Time flies....

Lots of things have happened since I started this blog two years ago.. So, I thought I should catch you up.

Allen and I lived in Amory until June of this year. We had a wonderful job where we could work on the same school campus and teach (Allen coached basketball, also). I taught 4th grade language (2011-2012) and then 5th grade reading (2012-2013). That mean I taught the same kids two years in a row. That was an experience. I got to bond with my students very well and enjoyed my time there.

Allen and I had a beautiful baby boy May 24, 2013.I am going to refer to him as Gator. That is his nickname. He is the best thing that could ever had happened to us. We are very blessed. As of today, 8/19/2013, he is 12 weeks old. He is very alert and has been since he was born. I never got the lets sleep all the time baby. Here are some picture of my baby boy.

Most recent.. 3 months old.

 We are thrilled about our new journey. Allen has started a new coaching/teaching job where we are living now; I am staying at home with Gator and getting everything set up to start my graduate degree in Reading Literacy. I can't wait to go back to school! This was my first year since Kindergarten that I have not started school in August. 

I can't wait to update you soon!

Married...

My husband and I got married March 13, 2010. Yes, on the 13th, I am aware of that date and all the superstition behind it and I don't care one bit. Here is a picture of us on our wedding day:

This is one of my favorites. 

We had such a wonderful wedding day and I owe it all to my Mommy! I left all the planning for the wedding up to her. I know this sounds silly and a lot of work for her, but she enjoyed it. If it was up to me I would not have had a wedding, I would have been fine "running away" and getting hitched. We didn't though and it turned out amazing. All I had to do was pick out my beautiful dress and say yes or no to everything thing else. It was a dream. :D Here are some pictures I would like to share with you:

As you could see we did have a wonderful wedding day. With cupcake and puppies included who couldn't had a good day. By the end of it I was more than ready to get the heck out of there and head to the honeymoon in New Orleans. After eating cake, without it being smashed in my face, and trying to drink some punch it was time to leave. I was so happy no one threw birdseed or grits on us, it was just bubbles and a car full of BALLOONS before we left.

And we are living happily ever after.. as of right now! ;P
