And this year, I have gotten to know these lovely ladies in first grade (minus Terry and Kristy)!
The funny thing is that of the 9 first grade teachers...4 are having babies!!!! Johnell's sweet Addy was due to arrive 4 weeks AFTER me, but she decided to come at 27 weeks! She is doing wonderful! (You should read her blog http://www.auntjohnnie.blogspot.com/) So, I am due in March, Johnell was due in April, Caron is due in May and now Laura is due in September!)
Angie's classroom is right across the hall from me (she teaches kindergarten). It was so fun to visit with her each day and watch her belly grow. In December, she had Olivia and now gets to stay at home with her until April, when I will be home with Koda!Jen didn't get to make a group shot, so here she is with sweet Kim and Jamie...
the famous cupcake maker! They were delicious!
There was lots of oooing and ahhing when I got to open all the BLUE!!!
I got so many wonderful gifts that we would never be able to just "pick up". So, thank you ladies! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
Mommy and Cami got a pic at the restaurant
The hair is getting a little better...but here is when Chris took me to the Melting Pot before Beauty and the Beast. He told me to make a silly face and then he didn't. Isn't he funny!
Here is another kissing pic...I know this one isn't as good, but I love it!
Then look at that HUNK! WOW!
And then....we were going to be married the next day.
Look at me...so smitten by this man
Well, it is now 9 1/2 years later from the last picture. We definately do not look the same, (especially me being 35 weeks pregnant) and don't think the same about most things. But, I can honestly say I love him more. No, I don't get butterflies and smile everywhere I go, but I know that if anything ever happened to this man I would not want to wake up in the morning. He is who I look forward to seeing every afternoon. The one who knows how to calm me down when I am in one of those moods. The one whose arms I want to escape to when things are crappy. The one who I take for granted until silly holidays pop up and I realize how God gave me more than I knew I could have in a partner. Don't get me wrong, things aren't always rosey here. I mean especailly with me being hormonal and tired...it is amazing he still hugs me. And when money gets tight and the house is a mess, we aren't taking kissing pictures in the kitchen. But, I pray that God keeps us growing closer together and I get to show many more pictures of us for years to come. (Happy Valentine's Day Chris! I love you!)
Here is Cami and her BFF Bella.And then a wet little Cami.
Sorry Chloe, Daddy didn't get you in the snow......but Mommy got you the next night doing something you love....
DANCING AND RAPPING (yes I said rapping!)
So, no, I didn't enjoy the frozen precipation this weekend, but I did enjoy crafts, friends and SLEEPING IN!
Oh, and speaking of friends....
Sunday night I was so excited that I got to spend time with friends I love and never see. We had sushi and fried rice...did you say fried rice? Why, yes, we had fried rice in our bowls, laps, purses and coats!
Can you guess who the fried rice culprit was?
Yes, none other than Betty Apple! Love you Betty :)
