Holes in the Floor of Heaven

A few days before the wedding the forecast began to say there was a possibility of rain. I, of course, freaked out but thinking it was a drought- there wouldn't be any rain. Well, two days before the wedding I was out looking for a locket and I hear "Holes in the Floor of Heaven" and I immediately begin crying and call my mom and say if it rains on our wedding day it is only because our grandpas wish so much they could be there so they are making their presence known...and wouldn't you know it...they all showed up. : )

McTeacher

Never thought I would say this...

but I am off to work at Micky-Dee's for school!! : )

I'll update after my shift at McDonalds!!

10 days

I have now made it through my first 10 days of teaching. Though there have been days where after school I have sat at my desk with my head in my hands crying because of being overwhelmed- I love having my own room. Everyone says you aren't a normal teacher if you don't cry your first year. I am just glad I have gotten my first good cry out. There truly isn't enough hours in the days for everything I need to get done- I am hoping by Christmas to be able to come home before 6 every day- but we will see. I am almost finished with my TPRI testing- I only have three kiddos left to test. So another Monday begins, I am going to try and start centers this week...say a prayer. First graders have the hardest time listening...and they love love love to talk talk talk!!!

The Love of a Lake

This morning I got up and headed over to the boys house (Matt, Jerm & Ty) to head to Lake Conroe to go to Jordans lake house for the day! It was great- there was no drama, no problems, just the girls plus jerm and matt! It was such a fun day! Chelsea was a great pool cleaner! Block had to write a paper by noon for dental school so she was busy at work while Jor and Slice chilled the girls (minus Clegg- who didn't feel well) Chelsea & Kimberly on the tube Jordan & Block on the tube- notice their faces...hahaha

Well Justin had a great day relaxing at home while I had a great day having fun at the lake. I think it is so important and good that Justin and I still have friends we go to without each other, granted I would have loved him come to the lake but it was fun to have some girl time and I am sure he thought it was nice to not have me chatty in his ear all day : ) Now I guess its back to the daily grind...

Aggie Football Round 3

This weekend we did the usual...we got up Saturday morning. Justin went to work, I went to school, worked on lesson plans for this upcoming week and then we both met back at home at 1ish and headed up to campus to tailgate for a little while before going to step off! Typical Daniel & Kevin Kason trying really hard to hold it together...not doing so well Daddy Brad with Avery by the horses... I even ran into a good friend from high school who went to OU- who woulda thought we would run into each other at a Aggie tailgate! We talked for quite awhile and it was good to catch up! Cousin Grayson & Cousin Avery loving on each other Daniel pulled Grayson, Avery and me all the way from Step Off back to the tailgate- it was quite a fun ride..as you tell

Saturday was just another regular day for the Knights- gotta love it!

Mrs. Knight's Jungle

My classroom is obviously finished considering tomorrow is Open House and my 4th day as a First grade teacher so here are some pictures of my Jungle! : ) I was super excited about my nametag- our mascot is a racoon!
You like my tree? The board with zebra says, "Hanging with a GRrReat Book" and I'm getting blow up monkeys to put in the vine and the tiger board says, "We're WILD about Math!"

Aggie Football Round 2

Game two in Aggieland consisted of tailgating, step off and lucky us...the game!!

Daniel & Megan had two extra tickets so we tagged along and went to the game with them! It was a lot of fun! The game was kinda slow but we enjoyed time with our friends, enjoyed living in Aggieland, and of course a Texas Aggie WIN! And of course, as Taylor says, there isn't a weekend without a run in with the cops...JJ that is : )
