Honeymoon :)

Today we went to Going Places Travel in Augusta, GA and finalized our honeymoon plans.




We are staying at Couples Negril in Jamaica. I am super pumped about it!!!!!! We are leaving the Monday after our Wedding for the trip. We are going to go to Atlanta that Sunday and stay there for the night and fly out the next day!!!!! One more thing crossed off my wedding honey do list.

Now its time to think of more important things with my entourage of bridesmaids and friends....the bachelorette party...whomp whomp :)






Merry Christmas to All

Wishing All My Bloggers a Little Merry Post Christmas! I am loving my break from the children but cannot wait to see them next week.... still have to plan but still cannot wait to see them!


But I got a new upgrade of a camera from Santa John. I love the pictures it takes and just love being able to take good fine quality pics. (PS I got it the night before Christmas... :) )

TGIWB

Thank goodness its Winter Break!!!!

I plan on spending my break with a whole lot of nothing. Maybe some wedding planning. But other than that, I don't want to do anything much at all.

Update to all, we did get a really great wedding band. The Appling Road Band is playing at our wedding and then recently played at the Home Extreme Makeover Augusta party with Ty Pennington and the gang!!!!

Mom recently had another surgery to help fix her mastectomy. Her mastectomy had fat necrosis and dead tissue in it from where it never latched. She went back under on Tuesday to have this fixed. Well by Thursday I had heard she is coming home. Well much to any of our surprise she had to go back under the knife to make sure the blood was flowing to the new muscle/tissue. She is still in the hospital as they never closed her up. We are waiting and praying each day that she makes it home. It just stinks to be at the Holidays and having to be in the Hospital. But don't you fret, Lou has her a baby Christmas Tree in the room. Just no stocking lol!!!!! All my blogger readers keep her in your thoughts and prayers so we can get her home FAST!!!!

P.S. John is home for TWO WHOLE WEEKS!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOO HOOOOOO!!!!

I survived my first Christmas Party...

Today I survived my first Winter Celebration (aka Christmas Party) as a teacher. We had TONS of food, ran around like a chicken with my head cut off and enjoyed the craziness. We watched the Polar Express in the morning, iced gingerbread cookies, drank hot chocolate and enjoyed each others company.
By 1:30 when we went to specials at a different time, I was ready for them to leave hyped up on candy and sugar. :)
I am so thankful for my job and my children in my class and remind myself everyday they are the reason why I teach.

Tales of Multiplication Nothing....

My life is consumed with my class, which I love, and also trying to throw together a bomb.com Christmas party that will rock these kids world next Friday.
But for now my life is consumed with grading multiplication quizzes daily. We are working towards a pizza party and what is interesting, is that yes they hate taking them, but when I grade them and see the light bulb turn on when they have missed tons the day before and then make a 100 on that day, i get excited and want to dance for them!!!
As I get ready to fill my classroom with sugar plums and Polar Express filled stuff, I am pretty stoked about PJ day next Friday :). A great way to top off the Holiday Season. All that will be missing will be Casey to come help ring the bell with the children.
Stay Tuned..... Elf on the Shelf updates later this week. :)
