thank goodness for medications....

Well, I am going to actually put up a post with OUT pictures....and really, the only reason is b/c my camera is 'broken' temporarily and (thank goodness for warranties!) is being fixed.

I must say that I love being a teacher, but I am loathing the sicknesses that come along with it. I know its only supposed to be your 'first year' that you get really really sick, but I am definitely sick of being SICK! It would be different if we (as teachers) got to sit at our desks all day and feel miserable, but no, when you're sick-you still have to get up on your 'stage' and act the part-and that is what makes it so terrible to be sick. I hate that part of it. But, like my post says: thank goodness for medications, they are a wonderful thing. I have been taking a LOT of prescriptions and meds since Thur, but I think I am starting to feel their help today. Maybe by tomorrow I will feel more 'normal'. 

This weekend I got to sleep a LOT, and read! I finished the book I had been reading since (don't freak out) July. It was a great book, but I just hadn't been much of a reader until now. One of my New Year's resolutions was to read at LEAST one book a month. So first, I had to finish the one I was 'currently' reading-Mozart's Sister. I finally finished it Thursday night-since I had been sick in bed all evening. Then I started a new book (thanks to my good friend Lauren!) called Redeeming Love. OMW-this is a wonderful book! I can't seem to put it down. It actually made me somewhat happy I was sick b/c I could just lay there (with good reason) and read!! I am half way through it so far and hope to finish it before the month is over.

Anyway, sorry this post has a lot of 'quotes' and (parenthesis)....=0

Hopefully next time I post I will have my camera back=) 

finally!!

OK so I finally figured it out!! I had some weird setting going on on my formatting settings, but now I can happily load pictures without my text looking weird=) I'm sure none of you care (except Jean!=) Thanks to her I figured out where my problem was!

Jordan and his precious little bro Gabe!! About to do some go-cart action=)
Jordan's oldest sister Becca and their sweetie pie-Grace!!
Jordan and his mom!!=)
  (I don't know why all of these are of jordan, but oh well, at least he's pleasing to the eye!=) This is him with his littlest sister-Emma!

Anyway, well pictured above is us with the Landers at the Cheesecake Factory! IT was SOO much fun to get to be with them again. I haven't seen ALL of them together in over a year, so I was very glad to get to spend time with them. They left about a week ago and I probably wont see them for awhile again=(
This is us at Amazing Jake's entertainment place celebrating Jayce and Grace's Bdays (they are the Landers kids-our niece and nephew) They had a nice game of go-carting!
This is such a cute picture of all of them around the animals=) Its: Gabe, Grace, Jayce and Emma
And me and jordan about to go have some laser tag fun!!!=)

I feel so accomplished now. I am glad that my pics will be more organized on here (not that anyone cares...) 

On to other things, I'm also proud that today I learned how to 'layer cut' Jordan's hair! I've been cutting his hair with clippers since we've been married, but today, I ventured out and did a REAL haircut. And honestly-it looks really good!! I'm so proud of myself and Jordan is looking studly.

Also-I want all of you game-lovers out there to know that Jordan and I have been playing Rummikub all week, and I am the reigning champion, yes, you heard it right-I AM BEATING JORDAN. 

I think I'll end on that.
