When I Look at You

Justin is gone again. Story of my life lately. : ( I was on my way home from work and was listening to my CD and this song came on and being that I miss my hubby and that he is the best thing in the world and makes me a better person this song reminded me of him. I like to read it instead of knowing the music or the artist- just read the words.

Everybody needs inspiration
Everybody needs a song
Beautiful melody, when the night's so long

Cause there is no guarantee
That this life is easy
When my world is falling apart
When there's no light to break up the dark
That's when I look at you
When the waves are flooding the shore and I
Can't find my way home anymore
That's when I look at you

When I look at you
I see forgiveness, I see the truth
You love me for who I am
Like the stars hold the moon
Right there where they belong and I know
I'm not alone

When my world is falling apart
When there's no light to break up the dark
That's when I, look at you
When the waves are flooding the shore and I
Can't find my way home anymore
That's when I look at you

You appear just like a dream to me
Just like a kaleidoscope colors that cover me
All I need every breath that I breathe
Don't you know you're beautiful

When the waves are flooding the shore and I
Can't find my way home anymore
That's when I look at you
I look at you
You appear just like a dream to me

Today we have been married 96 days. I could not be happier...well maybe if he didn't leave me for 10 days at a time! : ) I love you Justin Trice!!

Surprise Present!!

So after last night's concert we spent the night at Lissa's, then this morning I got up and drove to Kingwood for the day to get Pippers and say Hello! Mom made a yummy yummy lunch for us, we went through all my winter sweaters, loaded up another car load of my stuff, and looked at wedding pictures! I got on the road shortly after three and when I got home Justin had got me a very exciting present! My car doesn't have keyless entry and my keys sometimes get stuck when its cold and I am always embarrassed because it looks like I am trying to break into my own car but when I got home Justin had gotten me....KEYLESS ENTRY!!! He spent quite awhile outside working on installing it but he can't find some of the wires so he is going to wait and get Kason to help him, I am just so excited!! Thank you baby! xoxoxoxo
P.S. Pip is very happy to be home : )

Decorating Cents!

Elissa's apartment is super cute and yet she has such great decorating cents! She has painted her walls- which add so much personality! Three great websites that she has gotten things from are...

http://www.craigslist.com/ (headboard, tv stand)

http://www.kingwoodyardsales.com/ (silver candle sticks - $1)

And the good ole Ikea!!!

She makes me want to decorate!!

NeedtoBreathe= Breath Taking

Saturday morning I got up and packed up and headed to Houston to spend the day with Lissa and then go to the NeedtoBreathe concert. They are AMAZING! I was supposed to have training in Houston on Friday night and Saturday all day but it was canceled so I was able to actually hang out with elissa. We went to Target and got hair dye and both of us dyed our hair! I had to get rid of my highlights! My roots were sooo bad! We had fun doing that together! And of course Sprinkles, her puppy wasn't far from us the whole time!

I love this picture! Emily thinks she looks just like a head popping out of the wall but I love it! I just love my cousins!

Those sisters take forever to get ready....Getting ready to leave...Cousins/Best FriendsMy awesome hair- Emily is amazing...doesn't that look super cute?!SistersMe & EmLissa & Me This photo is just priceless...the story behind this photo...well you just had to be there : ) We left after these pictures and of course, I wasn't able to bring the camera to the concert unless I had a press pass so we didn't get any pictures at the concert but a few on our phones because Elissa thought she had her camera and she did...just no memory card. They are sooo good! We had so much fun! I love them!

This is a video of Washed by the Water live. Oh I just love them! They are labeled "Alternative" but most of their songs have a christian influence. They have a few on KSBJ but then also one of their songs was in P.S. I love you--- the movie! Anyways, loved them! I want to buy all their albums now! : )

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!!!
