Graduation Day...finally!!

I cannot believe it, I am a college graduate with my bachelor's degree!!! I graduated yesterday and spent a fun filled day saying goodbye to friends and hanging out with my family! It still seems un-real that I made it to this point, five years ago it seemed like a far, far reach! With a million boring general classes, interviewing to get into the program, keeping a good gpa, and countless tears it seemed impossible and often I wanted to quit! But as I look back I realize just how much I've grown! I have accomplished more a lot in the past five years than I ever dreamed. I couldn't be more happy with the way my life has turned out! In one of my classes this week I heard this quote and I love it! I can't remember who said it so unfortunately I can't give credit! "you always dream of getting there but once you're there, there's not there anymore!" funny how true that is, now that I graduated I now have different dreams and goals! I am blessed to have such a wonderful family who was always there to push and keep me going! Yahoo i did it!!

Long Time No Post

It has been a long time since I have updated our blog, we have been so busy with school and working! I am still student teaching, actually tomorrow is my last day in my first grade classroom and then I will go to sixth grade. I am very nervous for sixth grade, it will be a very fun and interesting experience for me. Dallas is working hard, the poor guy works more hours in a week than I can even imagine! In fact we cannot even remember the last day that we were able to sleep in together...that makes me sad! :(
Even though we are very busy we still manage save some time for us, and go out on a little date now and again! Valentines day was a very laid back day, we did not want to fight the crowds and so we postponed our celebration for this weekend. But I got a HUGE surprise on Valentines morning!

I have to wake up pretty early to get ready for my school day, I walked into the kitchen to get my breakfast and saw my table beautifully decorated table with a dozen roses and a very funny card...Dallas style! We went to bed kinda late that night but he stayed awake waiting for me to be out....and then got up and got that out. He got to sleep in that morning so seeing my table made it very very hard to leave my Valentine!

Valentines Day at an elementary school is so much fun! The kinds absolutely love bringing gifts for their friends...it is hard to teach them that day, but still so fun! I wish it was my actual classroom cause I would have loved to spend more time on Valentines day. But the kids brought lots of little gifts for me (I wasn't expecting anything) this Easter basket, ignore it, I had to put the treats in something, is filled to the brim of all the little goodies from my students!! This makes teaching totally worth it, teaching is such a hard but rewarding job!
Sorry for the long-time no post! Life has been very busy and eventful, but here is a little glimpse on what has been going on!

Dallas's Christmas Present....Finally!

On January 21st Dallas was finally able to celebrate and use his Christmas gift from me!! I got him tickets to Brian Reagan, one of the first comedians we listened too when we started dating and laughed our HEADS OFF!! The concert was at Abravanel hall and he was so funny!! It was so  nice to go to a place and hear a comedian who makes clean jokes, and it was filled of families of all ages!! It was so much fun to watch and listen to him, I laughed so hard I cried...more than once!!

I couldn't get a video to upload, I'm really sad!! He is so funny I wanted to share!
