Summer...

is so very nice! My last day of school was on Thursday. I flew to Fort Worth on Friday morning and returned Monday night. So yesterday and today are the first couple of days I've actually had of my summer when I have been at home and just able to do as I please. I am posting a couple of pics from the weekend. It was a great time! We went to the Colonial Golf Tournament in Fort Worth. It was my first golf tournament experience, and it was really fun.

Happy Memorial Day!

I hope everyone is having a good holiday weekend. We had a great day on Saturday. It's been rainy since then. But we have still managed to enjoy ourselves down here. I was home at the beginning of the month. These pictures are from that weekend. Kylan loves playing with Ellie...it's so cute. Kindra and I went out for yummy sushi in Norman. That is the middle pictures. The bottom one is Kylan and I hanging out. She loves to be in my room with me at my parent's house...Enjoy the rest of the holiday!!!

Hi...and yes, I'm alive...

and doing fantastic!!! I guess I should give an update. I am now divorced...finally, and that feels really good to me right now. But, as most of you know, I haven't been happy with teaching first graders. So I have a brand new, awesome job. Next year, I am teaching early childhood special education. That is 3,4, and 5 year olds. I am sooooooooooooo excited about it and about all the other things in my life that are going well. So, sorry for being a bad blogger. Just had a lot going on, and haven't had time to post lately...

Bethany's Book

So, I am finally getting Bethany's book posted on here. I made it for her sweet little baby, Audrey. It will be in the mail this week, Bethany:) Hope everyone has had a nice weekend., and that you have a good week. I'm going to try to be a better blogger. I've been so bad at it lately.

Hi There...

sorry for being such a terrible blogger lately. I have just been really, really, really busy lately. But today is a snow day...more like an ice day, so I'm taking time to catch up on some things...like my blog:) The dogs aren't enjoying this so much. It's so cold and icy out that I have to drag Ellie, or she won't go. I just want it to slow down. I do not want to be without power down here. Scary! School has already been called off for tomorrow. So we are definitely settled in here for a bit.

I hope that everyone had a nice holiday. I know I did. I was on the go most of the time...Oklahoma, Texas, then Kansas City. I feel like I am finally resettled at home. I did get to go be with Bethany when she had her little girl, Audrey. Our time at the hospital alone was so sweet. I love her and am so very happy for Jeff, Bethany, and now for little Audrey as well.

Hello...

from the lake...

I am having my first snow day, and really enjoying it:) Hope everyone else is having a good day too...

Welcome...

Miss Ellie:)

Ashley and Reese brought Ellie over yesterday afternoon. I am so happy to have her here. I think she and Harley are going to have lots of fun together and be great company for each other. She seems pretty happy so far....she's so tiny and cute:)

For those of you who aren't familiar with Ellie...here's the background. She belonged to my ex-sister-in-law. She and Harley are almost the same age, and have been together since they were puppies. They got Ellie about a year after we got Harley. Anytime either of us needed a dogsitter, we took on that job. Ellie and Harley were together for almost an entire summer two years ago. So lots of my friends and family know her. Ashley has remarried and had a baby, and two more dogs. She didn't feel like Ellie was happy or getting enough love. With three dogs, and the new baby, the dogs were just left in the basement most of the time. So a few weeks ago, she texted and asked if I would be interested in giving Ellie a home if they were to need it. Of course I said yes...and most of my friends/family have said, "if you don't take her, I will". The thought of two dogs did freak me out a little. One is a lot to take care of when you are by yourself. It's hard to find care for them when you leave, travel is tough, etc. But the more I thought about it, the more I knew I would take Ellie. Now Harley will have company during the day when I am at work. Last night one dog snuggled on side of me, and one on the other, and they kept me so warm:) She is just a really cute, tiny, and sweet personality. So welcome home Ellie!
