wow.

great weekend. quick weekend, but a great one nonetheless.

It all started with friday night football. I watched the Rebels give their hearts on that football field only to come up short in the end. I am absolutely and incredibly proud of them. The roommate went with and hung out with me and Traci as we took pictures on the sideline. There were definitely some much needed fun and laughable times. :)

On saturday I went car shopping. drove a 09 tribute. loved it. absolutely loved it. a lot. :) missed the Texas game to look at/test drive suvs. After grocery shopping and doing some laundry, the most wonderful Adam came over for some friend time. I definitely needed that too. It's always great to hang with him - I am very thankful for him, that's for sure. Also got to talk to Luke from all the way at the Navy Base in Chicago. I am overwhelmingly proud of him and am so blessed to be able to be a part of his time there. It's great hearing about his life there - he's grown up so much. Great talk - but went to bed really late.

Today was spent at church where the Lord reminded me that His power is bigger than anything I face - the economy, my students, life,... Tiffany and I went to lunch at Cheddars and then to a movie with Traci. I cannot tell you the last time I went to a movie. I didn't love the movie (Nights in Rodanthe) but I did enjoy some time out :)

The past few hours have been spent taking a nap, making a test for my 8th graders tomorrow (Fahrenheit 451 part 3), and relaxing with Brothers and Sisters on in the background.

It's been a whirlwind of a weekend - a great one - but a busy one. I'm not sure I'm looking forward to the week (teaching writing stuff to 9th graders, and wrapping up a novel with the 8th graders), but we do get Friday off because of Yamboree. :) Friday will be another Rebel football game and ETBU homecoming on Saturday. :) ....

well i need to get going ...this is very scattered but it's my attempt to update whomever reads this on my life and what's been going on. I am praying for all of you and hope you have an incredible week.

lots of love!! :)
