Relay for Life

Thank you to everybody that donated to Relay for Life. I have posted some pictures of the cape that I made in honor of all my family members and friends that have battled cancer. It was amazing to see the survivor's and the community coming together to raise money to fight this horrific disease. Our school raised over $3000 for cancer research!

We have 3 weeks left of school and then I will have some R & R time by the pool! Brad is still looking for a job and we are waiting for the right door to open up. Daisy is enjoying her time home with Daddy and anxiously waits for mommy to get home from work every day. She has even been sleeping in the bed at night and has become quite the princess.

April Showers bring May Flowers

At least, I am hoping for some beautiful blooms after all of the rain we have had. We have spent a lot of time relaxing, watching movies, and gearing up for the end of the year. I am really going to miss my third graders when it is time for them to go.

Relay for life is in a few weeks and I am preparing for that. If you haven't gotten me names of cancer survivors (or victims) please send them to me ASAP so I can add them to my cape. :) The walk is May 8th and 9th and its not too late to donate to the cause.

We found out a few weeks ago that Sara is having a baby boy in September! We will have nephew number 9!!!

Brad is still looking for a job and we are hopeful that something will turn up soon. In the meantime, we are enjoying our time together and many nights (and days) in the pillow fort!

The first weekend in April!

This week we went to the Rangers vs. Royals game in Arlington. It was hot and windy... can you tell?? These pictures were before the sunburn came. Our friends got free tickets and invited us to the game. We had a blast and decided that we need to hang out with Krissy and Dave more often.
On Friday, I took my kiddos to the park for Fun Friday. They dared me to go down the "bumpy" slide thinking that I would not do it. I am such a cool teacher!

Step 1: A Plan

Ok we have come up with a plan to conquer the latest life change! Brad and I went to lunch today and talked about where we want to go and if we are ready to leave College Station. We have decided that we are going to first, target this area as well as Houston and Austin. Then, we will look into Florida, North Carolina, and Washington, DC. We also talked about him possibly teaching high school in the fall.

I really feel like God brought us here for a reason and another door is going to open up. We have made some great friends here and we really like the area. Keep the process in your prayers that the right door will open. We thank you for your thoughts and prayers!!

Rough Week

This has not been one of the best weeks. I went to the doctor on Wednesday and found out I broke my toe. However, that isn't the worst news. Brad was laid off on Thursday. We are going to begin the job search on Monday and we will keep you updated. Please keep us in your prayers during this time and that doors will open. :)

Cancer is something that has definitely touched our family. In May I will participate in Relay for Life with the "Southwood Valley Superheroes".
