Feelings and Summer

I am feeling a little overwhelmed. But I knew I would feel this way when I had my first classroom. I have been in my room a couple of times but they were quick in "wow" now let's go before I have to do something kind of visits. You see I am one of those people that when I am doing something new or that I am unsure of, don't know what I'm doing, don't know anybody, it takes me forever to get started. Once i get started I am usually fine.....................but getting started is another story. So that's where I am right now. I met with the other First grade teacher today and I like her. But she started talking about stuff that I was unsure of and it scared me. Thank goodness she will be on vacation this next week and then I will be on vacation the next week, so I don't have to face my fear for another two weeks. Every time I think about working in my room or the first day of school I am reminded of the children's book that talks about someone not wanting to go to school, their mom is telling them to get up, get ready, it' fine everyone will like you, and then in the end you find out it's the teacher not wanting to go. I totally agree! I can't remember the name of the book but it's really cute.

I am also the new cheerleading coach and I find the same feelings when thinking about meeting with the girls. It amazes me that I use to have all these feelings when I was in school and I am now 26 years old and am still having the same feelings. I should be over this stuff. That feeling of unsureness and insecurities haunt me to this day. I will push pass them and move on. The question is when?

The house is coming along slowly but surely. We finely got Direct TV yesterday. It only took 3 weeks! I am down to one room to paint, thank goodness, because I am so tired of painting. The man came to measure the kitchen and den floors but nobody has said when they are coming to change them out. Very ready for them to come get it done so I can get the den in order. There are boxes and junk everywhere. I like our house more and more everyday. It has it's own little charm and I love it.

Our summer is going good. Busy but good. We both have a ton of things we have to get done. Being at a new school always brings a ton of work with it, and since I am a first year teacher it brings even more work for me. We are going to visit my mom and grandparents in a couple of weeks. Cory wants to take Amtrak again this year. We took it last year and he loved it. Crazy man! Hope everyone is having a great summer!

I'm baaaaccckkk!!!

Wow, it has been a full past couple of weeks. We are all moved in but I still don't have everything up on the walls or painted. I'm so tired of painting. But I only have two rooms left. Maybe I will get them done this week. The linoleum in the kitchen is getting replaced and the carpet in the den is getting replaced because it smells like dog pee. I am so glad the school is allowing it to be done because it really stinks. I am really liking Summersville so far. It's nice and quiet and the people seem friendly. I'm not thrilled about being far away from Wal-Mart and a big city but I can deal with it. We do have a really good restaurant here called the Hungry Moose. It is soooo yummy! I was impressed actually. They have a really good salad bar, homemade hamburgers, and a yummy buffet on the weekends. Oh and they serve breakfast all day, every day. It is yummy too!

The school board approved me to be the new 1st grade teacher! I'm so excited. I haven't been able to get into my classroom until this week because they were redoing the floors. It is a nice size with a smart board and tons of items for me to use. It's the first classroom on the right, not far from the principals office. Cory said it was so she could keep an eye on me. :) I haven't met the other 1st grade teacher yet but we are having a writing workshop on Thursday so I'm sure I will get to meet her then.

My grandparents were here for the weekend. It was nice to have them here. I wish we lived closer so I could see them more often. Well since I'm wishing, I wish the whole family lived in Indiana really close together so we could get together all the time. It was nice to catch up with them and share some laughs. Trying to teach them the ropes on facebook was not easy. Now if they will only remember and actually get on facebook. We will see.

I went to the obgyn yesterday. I figured he was going to tell me it was time to try invitro since that was what the mentioned last time, but he didn't. Not yet anyway. He basically said we need to keep trying. That eventually everything should line up and I should get pregnant. There is no reason I should not be getting pregnant, except for the scar tissue. He said that were young, my tubes are open and I ovulate. So he thinks eventually it will happen. BUT if nothing happens with in six months to a year we might try another surgery. Actually cutting me open and removing the scar tissue. He said he would put a sheet over my tubes, ovaries and uterus to keep the scar tissue from growing on it. Then if I'm still not pregnant with in a year to two years we might need to do invitro. I am praying that it does not come to another surgery or invitro. Hoping it just happens by itself and soon. I do feel more hopeful though.

Craziness, Scrapbooking and Babies

Wow, crazy is the word for my life right now. It is going way too fast. Packing, party's, cleaning, work, scrapbooking, dentist appointments, car appointments, title issues, dog issues, family issues, and the list goes on and on. I don't know that I have ever been this busy in my life. I am ready to get moved, clean, paint, and get settled. Super excited!!

In the midst of my crazy life right now, I am doing a National Scrapbooking crop this weekend. Starts tonight from 5:00-12:00 and then tomorrow from 9:00-11:00! That's 21 hours of scrapbooking bliss!! Plus I am going with two very close friends! Were all super excited! Hoping I get a lot done because I haven't done any scrapbooking in the past couple of months. Grrrrrr I just haven't been in the mood. Hoping this weekend gets me working and creative.

Big News!! I am going to be an aunt AGAIN!! I am so happy for my SIL Sarah and my brother Daniel. They have been trying for a couple of years now and things finally worked out. I don't know about them, but I am hoping for a girl! Kobi was and is fun but I'm ready to spoil a little girl rotten! Not that I don't spoil Kobi, trust me I do! But there's so much more stuff for little girls. Cute clothes, frilly stuff, bows, shopping trips, and PINK!! Now hoping that I am pregnant too so our kids will be close together. I have always wanted that and jokingly told my SIL a few years back that she had to wait for me. Maybe this is it! ;) I am in the waiting phase..............I HATE the waiting phase! But guess it's good I have a lot to keep me busy right now!

Few and Far Between

I may be few and far between posts here the next couple of weeks. Since we are in the process of moving our schedule is crazy!! This weekend we are doing a garage sale with some friends of ours who are also moving. Cory's parents are coming for lunch and fishing on Sunday, and Sunday night we have our last small group meeting. (the last one WE will be attending) Sniff, sniff....... Monday Cory and I both have dentist appointment. Cory told me last night his tooth is hurting him. Hoping it's just a cavity or something little and not a huge ordeal. Tuesday we are going to Summersville so Cory can meet with the old coach, meet the boys, have an open gym, and I can interview. Wednesday night some friends of ours are having a going away party for us. Friday and Saturday I am going to a National Scrapbooking Crop. Sunday and Monday Cory and I will be at his mom's house. Tuesday is the last day of school. Friday some more friends of ours are having a going away party. In between all of that we have to pack! Thankfully we have been packing everyday this week after school. A little at a time.

OH and someone dropped off 3 puppies and a momma at our house. Neither of us are too happy because we can't take them with us and we can't find anyone to take them. Hoping we get rid of them soon.

I'm so ready to get to the new house so I can clean, paint, and get my house back in order.

Moving!!

So I told you earlier that I would update you on the whole moving thing. Well...............we are moving! I'm super excited, as is my husband! To make a long story short as to why we are moving, my husband is a basketball coach. Enough said! I will tell you that while we have many enemies and have had some rough times here, we also have some pretty amazing friends, church and memories!! I can't believe I am saying this but I am kind of sad we are leaving. We have lived here for five years. I know this place, where everything is, what's good to eat and what's not. Who people are, lots of friends to hang out with, and we love our church. So I guess the sadness is not only because we are leaving such special friends but also the normal. You see, I thrive on normal and comfortable. So this whole moving to where I don't know anybody, where anything is, will they like me kind of thing freaks me out a little. But then I remember the rough times we had and then I'm super excited to get the heck out of dodge!!

I'm in the process of packing right now. It's slow but there isn't really a rush right now. Just thought I would go ahead and get started. We probably won't move until the 2nd week of June. Oh, and another awesome thing about this job is that the school has a house for us. You see, the school built it and then let administrators live in it. A couple of years of ago he/she didn't want it so they let the coach use it. It's just a small 2 bedroom/1 bath house, but that's all we need right now. And IF we get pregnant soon we will still have a room for the baby. Having a house already is amazing because it takes away the stress of finding one! That is always a pain!! We don't want to buy because a coaches job is never forever but trying to find something to rent that is descent and affordable is very hard to find.

Now that my husband has a job, we can move onto finding me one. There a couple of positions here and there so hopefully I can get one of them. I could be looking at starting my first year as a teacher!

Only 2 weeks of school left and then summer, here we come!! I can't wait!!!

A Little Crazy

Ok, ok so things have been a little crazy around here. I haven't had much time to blog. But here I am with a few minutes to spare.

 First of all, Easter has come and gone. We celebrated with a Easter lunch with Cory's family in Corning. Oh my, it was soooo good! I loved getting to watch the girls dye Easter eggs. Made me miss my Kobi man, who I didn't get to dye Easter eggs with. I think this is the first year we missed it. Oh well, I think it was more for me anyway.

Then it rained for about a week straight. We were out of school for a week, which was nice but we now have to go to school for 3 extra days, tacked onto the extra days for missing because of snow. Only three weeks, we can make it! I hope! Back to our flood, we had roads closed, houses flooded (not mine, thank goodness!) roads washed out, tornado watches and warnings. It was not too fun. But we made it through and survived. Thankfully Doniphan was never hit with any actual tornadoes. For once we are all praying for no more rain. Course in a month or two when we haven't had rain since April, we will be wishing we had some. Funny how that happens.

I took a pregnancy test on Tuesday, negative. Started last night. I did not cry. Very proud of myself. But I was secretly praying that I had just taken the test too early and promised myself that if I had not started by Sunday (Mothers Day) I would take one that morning. Glad I started before then because I probably would have cried. It would have been so neat and special to have gotten a positive pregnancy test on Mothers Day! But it will be special on whatever day it comes. I have told myself that it is in God's hands and when He wants it to happen, He will let it happen. I have prayed to Him to hear my plea and beg of Him to grant me my desire. It is in His hands and that is all I can do right now.

On a positive note. We are MOVING!!! Yes I said MOVING!! We are super excited, you have no idea! More on that later!

Just a Quick Note.......

 Just thought I would do a quick post so you would

know I haven't died, gone off the deep end, been blown

away, or drowned. I am still here. We were out all last

week because of the weather, and out early Monday

and out yesterday. So it's been a little crazy.

But it's still crazy so I will have to

fill you in tomorrow. Hopefully......

until then, miss you!
