I know, I know...its been a month again. I don't have a lot of time, but I promised someone I'd post. Although her posts are much better than mine. ARGH...so another friend is happy in preggoville....I swear. Everywhere I look they're pregnant. I'm not sure how I feel anymore about this whole thing. I mean this month...I know I'm not. Yet I know the anticipation of waiting for the Red Sea is going to kill me...this sucks donkey butt!

I'm going to KC for a graduation. I'll update a life update next week. In one word though it's BUSY!

It's been a while

Wow! It's been a month! Lots has happened...Of course the most exciting and also frustrating thing has been our new baby! We got a Golden Retriever puppy. We named her Sadie. She's been with us two weeks. Eventually we should be able to sleep through the night!

I'm applying for different teaching jobs within the district. I'm trying to get into Kindergarten or First. It is a struggle, but I'm being patient and know that if not this year, maybe next year. I do have a job with preschool still, but I will move to a different school and I'm not sure how I feel about that.

We had a busy weekend. We worked a lot outside, cleaned the cars, the garage, put together our patio swing. We hung plastic in the basement to get it ready to drywall and to prevent Sadie from getting insulation.

This week I have several meetings/classes. It will be another long week. Nick is got an awful cold so he is a little crabby with that. He's trying not to get me sick, says that he doesn't want me to feel like he does...so no kissing....but I miss him.

I really hope it doesn't rain all week, but the clouds have rolled in here, so I have a feeling that is what we are in for. YUCK! I hate mud, so does Sadie!

I'm a wreck right now. It scares the crap out of me to find out if its gonna happen.....or not. I don't want to jinx it. I don't want to think about it, but all I do is think about it. The ONLY time I forget about it is M-F 9-1. I'm involved with preschool and going, going, going. Life would change dramatically, which I'm not sure I'm really ready for, but I know I really am ready for the adventure. I hate the fact that the signs are there, but they could be for something else entirely. That is like a cruel oxymoron. Uggh, maybe soon, I'll know.

Life with you makes perfect sense...

he's my best friend! I've really been focused this past month on how special my relationship with Nick is. He was hand picked for me. We may have a tiff here and there, but in reality there is no one that I would rather be with. He serves me in more ways than I could have ever imagine. We compliment each other so well, tonight was a perfect example. 3 weeks of laundry, because I hate to put it way was piled up on the guest bedroom, plus another 3 loadds from yesterday. I folded it all and he put it all away! Little things like that are what make me treasure him even more. Love you Nick!

Oh What A Weekend

What a crazy and fun weekend! Friday night I went to Omaha and saw some really good friends. Girls that I needed time with, that I hadn't gotten since maybe my wedding! We laughed, we cried, had serious moments, seriously funny moments and just a good time! It was so needed. I almost didn't go, and until I got home on Saturday morning, I didn't realize how much I needed to go. Saturday, Nick and I ran errands. Saturday evening we went to a Bull and Shrimp Feed in Liberty. I had ham! Sunday was a sleep-in morning. Sunday afternoon I went to a bridal fair and then we worked in the garage. I now know the difference between a socket, a drive and a lots of other different tools! Then we went into my parents, saw my nephew Tristan. He looks so good! You would never know that he was a preemie! He is almost standing and he's got squishy puffy cheeks. He is so strong! We had dinner with my family and cherry pie and ice cream for dessert! Then we came home and watched TV and relaxed! This week will be crazy! Nick has a semi of seed coming tomorrow, plus he has to go out to Illinois. He'll be gone until late Wed night/early Thurs. morning. I always miss him when he is gone, but maybe I'll get some things done around the house. Saturday starts 3 weeks in a row for craft shows! Ooh! I can hardly wait!

February

This month has been busy. We had our first dinner party! One of my dear friends is expecting! We went to Kentucky and went to the national farm show and tractor pull. This weekend we have a going away party, a bridal shower and a wedding fair. (So the last two are mine.) We're itching to get outside and get some things done out there. If only the cold weather would go away. I'm ready for chirping birds, green grass, flowers blooming and strawberries! Come Spring, Come!

January

It's hard to believe that its 2008 already. I read somewhere you shouldn't make resolutions, instead you should make a list of things you weren't going to do in the coming year. I've got none of either...

In news, I survived hosting my first Christmas. It went swell. I can definitely wait 300+ days to do it again, thats for sure.

Back to work, trying to come up with creative and fun lesson plans.

My kiddos are coming to my house for an overnight. How fun! I'm actually pretty excited about it, I hope I don't pull my hair out.

Baby fever is escalating. We'll see where that gets us this year....
