School Started!

Can you tell from the lack of posts that I am a first year teacher and school has started! I teach PE and Aerobics at a local middle school and while I have never been more tired in my life, I am having a blast. Seriously this age group is so much fun. So, Sorry for the lack of posts. We do still exist. More updates this weekend I promise!

Do clean kitchens make anyone else happy?

I have just scrubbed every appliance, nook and cranny in my kitchen and am waiting for my freshly moped floors to dry. Ahhh. I almost get giddy when it's this clean. I love it. Scott and I will be having 2 of his guy friends living with us until they get married to in the fall so I'm not sure how clean things will stay, but for now it's great. We are going to re-organize and clean our "fun" room this afternoon and although it will be tedious I am excited for the final product! Happy cleaning or whatever else you are doing this Saturday!

"S" Curve: Enjoying life's rides

When I was a sophomore in college I was feeling gutsy ( and yes there were cute boys watching) and decided to try to snowboard on an "S" shaped rail for the first time. Wow, what a ride and thrill that was just a tad too advanced for me. I ended up tearing most of the ligaments in my lower back and to this day I would say my back is not really the same. Well this weekend I jumped on one of life's little "S" rails and was chewed up and spit back out just like before. Now that the storm has passed and the dust has settled I would say overall I'm doing real good. We are here for that very purpose right? To learn, grow and be challenged and prove what we are made of. And while I am still not quite a pro at those "S" curves, I am learning that I am tough enough to get back on to enjoy the ride.

Only 7 days old!

Thanks to my cousin Julie who inspired me to check out ebay a little closer, I bought a vintage scale. Price: $1.50 Yup. Thats all. Anyways I have been dying to take a picture with it as well as take a picture of a new born. Today I got my wish. This truly was one of the most beautiful babies I have ever seen. Only 7 days old I was just amazed at how alert and happy she was. What a gift!
