you would think....

That I would have more pictures since I have that really nice camera but nope. I haven't taken any. Well things have been crazy here. We went camping last weekend which was GREAT!!! We got to spend the weekend with some great friends! They are really special to us and it was nice to relax and have fun. We are planing two more trips this summer.

Well the EOG's are over!! We did it!! As a third grade we kicked butt!! I had three that didn't pass and the others were about the same. The new teacher to third grade who is a great friend of mine, only had two that didn't pass. It was amazing!! We feel so good about this. AS a school we made great growth!! It is amazng!!!

Well this weekend we had two showings. A bittersweet moment. One of them took a brochure and cd. They even went in the attic. They must have liked it alot. I am hoping if our house does sell that we can do it soon. I don't want to sit around all summer thinking I will be back at Millbrook and then I wont be. It is hard though because I was voted for leadership. I really want to be leadership chair but I can see that might not happen.

So three weeks until the beach!! I can't wait to go to Florida. We are going again and its going to be great! I got two new bathingsuits which again was one of those moments that you wonder how the hell did you get that fat. OK ok I know you have heard this before but I love food. I don't know what to do. I am thinking that I have three weeks to drop ten pounds. You think I can do it? Lets wait and see!!!

Overweight that I am....

Ok so my sister and I have come to the conclusion that at 23 bathing suits SUCK!! I have hit the point in my life that I don't want to wear one. So today I was all about eating right and working out. I am determined to lose ten pounds. Well today was hard. I am HUNGRY!!! I want to eat my arm. It is not like I am starving myself. I have ate my limit and I am still hungry. THIS SUCKS!!! Ok so I went online to see what the best amount of calories to eat and when I googled BMI I put in the info and found out that I am OVERWEIGHT!!! Now I know could lose a few pounds but overweight is a harsh word. I don't want to keep gaining weight but that is what I seem to be doing. I really need to stop but food is so good. I have always been thin except for the past few years. Since I have been married I have gained 20 pounds. THREE YEARS 20 POUNDS!!! So now that I have said it outloud you would think I would want to do something to change it.....I hope to.....So if you see me ask me to put down the snickers and stop with the fried food because I hope to lose these pounds that I have put on since being married. I want to be skinny again. Or at least feel good about myself. So I am off again on this rollercoaster of weight loss. Lets hope that I can pull it off....wish m e luck

Still waiting...

Ok so I haven't posted in awhile hoping that I would have good news and not just the same old but no such luck. We are still waiting on the house to be sold. Right now we have had no bites and everyone says the same things (thanks but the backyard isn't what we want). This week we have someone coming out to do some work to the yard but I still think people aren't going to like it. So the decision is that I will stay in Raleigh and start the school year if our house hasn't sold. Which is a bittersweet moment because I want to stay but I MISS my husband greatly. Today he left for VA and it hit hard that he was leaving for another week. I held it together the past few weeks but today was really hard. As I sit here and type I am sad thinking that he is gone for another week.

Well on a happy note I voted for the first time ever this weekend. Matt and I went out and early voted since he will be gone on Tuesday. It was really exciting to see all the people and to vote for the very first time. I was so happy when I left because I truely felt that I was making history. It will be interesting to see what happens on Tuesday. I truely feel in my heart that the right person will win and that things will start to turn around for our nation. I know that things have been hard in the US and I hope that the new president will be the person to turn it all around. Put aside all feelings and think about the big picture and vote for the person that will take all the politics and put them aside and make a change for this world.

Well school is going really well. We have two weeks till the EOG which is again bittersweet. I want it over but I pray my kids are going to do well. I feel alot better about these kids then the kdis last year. I feel these kids will do better even though they started lower since I know what I am doing now. ALP has really helped this group. I just pray that I don't have to high of expectations for these kids. I really want them to be successful.

Well life is pretty simple these days which is nice. I have not other exciting news. We are just hanging around for the house to sell and for things to be set out for us. We will just have to wait and see what happens.
