September

I have been notified that I need an update! (Thanks Mammie)

Things have been really busy since my last post! I feel like I say that every time, but its true! But now that we have internet at the house maybe a update can some sooner then every other month! Lots of changes in our lives!

First things first...Since August...

I have a new job! I have left Northwestern Mutual and am currently working at Canyon Pointe Elementary as a paraprofessional in the kindergarten structured learning. Its a big change for me, but it is giving me great experience! Working in the business world just wasn't for me so I went and got my alternative cert. Now I am just waiting for the opportunity to get my own classroom and learning alot along the way. Working with kids is where my heart is ,although its exhausting, I love it!

I am continuing to be patient in that God is waiting for the perfect classroom for me! But if your heart desires I could use the prayers!

On the other hand I do miss seeing Jimmy everyday at work! but he is doing great things and I am proud of him! We actually have something else to talk about when we get home besides Northwestern! I do however miss my Northwestern friends!

For all those curious ones out there...here is a picture of my new school! (this is the only one I could find..)

September was a very busy month... We went to 2 Aggie games with the parents and Erin! Ah the joys of going back for an aggie game and actually getting to sit down and enjoy the game :) Erin is really enjoying her first semester at A&M..so proud!

October flew by! Lots of time with friends and family. Lazy weekends with Jimmy, housewarming party's, and traveling!

This past weekend we went home to Lorena for a friends wedding! Jimmy and I had a great time catching up with great friends! We also spent alot of quality time with the Grandparents! Loved the homemade stew!

This weekend is Halloween and we are going to a costume party. Any ideas on what we would be?

August Already

Its already August?..not to mention the end of August... in my dreams I am a teacher right now, this is my second day and I am loving it.....

Back to reality...in reality I am still looking for a teaching job :(

But I remain faithful in knowing that God has a special place for me!

a breakdown of whats new in our lives.... not much :)

Erin moved to A&M this passed weekend! I am praying for her to meet new friends and make great memories. Ah college life...I would give anything to go back to those days....ok maybe not! ok maybe just a little? Moving her in brought back so many memories!

Things we are looking forward to in September
1. The first A&M home football game! tickets purchased check!
2. Me finding a teaching job..(remember I am remaining faithful)
3. Running..(Ok I said it...its out there...YES I have started running! I am doing the whole couch to 5k thing...please keep me accountable! my first 5k could possibly be in October?
4. Labor Day weekend (no plans just hoping to travel home to see family?)
5. Tons of weddings in September! Don't know how we will make it to all of them..we wont be able to, but weddings make me smile...what can I say I am a hopeless romantic?)
6. Our shows returning!!! ah back to routine..Greys, Private Practice, 24, House YES YES YES

September is going to be a GREAT month! I just feel it...

Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.

Great Verses! I am faithful and I am loved!

I shouldnt have waited for a Southwest DING that NEVER came up :( :(

Weekend with the Siegels!

Friday:

We worked late which stinks for a Friday because no one works on Fridays in our office. I was at the office till 5:30 waiting on Jimmy to come and pick me up after his meetings....(we are down to one car right now(working on getting a new tire for the Honda we had an unfix able flat :( ) so by the time he came to pick me up we were starving! so off to a cheap date night...CiCi's and home to cuddle up on the couch and watch a movie!

Saturday:

we slept late of course! quite normal for us :)

Jimmy worked for a little bit..while I enjoyed my guilty pleasure of reality TV...the desperate housewives of Georgia was on all afternoon!

Jimmy and I then headed over to a friends house to babysit! When we got in the car this is what our temp. was...

Houston = HOTT!

Yes Jimmy and I watched 10 kids Saturday night...quite entertaining! and quite exhausting!

Sunday:
Church! (good sermon...ill post my notes on it tomorrow it really touched Jimmy and I)

then home to clean house! We cranked up the music! I tackled the bathrooms while Jimmy cleaned the kitchen! yes I love that I have a husband who will help me clean! Like I have said before I am not the best housewife and a little motivation/help from the hubby is nice!
we have a new addition to the Siegel house this week..we are dog sitting...are Charlie is loving having a friend to play with.. here they are FINALLY sleeping..they played/fought for 2 hours straight!

A Fresh Start!

But today as I got caught up on the many blogs I secretly follow ;) I got inspired to be more of an active blogger!So this is what I am going to attempt to do! So I am going to start all over starting today...
My blog needs a facelift!
