Anniversary

One year ago I had no clue the journey that was about to begin. I knew Cody had a ring but I didn't think it would be that day he would choose to propose. Cody had the ring about four days and was a nervous wreck anytime I was around him. He asked me to marry him in the sweetest, most considerate way after dinner with a few friends. I thought he was about to pass out though (haha). Tonight, we are going to dinner at that spot with 2 of the same people we were there with last year as well as some of our bridal party. After all, our bridal party was our closest friends. While that may sound cheesy, its the truth. Our bridal party were the people that have known Cody AND me since before we were us (minus two people that Cody and I both love that have been added in 1-from a marriage to my friend and 2-college education classes/friendship that has grown over the years). We had a few others we could have added though :)


Today is also two months I have been married to my husband...thank you goes to Cody for believing in me and being there always. I am thankful for you everyday but especially today :) We haven't got a signature on our contract yet for our house but we were promised it would be today. The seller was out of town but fingers are crossed that the 22nd is another lucky day for us :)


Pictures will be coming tomorrow from dinner but in the meantime, hope everyone has a great day.

I never thought the boys would be able to pick me up but I love these boys-I was missing one of my ring bearers in this picture but I love how all the faces are in this picture (minus mine haha)

This is my husband to a T..making faces while the girl are holding him..

Love this man and so happy to be celebrating two months today!

conferences

Today was my first full set of parent conferences! I met with 8 of my 11 scheduled appointments. A few had to be rescheduled. It was nice to catch up with the parents and go over everything from school! My 23 kids are really doing a good job and I enjoyed getting to share this with their parents. We also made some ideas for behavior and spelling skills. If any teachers out there have ideas about fun spelling homework ideas, please share :)

yay!

My mom is here and if that isn't enough to cheer about-I don't know what is! As I posted on Facebook today, I will feel better when my mom is in Horry County and let me tell you, I feel better! Tomorrow is my last day of work for this week. I am so excited for the wedding but I will surely miss my kiddos!

Coco is happy mom is here too!

countdown

Boy is it ever countdown town! I have about 1,000,000 things running through my head and a list of things a mile long...but I keep telling myself 5 days and I will be married to the love of my life! Here is the front of our wedding invite!

Tomorrow is my first field trip with my class. We are all so excited! Plus-my mom will be here tomorrow! WOO HOO!

Relaxing Sunday

Preparing for a crazy week, I decided today would be a lazy day. I read a Nicholas sparks book (the new one: "best of me") and looked at homework and my lessons for tomorrow. I also did my sub plans for Thursday and Friday. I enjoyed it but am so ready for this week too :)

Now I am off to bed after curling up with this love of mine all say!

Date night

Tonight, my fiancé took me out for our last date before we are husband and wife. Not that we won't ever have a date again but it was the last one before our big day :)

We enjoyed chilis and now are settling in to watch transformers 3. I forget the exact name of it. Haha

Btw I am posting this from my new iPhone 4s that my hubby bought me for my wedding gift. I bought him one also :)

Have a great night!

Bachelerotte Party

My bridesmaids took me out for a night of fun at Miyabis!

The Help

I started reading "The Help" a few weeks ago and only got to Chapter 2 before school started. I read it on the way to my parents yesterday and have read some today. Hopefully, I will finish it soon! Its really good!

Anniversary

I started my morning here..

I must admit I was happy to say "Happy anniversary!" not only because of the free biscuit but because I love Chick*fil*A! I am thrilled that Chick has been in NMB for 10 years. I remember when it opened. I called my mom this morning on the way to work to ask her if she remembered this important day in her history. She didn't but I can promise when my parents left NMB, this Chick's business dropped and the one near their house in Cola got a ton more in sales! Thanks Chick*fil*A!

Love it!

This has been a great day. Period. End of story :)

Let me back up to last night. I finished my interims on Friday but was waiting to check my information and make sure I did it correct with one of my teacher friends. After she helped me make sure everything was okay, I submitted my first ever interims! I was excited to get them turned in but I enjoyed doing it..its the little things that count!!

Now today, we went to the contemporary service at our church and then enjoyed lunch at Salsaritas. Afterwards we went on some errands to return a few things and look for our rehearsal dinner outfits. We found Cody a tie and I got a few things at Old Navy for spirit days on Friday :) Then we rushed to my apartment for Cody to settle in and cheer on the Carolina Panthers.

I, meanwhile, went to get my nails done with my friend Anissa and her daughter Caitlyn. Then we ran to Belks and I found my outfit for the rehearsal dinner! We had a great time just catching up. I saw her yesterday but that was the first time in almost 6 weeks.

When I got back to my apartment, I did some work on some smart lessons for Everyday Math then cooked dinner. I made the Salmon stuffed with Crab pinwheels from Dream Dinners. Cody LOVED it! He isn't crazy about Salmon so I didn't know how this was going to go over but YUMMY. It was really good! I have been cleaning and washing clothes and preparing to pack for next weekend while enjoying a movie with my super cute fiancé. I am going to Columbia for the first time since July this weekend. My mom, sister and/or grandparents have been coming here so I haven't been there. I haven't seen my daddy since the beginning of August so I am ready to catch up and get a hug! Cody and I will be loading up to go. While I attend a shower thrown by my mom's friends in Columbia, my fiancé will be playing a round of golf with my daddy.

Sorry for all the information but its been a great day and I just felt like sharing ALL the info!

Got to share at least one picture :)

Thursday..

I must say I love my job but I love my job on Thursdays especially. Why you might ask? Well...its chicken day in Horry County and well by goodness who finds a meal these days for $3 :) It might not be healthy but it sure is YUMMY! haha

Also in school notes..my class finished our benchmark one tests today AND I turned in the results to the curriculum coaches for the school. Its not due until Wednesday of next week so I was happy to have that completed and submitted on time..it might not happen again hehe

I think I just found a house that is HIGHLY being considered for Cody and I to buy. The realtor we have been talking with sent me an email earlier today and I read it when I got home. As soon as I saw it, I fell in love...Cody and I (hopefully) will go look at it this weekend! Then figure out how to buy it haha

I really love this picture of Coco so I will share it again :)
