1 year later....

Well, just about. My last post was January, 2012. How is that even possible? Well, being a Special Education teacher keeps me quite busy. So, the 2nd semester last year flew by. So did summer. But, boy did I enjoy having the summer off. I spent every day floating in the pool, quite often with a frozen drink in my hand =).

Now we are 2 weeks into the new school year. How do the days go so fast? I'm still teaching at the same school in the same position. Needless to say, I'm always working. I do love my job, so I really don't mind. I have a new classroom this  year-- with windows! I have an amazing group of kids, and an almost completely new team of teachers- whom I absolutely love. It's been a great year so far!

London is a Junior this year. Yes. A Junior. His grades are much better, considering he's taking Spanish and the electives he chose are AP Art History, Psychology, and Sociology. So proud of that boy. He's not driving yet. Hasn't shown must of an interest, but we're doing home school drivers ed. Right now, he just needs to study the manual so that he can take the test to get his permit.

We are still living at Jeff's parents. Will be here until the lease is up in June. We plan on renting another house in Allen at that time. Jeff is working at Wells Fargo Capital Finance. Yes, he finally graduated. We will be moving just in time for our annual Dog Days of Summer party, and hopefully we will have a pool in our new house!

Josh and Stephanie got married on October 27th in Austin. We went down for the small family ceremony and a reception with immediate family and some of their close friends. A large family reception will be help in November, when the come up for Thanksgiving. Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Campbell! Welcome to the family Stephanie, we love you!

I haven't seen ANY of my friends lately, and I can't wait until I have more free time. Miss you all. But, Summer vacation will be here again before I know it! I will upload some pictures so that you can catch up on the last  year of our life!

Lost 14 pounds since January 1st. Feeling pretty good about that. Otherwise, working my rear off. Still stressed and ready for summer vacation.

Saturday, January 7, 2012

What a long 4 day week. 1st week back after vacation. I was feeling pretty good during the week. But, I've got some follow up work to do this weekend, to get ready for this week. Now, I'm yearning for summer vacation! Well, I think it's going to be a good semester all around. Stress is disappearing some. So is the weight. Started counting calories again on Sunday, and I've lost 10 pounds! Blogging my progress daily at my blog 12 Months of 1200 Calorie Days.
