camping

we went camping with our friends in november. it was really chilly in the morning. we made a pallet in the back of my car and slept there. everyone else had tents but used their air-up mattresses. i bet they were more comfy than we were. we had a great time. jared made all of the boys try to scare the girls but after about an hour we were over it and just ready for them to come back so we could all go to sleep. the sun comes up so early here that we were back at home, showered, and back to sleep in our own beds by 7am the next morning. there is no better sleep than after you've been freezing in the back of your car with a really tall man all night. we love our friends.

I'm going crazy

I need a job soooo bad. If I hear another person say, "I thought special ed. teachers could get a job anywhere," I will flip out. It is so frustrating. It is kind of a surreal feeling. I just thought teaching was pretty good job security. I am out of college but have a college job- very humbling. 40-50 hours a week on your feet is very tough. The housewife idea is sounding better everyday. I don't need a car or cable do I?

Welcome to the south...

the gift that keeps on giving- according to Megan. Jared ref'd at this town and I went with him. Thank goodness for cameras.

The rest of the group.

Costume Party

Our Young Marrieds class had a costume party tonight. Jared and I frantically put stuff together because we didn't think we were going to make it. I actually had all of this stuff - inspired by Jem and the Holograms. We bought Jared's wig. I am 80s, obviously, and he is a washed up football player, not so obviously. We had fun.
