I am 27 days into the 2010-2011 school year and I am in LOVE with my class! They are 17 smart, funny, darling children who care about being at school every day. I am really looking forward to seeing the progress they will make throughout the next several months. It never ceases to amaze me how much they learn in 180 days!
Bryan is working his first evening shift tonight at Bluffton Regional. I miss him! I am so thankful that he doesn't have to do it often. I am even more thankful that he has a great job that he loves so I am trying to not complain!
I am SO, SO, SO excited for all the new shows coming on this week! Our DVR is probably going to curl up in a ball and cry this week because I don't think it is going to get one teensy break until Friday! Tonight, we're recording Dancing with the Stars (the jury is still out on whether we will actually watch faithfully this season...I'm not a huge fan of any of the "stars") and House. My wonderful husband actually said the words, "It's okay if Monday Night Football doesn't get recorded." I almost died! Ha! Kate Plus 8 and Quints By Surprise are also on the line-up for tonight. Later in the week, we've got Little People, Big World, The Biggest Loser (my fav!), 19 Kids and Counting, The Ultimate Fighter (Bry's pick), Project Runway, and some other miscellaneous shows. I am SO thankful for the DVR so I don't have to feel too guilty about watching this much television. I would gladly give up the internet before I gave up my DVR!!!
I'm looking forward to several fun trips in the next couple of months...Brown County in October with the hubby, South Haven in November with some lifelong friends, and a fun getaway with some girlfriends the first part of December! Bry just said the other day that he's ready to go back to a Sandals. So, St. Lucia, here we come?! Bahamas? Antigua? You name it, I'm there!
Michele and Shane and the kids came over for supper one Friday night. After we ate some pizza, we decided to decorate cookies with the boys! It was really fun.
This boy loves to eat! He is just too precious.
Bryan and I made these pizzas the other night for dinner. They were yummy and reminded us of our favorite pizza from the Sandals Regency in St. Lucia and the Sandals Royal Bahamian...I think I've mentioned that we're ready for a vacation, right? :)
Here's Bryan with the famous pizza in St. Lucia. Our version was almost as good...it's probably the sun, sand, and ocean that makes the difference!
Last weekend, we had a sleepover with the best nephews an aunt and uncle could ask for! Peyton and Zaya came over after work on Friday and we spent some time playing outside before we went out for supper. We ate some pizza at Vinatelli's (have you noticed a theme in these pictures?!) and then went to DQ for some ice cream! The boys slept upstairs at our house for the first time and did AWESOME. They slept all night and Zaya even slept in until 9am! We LOVE these boys.
Last, but not least, is a picture of this gorgeous rainbow that was in our area last night! It was a full rainbow, but I couldn't get a good enough angle to photograph the whole thing. Bry and I are in a time of our life where we are making some decisions about our family, our finances, and other things for our future and it was a wonderful reminder that God is always faithful to us!
