Honeymoon

Our honeymoon was a bigggg success! We had such a blast in Punta Cana! We stayed at the Hard Rock Resort and it was all inclusive. I feel like all we did was eat, drink, and sun!:) I would recommend this resort to everyone. Here are just a few pictures!

So I've been to the Lubbock airport, DFW, and now Miami.... I'm so ready to be in Punta Cana! It is our NEXT stop thankfully!!:)

For those you who know me, I am terrified of flying but this ( see pic below) is helping me stay calm.

I love our honeymoon so far!!:)

2 days!!

2 days until we are here........
in Punta Cana, DR relaxing on the beach celebrating our honeymoon! We are so thrilled to be taking a vacation together as husband and wife! :))))

A year ago today...

Exactly one year ago to this day, Jordan asked me the biggest question of my life. WILL YOU MARRY ME? Of course, I said yes duh!:) I never thought that I be the one getting married, but it happened. The wedding went beyond great. I can't wait to share those pics with y'all!

Here are a few pictures from that great day! Btw J proposed to me at my house in MV in front of the fam. He knew that would mean the most to me and he nailed it. Boy do I love that man!

MV

At the beginning of summer, I took a short trip to Mt. Vernon! It was a nice little break, but more importantly I got to see my babies (Bella, Avery, Ali, Emma,& Ty)! :)

I first picked up Avery who is such a little princess! I kept her for 2 days! She is just a little miracle child!:)

Then I got to go to Emma's 2nd grade end of the year party! Of course Avery had fun too!

Then we went to back to MV. I don't know what it is about sleeping in the house I grew up in but I always sleep so well there! We had a great time!
At mom's, I got to pick potatoes from the garden( Megan you should be proud), watch the kids play on the slip and slide, and hang out with the fam. I loved my time there, but I was ready to get back to my hubby!

End of School..Thankfully!

So I need to back up a little, I have been bad at blogging!! :(

SCHOOL IS OUT FOR SUMMER!! This school year has been the hardest school years that I have ever taught. I know that I have only been teaching for 3 years, but seriously this year was mentally draining and straining.

To start, I got hired in October for a kindergarten position. Prior to starting the job, I met with the Principal who informed me that this class had 3 previous teachers and that I would be the 4th teacher. At this point, I knew that I had it in for me, but little did I know.......

Long story short...for the first two months of working I came home every night crying my eyes out to Jordan about how horrible it was for me. There were many many MANY days that I just wanted to resign and not look back. However, I stuck it out and made it through! Thankfully I had some WONDERFUL teacher friends and an AMAZING husband (and family) to support me through this year.

HONESTLY...although this year was hard, I learned SOO much about being a teacher. Every single one of my students had/has some sort of baggage. Most of them have had a rough life so far and they are only FIVE years old. I cringe when I think about some of the experiences that my babies have undergone. This year, I learned that God created me for some a special reason..to be a TEACHER and to make a difference in some one's life. God placed me in that classroom for a reason!! For most of my kids, I was the ONLY stable person in their life.

"Compassionate teachers fill a void left by working parents who aren't able to devote enough attention to their children. Teachers don't just teach; they can be vital personalities who help young people to mature, to understand the world and to understand themselves. A good education consists of much more than useful facts and marketable skills."
