Anniversary!!

Tanner and I celebrated our first year anniversary in Savannah, GA. We had such an amazing weekend. We started by eating breakfast at a small little restaurant off of river street. We than toured the city by carriage. After the carriage ride we walked in the city and stopped at some very interesting shops that lined river street and East bay street. That night we ate an amazing restaurant and took a nightlife cruise through the river. We danced, ate, and enjoyed being alone. On Sunday we spent the morning and the majority of the afternoon at the beach and found an interesting restaurant where we ate lunch before heading home. All in all I would say it was one of the best mini-vacations we have taken. We truly loved spending time away and out of our normal element!

One Year!!!

Our one year anniversary is quickly approaching! There are only four days left until Tanner and I have officially been married one year. I am so excited to celebrate our first year of marriage however, I can not believe it has flown by so quickly... This year has been filled with so many memorable moments. I am truly lucky to have such an amazing husband (hes lucky to have me too) who loves me unconditionally. I am not the easiest person to live with so I consider myself very lucky to have found someone who not only tolerates me but also finds me absolutly hilarious and is patient with me. I married an incredible man and I am greatful for him every single morning when I wake up next to him!

A QUARTER CENTURY OLD!!!! WHAT??? OH, Good Luck with that!!!!

Tanner is officially a quarter of a century old!!! Friday night we cooked out and invited our family over to join us. We had such a great time and I am so greatful that we have such a wonderful family. We spent Sat afternoon riding the boat and enjoying the beautiful weather at the lake with our friends. We then ended the night by cooking out at the lake house and enjoying drinks at the tiki bar!!!! Tanner was ready to go home by midnight!! This proves my point that he is officially O.L.D (but hey old men are sexy)!!!LOL

St.Pat's in 5 points

For the last five years Tanner and I have tried to make it to St. Pat's in five points. Every year something occurs to stop us from going whether it be a birthday party for our nieces (both are born on St. Pat's day) or rainy weather. This year the weather was beautiful and birthday parties postponed a week. We finally made it!!!! I will say I had a lot of fun with my friends who joined and seeing people I haven't seen in years. However, places charging to use the restroom was a bit ridiculous... Things that I learned for next year include green beer is fabulous, Starbucks closes that day in 5 pts, there is a free bathroom at the music store!!! LOL

MMM Good!!!

Today was an extremly crazy day!!! I have been very fortunate this year and was blessed with such a great class. Today, it seemed that almost all of my students had been abducted by aliens... Fortunately, for me, I have an amazing husband, who realized I was having a stressful day and took it upon himself to make dinner for me. I have been on this healthy cooking/healthy lifestyle kick for about two months now and I know it can't be easy for Tanner, who loves anything fried and greasy, but he has been a real tropper!!! Tonights dinner consisted of turkey burgers (not premade or store bought), mushrooms and peppers, sweet potato fries and a nice large glass of water!!! I know Tanner would have preferred to eat regular fries and a big large greasy burger but he made it healthy for ME!!!! This will be added to the list (which I will give him on our 50th wedding anniversary) of the million things I love about him!!!

Oh the joys of living in SC!!!

I would love to say that most of the time I am not a big fan of South Carolina however the last two weekends I have very much become a fan!!! I finally felt like I had an actual winter last weekend when it snowed 7 inches!!! It was absolutly beautiful!!!! Tanner and I had our friends come over we all bundled up in our winter gear and went outside to have the absolute best snowball fight in the history of snowball fights. Britt-no and I made snow angels and I nailed Pot and Tanner with a hundred snowballs. LMAO....Then this weekend it was 66 degrees and sunny!!!! I did some much needed yard work and relaxed... Only in SC can you have two incredibly different weekends in the same month! :)

AHH Christmas Break Where did you go???

The last two weeks have flown by so fast it is ridiculous! I am very glad to have chosen a profession in which I get two weeks off during the holidays and nine weeks off during the summer. However, it would be nice if those weeks went by really really slowly as oppose to flying by. Tomorrow my life goes back to normal. No more sleeping in, playing on the computer, lunch with the pals, etc. Instead my days will now consist of 5:00am wake up calls, packed lunches, and being to exhausted to even look at a computer at the end of the day! AHHH the joys of being a teacher. If you think teachers have it easy because they get off work "early" and have "vacation" please be advised to never make such a comment to a teacher. We don't get out early!!! I spend anywhere from 9-10 hours a day at work and my job is not the type of job where you can just leave and forget it until the next day. I do love my job and I really missed my kids but like anyone else I would not mind another couple days of sleeping in and relaxing.
