End of an Era

This past weekend Josh graduated from UNCC with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. So not only did he graduate but he also accepted a job from Piedmont Natural Gas. It's amazing how we longed for this for the last three years and it all came true within one week. God has definitely had his hand on us for the last three years. There were several times I did not think we would survive but there were also some great times. Now, pay up honey, it's your turn to pay for everything.

I am super excited about the next part. We have decided to start looking for our first home!! We have been crunching some numbers to see what we could afford and what we would like. We probably will not buy until this winter but I am obsessed with real estate now. I am constantly looking and researching. I think Josh is getting tired of my emails. But how fun is this going to be now??? I am more excited about decorating and designing!! So if you see any fun, classic southern design rooms, send 'em my way!

Happy Birthday Alli B!














































Totally Rad 80s

We celebrated Scott's 40th birthday with a surprise 80's birthday party last weekend. Below are some pictures from the night. (Of course there were more, but we dare not mention those...)

40 days


Jesus endured 40 days of trial and tribulation in the wilderness.


I must endure 40 days of stress, Spring fever, testing, and last minute curriculum craming.


Spring Break was such a tease.


If Jesus did it, so can I.

Annoyed

I just became a "fan" of my cousin on Facebook. She deleted me and I can't add her as a friend, much less search for her. So I had to become a fan on her fan page to keep up with her. Before you know it, I'm going to see her on ESPN reporting a game. Then I'll say, "Oh yeah. Glad to see she's let her hair grow out. Looks good." Not to mention the rando texts I get from her. When I respond back, I get nothing in return. Facebook...blog...Skype...text...phone...All these ample opportunities to communicate and I'm limited to my responses from her. Kind of ironic.

Truly Tuesday

Setting: My classroom, 1:00 PM, Social Studies/Reading

Audience: My 21 students plus me

What: P.H. reading from the newspaper (mind you, he's a child that has difficulty making certain letter sounds)

P.H.: "In order to get back at the British, the colonists dumped shiploads of tea into the harbor."
S.D.: "OMG! Perry, do you realize what you just said?"
P.H.: "No.."

Catch: P.H. didn't say shipload. He said another word.

My thoughts: "Yes, you could have phrased it that way. So true."

Made me laugh. Happy Tuesday!
