freshman and sophmores.....so his team is young!!!!! They have a long road ahead of them....but I know that in time they will show everyone the true champions that they are!!! They are all winners in my heart!!!!

The Bride To Be

I had a great weekend with my wonderful friend Leigh Ann! I went down Saturday morning (B had a soccer game in San Angelo) for her lingerie shower that afternoon! She got tons of great stuff...and some shady stuff...which I will not mention!!! I have to say that her future husband is one of the most creative men I know! His gift to her was a classic!!! Then after the shower we went out to eat at Chuey's and had some fun for her bachlerette party!!! I enjoyed getting to see some ACU girls I hadn't seen in a while!! All of us married girls chimed in bits and pieces of advice. (the little bit we have) Leigh Ann seemed to have LOTS of fun!!!

Sunday morning I got up and stopped at my grandparents for brunch on the way back to Abilene. They were so sweet to skip church so they could cook for me. It always makes me feel so good to see them and spend time with them! If any of you know my grandmother..... you know she is a MESS!!! You never know what she is going to say or do!

Even though it was a quick trip, I enjoyed every minute! Then when I got home yesterday, Brent and I took a nap, walked our puppies, and had a picnic at the park!!! It was so much fun to just relax and do whatever we wanted! That is a rare for us....especially during soccer season! I had a great weekend and I can't wait until next weekend....because it is SPRING BREAK!!!!

Yeah for Thursday!!!

I guess it is the HOT weather, but the past two days in my classroom have been awful. I have a student that has been to the office twice in two days! This isn't typical of my class. They are usually VERY well behaved and such sweethearts! But it is like they have forgot all the rules, and anything they have ever been taught!!! The past two days, at some point, I have been so mad I was shaking! I honestly don't think I have ever been like that with my students...in all my four years of teaching! We sat down yesterday and had a long talk about the way second graders should act!!! I am hoping today will be a much better day!

This afternoon I am helping throw a baby shower for a teacher friend of mine! She is having a girl....and pink stuff is so cute!!! I hope I have a girl one day! There are five people pregnant here at school! I hope it isn't in the water! Then tonight Brent and I are babysitting our precious nephew, Grayson!!! He is at an age right now that is so bloomin cute! Although as all nephews are, he is great birth control!!!

Well, as we say here at Fannin...."Hope you have a cheetahlicious Thursday!"
