New Toy

Wes and I finally got with the program and got a new tv. We weren't really wanting to spend all the money that would have to go into getting one but we bit the bullet and did it anyway. Now with our old entertainment center it would only hold a 27" so that meant getting rid of it and getting something else. After looking around for the "perfect" piece we ended up getting a t.v. stand at Wal-Mart. Now you think Wal-Mart...well, this piece of furniture is incredbile!!!! Check out this link: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=7732491 and you will see what we got. The drawers do not have to be in there so that's where we put our DVD player, receiver, etc. Then we bought our towers from a friend that is moving and doesn't have room for them and that match the stand PERFECT!!!! We are so happy with our new purchase and have enjoyed watching it! We went from a 27" to a 42" which is a big increase for our small place. We are having a great new year so far and we hope everyone else is also!!

The excitement of traveling at night!!! :)

Well, we finally made it to Georgia! :) I don't know if some of you remember our drive from the summer when we got pulled over twice getting here. Well, this time we only got pulled over once...so not too bad! :) Last time we got pulled over in LA for driving in the left hand lane when we weren't supposed to and then again in Mississippi for not going the speed limit because the speed limit changes so much Wes missed a sign and so the cop thought we were drinking since we weren't going the speed limit. This time we were about 20 minutes from my parents house and a cop turns around to follow us for a little bit and Wes knew he was about to get pulled over. Sure enough the cop turned on his lights and pulled us over. He came to my window and said that the reason he was pulling us over was because he thought my tint was too dark. I was thinking "You have seriously got to be kidding me". I have had my car for 4 years and got it tinted in GA and have NEVER had a problem before. Anyways...he wanted to test it to see if it was too dark and of course...it was fine. He went on to ask us if we knew where a certain town was in TX and we didn't. He said that a lot of drugs come from that town but we didn't know where it was. He really just wanted to chit chat at 4:30 in the morning so he thought he would think make up something to get us for. He wrote us a warning and said have a Merry Christmas! Oh the joys of traveling at night!!!

SNOW!!!!

We woke up to snow this morning! It has been an extremely cold day....the temperature was in the 30s and the wind chill in the 20s...but it has been beautiful! Here are a few pictures of the snow in College Station, TX!

Great Monday

It's a great Monday when you get to dress comfortably! Two other teachers that I work with and myself decided to wear our outfits that we all have the same...just different colors. We had to take a picture. We wish everyday (or maybe just Mondays) was a dress down day!!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

Happy Halloween Everyone!!!

I hope everyone has had a great day! Boy was it an exciting day at school. Not only was it Halloween...but it was also CRAZY HAIR DAY!!! I didn't do anything crazy with my hair because I didn't want it all crazy when we go out with friends tonight. BUT...the kids had some pretty crazy hairdos!

The picture above is the set-up that my wonderful parents did for our class party!!! The kids LOVED it! They got to paint their own pumpkin and make their own mix of goodies. The kids played "Hot Potato" with a pumpkin and then they worked with groups to wrap one of their group members like a mummy. It was fun for all!

Tonight Wes and I are going to play Laser Tag and Putt Putt with two other couples from our Sunday School class. We are excited!

Field Trip

We went on a field trip today to Texas A&M for a tour. The field trip could have been much better. It's all according to who you get for a tour guide...you would think that tour guides should know there stuff...well...I could have done better than our tour guide and I didn't even go to Texas A&M. Anyways...a wonderful parent of mine made screens to come up on the "Jumbo-Tron" and the ribbons in Kyle Field for our school. The kids loved it!
