SEVEN DAYS!!!!!!!!
















Well we have hit the count down. Today is the seven day mark till we are homeowners. I am so filled with so many emotions. I am ready but scared. Here are some of the recent picks we took. Doesnt look this way anymore because they cleaned up and are ready for move in!!!

Well school is great. I have great kiddos and I love teaching. Nothing really eventful is happening. I have my fist parent teacher confrence so that will be interesting. I can't wait to have this weekend off. We are starting to pack which is so exciting but closterphobic. We have no where to put all the boxes. With the new bed and the old one taken down we have no kitchen and the family room is full.
Well next weekend we will hopefully have all our family up to move!! That is the best part about it all!! We bought all the paint and we are READY for the move!!

Labor Day...

Ok so this weekend was a three day weekend. I really was not wanting to stay at home for three days. Now that I have my own room and class to take care of, I felt like this monday was a waste. People think I am crazy, and mark my words a few months from now I probably wont feel this way about our days off. Having the house almost done we are saving saving and saving more so really all there is to do is stay at home. What fun is that? There is only so much TV a person can watch. I brought home things to do but its boring when you are at home working on stuff. When I am in my room have that vibe and more motivation to work. Ohwell, only a few more hours left.

Ok so today we did something MAtt and I thought we couldn't. We picked out paint colors. Now to a normaly person this may not seem like such a big deal but it was. IT WAS HUGE!! We have talked about colors for two years now. Before we even thought about buying a house. HE is more of a neutral guy where as I am colorful. So right there tells the story. So finally since Home Depot had a GREAT sale on paint today we bought paint. So that made it real which meant we had to pick colors. We sat down on the floor with EVERY imaginable color and picked them out. IT WAS GREAT!! The only room that we are still not sure about is the dining room. I will try to post the color.

Well we went by the house and they have the cabinets in!!!! We were shocked because that meant they had painted and everything. They are going so fast. I am not sure but they may get done earlier. I can't wait because not only are we moving in all our family is coming up and that will be the first time they are all up here together!! I think I am more excited about that.

Well the first week of school was GREAT!!! I love my class already. I am so attached to so many of those little people. I can't wait to really get to know them and figure them out. I have some where I am sort of stumped by some of their behviors but I have such an amazing team we are already working out some strategies. I can't wait to actually start teaching them the fun things. We are starting the Human Body Kit this week and that is one of my favorite things to teach. I love science in general but this kit is alot of fun to teach. I am so excited abou thtis year, but I know there will be those days where I wont come home feeling this way and I want to prepare myself for those days. I belive that if I cherish these good days and use them to help bring those bads days up I will do just fine. :)
