a couple of updates...

It really seems like this semester has flown by! I can't believe we're already in the 3rd six weeks...(I think in terms of six weeks/semesters, not like the rest of the real world that thinks in months). It's been a great year so far and I just love most things at school right now. I know not everything can be perfect, but I'm just thankful my kids are so wonderful this year. Last year's kids were great too, but just had so much personality that they could be overwhelming. That group was just all around pretty rough on our campus too. This year's kids are fantastic and they make each day great. I'm not worried at all about leaving them with the long-term sub and I'm not worried at all about TAKS...which is what we seem to focus on anyway in the great state of Texas.

Jennie's wedding was this weekend and it was gorgeous! I was honored to be a reader during the ceremony. In front of about 450 people, yes I said 450, it was a rather large wedding, I did get quite nervous. Having to go up there and feel like a whale didn't help the nerves either. But, the ceremony was beautiful and the reception was just fabulous. Great food, music, dancing, decorations and fabulous open bar....no, I didn't partake. Here are a couple pics:




















































On another note, we got maternity pictures done today. I kept going back and forth on whether or not to get them, but finally just decided to do it. Sam didn't really want to get them, but then again, he never wants to take pictures. It was a blast taking them. Cara really made it so much fun and we took a lot of cute/goofy ones. I didn't want a bunch of pics with my bare tummy showing or serious ones, and she did exactly what we wanted. We should have them in about a week!
