Wonderful News!

I am so glad that I can finally share that we are going to have another baby!!! I am 13 weeks, and Ava's little brother or sister will be here around the end of August! More details coming very soon!

Still Here

Wow! It's been forever. It is for sure time for another post. We have been doing well, just very busy.

We LOVED the beautiful day today! It has just been perfect! We went and ate lunch and then went to Vicksburg. We had a great time! I just wish Spring was here to stay. Oh well, not too much longer!

I will try to post again sooner next time! I hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Congrats!

I just wanted to congratulate my friends, Travis and Elizabeth! They are expecting baby #2 in early August. Elizabeth has been one of my dearest friends since college and we have made a point to stay in touch and still see each other often! I couldn't be happier for them!! :)

Brrr

I know, I know....I have been totally MIA this week. It has been the first week back at school, and we have been busy. We were hoping SO BAD for a snow day Thursday, but it didn't happen. I am ok with it, though, because that means we get out February 15th. I think we'll want it more then than we do now (since we JUST had a long break)!

This cold weather has been too much for me. I am so ready for Spring. I'll be here soon enough though! I hope everyone has a wonderful Saturday!!!

A Few Resolutions

*Live completely off of Keith's salary---Starting today we are going to try our hardest to live completely off of Keith's salary (besides what to pay for Ava's daycare). I would like my income to go completely towards paying off the van/savings.

*Take better care of my house---This is something I have MAJORLY slacked on since I have started back working. When I come home in the afternoons, I am exhausted and I want to spend that precious time playing with Ava. I am going to try my best to do little by little in the house during the week, so I won't be so overwhelmed when it is time to clean up...hope that makes sense. :)

*Take more pictures and videos of Ava-We just got a nice, new camera. We also have a camcorder that we have not used as much as we should. I want to have lots of pictures for Ava to look back on when she grows up. My mom just gave me a scrapbook of me growing up, and I am so glad I have it. I want Ava to have the same thing.

*Learn to use coupons---This is another thing I am going to work hard on doing. Since we are trying to live off of Keith's salary, I will really need to know how to use coupons so we can save as much money as possible.

*Blog More---I have been so busy and have found it hard to find time to blog. That is something I want to do much better on this year. It's nice to be able to look back! I recently read through my blog from the beginning, and I wish I had posted more! :)

*Leave work at 3:00 as much as possible---I will be the first to admit that I don't always leave school at 3:00. A lot of the time I find myself staying late to do some work in my classroom, and I bring a lot of stuff home. Sometimes I have meetings after school, so it is not ALWAYS possible to leave right at 3. The way I look at it is that I don't bring my work from home to school, so why should I bring my schoolwork home. I am going to try really hard to work as hard as possible while I am at school so I do not have to bring any home.

I will let everyone know how my resolutions go! :)
Happy 2010!

Hey Guys!
Wow, I am on a roll! I don't think I have posted this much in a while.
Anyway, I need some followers. If you don't mind, do me a favor and click the "follow" button at the left of this blog if you read my blog at all. I just like to have an idea of who all reads (if anybody at all--haha)!

Thanks in advance for doing this favor for me!

This and That

Just a little update on us.

Ava and I have had such a fun week!!! I have been easily reminded of how much I love being at home with her. We have just been enjoying my last week off before returning to work next week. I had great plans to clean this house top to bottom, and guess what?? None of it has gotten done. :)

Keith's last day of work for this week was today, so we are glad to to have him home with us for the next few days. We don't have any plans for New Year's Eve tomorrow night. I think we are just going to enjoy being home as a family. We'll probably be asleep by 10:30 (we are getting so old).

This weekend we plan on watching the Cotton Bowl--Go Rebels!!! Earlier today, I was kind of wishing we had decided to go, but I think it will be much better watching from the comfort of our home. PLUS, I have to get some planning done for school, so I will probably be doing that while watching the game.

I can't say I am overly excited about returning to work at this point. The break has just been TOO short, and we have had so much fun! I will be fine once I get back into routine, though, and Spring Break will be here before we know it (not to mention the 2 "3 day" weekends we get before that)! We have so many exciting this happening throughout this semester in our family, and I can't wait for all of it! :)

Happy New Year!
