Bad Things Happen in 3s

I hate to be so negative but here are a few opportunities for you to pray for (besides my Uncle Bill who is doing better)...
1) Our dear friend Ronnie Gilmore had a bad motorcycle accident. He has several broken bones: legs, ribs, and collar bone. He is in stable condition in Amarillo.
2) A 7 yr old student in my class with severe Autism had an accident at home over the weekend where he got severly burned. 45% of his body was burned and 40% of that was 3rd degree. He will be in the hospital in Augusta, GA for 2 months. He also is in stable condition.
3) A bus traveling to Pensacola today with a bunch of 3rd graders from a school in our town had an accident and flipped. No one died but a lot of adults and kids were injured.

Another negative thing... Teachers are interviewing for my job at school. I was hired without a contract knowing that next year I might not have my job but it is surreal when people are in your classroom observing your position.

Knowing that God is in all of this is comforting to me. I know that He has a plan for all of these people effected by all of this mess and that He will use it to His glory.

Shout Out

Jared is talking to his brother on the phone right now and it reminded me that him and the girls are coming to visit us in July! I am sooooo excited to have them come so we can have some girly excursions. I am in dire need of hanging out with the girls. Oh yeah- my brother and his bride are coming the week before and can't wait to see them either. Lovin' the fam.

My New Hat

 
So cute- I got it at the Fossil outlet.

Spring Break

 

Posted by Picasa


We went to Fairfield Glade, TN for Spring Break and to celebrate our Anniversary. It was very serene. We played golf- I came out of retirement for this event. We both stunk it up but at least we did together. We would actually do fabulous in a scramble. I got to see my favorite horse girl Megan. She lives in Nashville. There was really not a lot to do there so we played on the kiddie rides.

Spring Foliage

 

We went to Tennessee for Spring Break and I took these pictures of the pretty spring blossoms. It actually felt like Fall as we were traveling because it was chilly and there were hardly any leaves on the tress. They did have tons of lilac bushes there and it reminded me of Mamia's- and of course Jessica looting the cemetery on the eve of our wedding per my mother's directions!

Our hotel on Memorial Day weekend.

Our Schedule

We have had a wonderful last few months! Kara and Olivia came to visit. I did not take many pictures because I was too busy using the camcorder. We went to the Gulfarium, picked strawberries, and went to the beach. We had a great time and Olivia got to see her wonderful aunt that misses her like crazy. Next up is a trip to the Destin jetties where we will be diving next Saturday. Afterthat we will head to Panama City with some friends to dive there. I am going to Las Vegas to marry off my friend Hannah while Jared goes home to do his basketball camp. We actually have school until June 6th- teachers until the 9th. I am teaching summer school so I will stay busy when Jared is gone. He is going to Texas, Jamaica, and then to Asia. (No I am not going with him to any of those places.) My vacation will be in Slaton, TEXAS and I can't wait!
