Meeting the Girls

Look at all our tickets!!
Madilyn looked like a crab

Me and the girls


Me and Bryan



So, Saturday was another big day in mine and Bryan's relationship. I was going to meet his two daughters, Madilyn and Cameryn. I am not going to lie, I was a little nervous and scared. I know how kids can be, hello I teach them. Anyways, Bryan came and picked me up at 12:00 and we all headed to Old Charlies for lunch. Those girls and their dad laugh SO much, I love it. Even though I don't know half their jokes, their laughter is contagious. After we ate we headed to Hoop's Alley, to play in the arcade. That was a blast!!!! Man, that's a place where people can just spend tons of money. We raced cars, played air hockey, shot basketballs, you name it, we did it. After that we rented movies and headed back to Jay. I had dinner with Bryan, the girls, his parents and grandma. It just felt like home and I loved every minute of it!!!! I know I am welcomed and loved there. It's a place that I absolutely love. It was the best way to spend a Saturday!!! Next weekend I meet Bryan's brother Jason!!

Spirit of Christmas Picture



Here is my picture from the Spirit of Christmas service.

My First Gift

Go long!!!!
Me likey



Just the other night, Bryan told me that he bought me something. I was like REALLY?! Well, before I tell you what it was, let me back the story up. One night on our way home, we passed a park. I was telling him that I couldn't wait till it got warmer so that we could go to the park and throw a football, and just be active. I was rambling, not even thinking that he was listening to me. Well, turns out he was listening and thought of me b/c he bought me a football. How sweet, right!!!! Now I can't wait till it gets warmer to go use it!!!!!!! Here are pics of my awesome football!!

Can this be true!?!?

Okay I must first warn some of my readers, you might find this cheesy and maybe even nauseating. But it's MY blog, and I will share as I please:) Plus I always believe in sharing God's blessings with friends and family. So with that said, I must share. My past week has honestly been like a dream. I am still pinching myself. Long story short, I have gotten to know an amazing guy named Bryan. We have spent a lot of time together, this past week and have grown very close. I have NEVER EVER met any guy that makes me feel as special as he does. As of last night, it became official, we are now a couple!!!! We have both agreed that God is to be the center of this relationship. Please continue to keep us in your prayers!!!!! Pictures will come one day, no big hurry!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome to Jay

I got my first experience tonight of a little town called Jay. It seriously is little, with only one stop light, a subway, a chinese restaurant, gas station, and grocery store. Oh yeah, can't forget the new Dollar General. HAHA.... I had the pleasure of going with Bryan, to his church tonight, to see his dad being ordained as a Deacon. The very cool part is that his daddy, as he would say, just got saved about a year ago. It's so awesome to see how God answers prayers and changes lives. I felt very special to be able to attend that service with Bryan. Of course, all the people were extremely friendly, just as I would imagine. Jay isn't a bad town at all!!! I think I will go back to visit!

Not really sure

Okay so if you know me, you know that I really don't care for Valentines Day. I think it's a holiday created for couples, therefore leaving everyone else to feel lonely. Why do we need a day to tell someone you love them? We should do that everyday! Anyways, I went to change my background and even thought I am not a fan of the holiday, I really found this one to be cute!

YAY!!!

I am very happy to announce that Erin bought a new wireless router, and I am sitting on the couch, blogging. I have not been able to do that for a long time!!! So I'm very excited!! Last night was a great night. After school, I went for a walk, then did some shopping at Target. Later I went to dinner with Charity,Peter, and Joe. It was great to hang out with good people. Then we went and watched 3:10 to Yuma. I am not a fan of western movies, but this one was really good.
Then I sleep in today, which is the best feeling ever!!!! I got up, headed to my classroom for a few hours of work, then headed home. Once I got home I started cleaning and doing laundry. I am pretty excited about dinner b/c Danny is grilling steaks and vegetables!! Sounds so yummy, I can't wait!!!

Been Awhile

I know, I know, it's been awhile. I am frustrated because our Internet has not been working, so I have not been able to blog like I typically do. I also have started back to work, which has kept me busy. While Christmas break, I got to go to New Orleans for a day. To be honest, I will be okay with just that one visit. It definitely was not my thing! I have some pics from that trip but I will have to wait till my Internet works. I really don't have much more to say, so I'll write later!!
