End of the Year Field Trip

The last week of school, my teacher friend, "Mrs. McComas" and I took our classes to MSU for a day of "college" classes. They went to Art, Music, and Science classes as well as met Bully and my dog, TJ, and played on the Drill Field.

A few of my kids and I with Bully. (Thanks Adam Shields!)
The kids and TJ...He was AMAZINGLY calm with the kids hanging all over him.
Science class. The cars are activated by the sound of the kids' voices and clapping. Lots of fun!
Our "funny" class picture. I miss them!

10 Days in Heaven

After school let out in May, Michael and I were lucky enough to spend 10 days in Destin, FL! How lucky are we! We spent the first half with my family and the second half with his! We had so much fun! Here are a few pics from our time with my family. I have some from the Ketchum family, but they are on Michael's computer at home. Hopefully I will post them later, but I'm making no promises. :)

The coolest grandkids ever!

Aren't they sweet?!?

Nanny and Pa! (Nanny just had a knee replacement last Friday, so if you could remember her in your prayers we would appreciate it.)

We got to play on this thing all day one day. There is a blob on the other side. Stephen (for those of you who don't know him, he is my rather "big" brother) would catapult us all off of it into the water!
Rock Wall. YES! I made it to the top not once, but twice!
Nanny and Pa with their children and children in law.
Mom said if she knew that books would keep us so quiet and occupied, she would have brought them years ago. I read 2.5 books while at the beach!

JOB!!

I don't have a lot of time because Michael is rushing me. We are at the MSU library, but I wanted to let everyone know that Michael has accepted a job in Weatherford, TX which is just outside of Fort Worth. So everything is in place for the big move in July. We really feel like this is where God wants him to be working. We are very excited!

Moving...

So here is the reason I haven't posted since Christmas: we have been "borrowing" the Internet from some people in our apartment complex and they moved. So now we don't have the Internet at home. I am posting from school now.

Anyways, we are moving to Fort Worth, TX, over 4th of July weekend. I will be starting Seminary at SWBTS full time while Michael works. He is currently looking for a job out there in Accounting. He has an interview Tuesday. Please keep that in your prayers. Everything else is in place for the move. I am really excited and nervous all at the same time. I really have never lived away from home. Two years of college were spent in Starkville, and two were spent at home. This past year, we've lived in Starkville, so I see my parents at least once a week. This will be a huge adjustment for my parents and me.

I don't know when the next post will come, but until then.... :)

Christmas with the Ketchums

Mrs. Ketchum's Christmas Pajama Party

My class had a pajama party the last day of school before Christmas. BOY WERE THEY WILD!!! It was the craziest day yet! Thank goodness Michael came to help me out. We had snacks and then watched (or pretended to watch) the Polar Express. The kids brought blankets and pillows to stretch out on. They had a lot of fun! I was exhausted and glad for two weeks off when it was over!

My sweet little angels!

Acting a little crazy...

Thanks!

I need to post a THANKS to Jessica Grabowski for helping me give my blog a face lift! It looks so much better! Thanks Jess!
