A good weekend and new job

I seem to just live for the weekends since that is when I get to spend time with Jeremy! This past weekend flew by! Friday night one of my good friends was performing at a coffee house and she did such a great job! I wish I could play the guitar and write my own music! Saturday Jeremy and I helped move that same friend and her husband into their new house. It is a really cute house and perfect for a newly married couple. It was great to spend some time with them and just help out where needed. We really do enjoy helping people and it is fun to do it together. The rest of the weekend we just spent relaxing and enjoying each others company....although Jeremy took his marathon naps on both Saturday and Sunday. He naps for at least 4 hours! It's crazy but I know he is exhausted by the end of the week.

Today I started my new job! It is really overwhelming but I know I will like it. Today I finalized the teacher and classroom schedules and will work on finalizing the students schedule tomorrow as well as begin planning for the Back to School Night and the Christian College Fair that is hosted at my school and I'm in charge of. I'm going to be very busy but it is going to be a good busy. I'm looking forward to finally figuring out all that I need to do!

I love my husband!

So for those of you who do not know, Jeremy has been working out of town a lot lately. He was gone all of last week and I missed him terribly. On Friday I was counting down the hours until he would return. At 8 pm he called me to inform me that he was not going to be coming home and had to work on Saturday. Well I decided I could not stand to be by myself another day so I pack up Annie (our dog) and drove 3 1/2 hours to my Mom's house. I decided to have a girls weekend with my Mom, Abby (sister) and Aunt. Well unknown to me Jeremy had called my sister and Mom and I arrived to a bouquet of flowers! The next day we went to my Aunt's house so that Annie could meet her cousin Mokie (my Aunt's dog) and Abby had to run to her friends house. She invited me along but I didn't feel like being social cause I was missing Jeremy. As I was sitting by my Aunt's pool I see Abby coming down the driveway and Jeremy right behind her! He only worked half a day and was able to get a ride close by to where my Mom lives. He was working about an hour south of her. Abby and Jeremy conspired to meet up and surprise me. I still cannot believe my Mom was able to remain quiet and not tell me! It was a wonderful surprise! I love him so much! So we were able to spend some needed quality time together and also see my family! God is so good! I'm so thankful for all of the things He has given me!

New Job!

I am going to be a Guidance Counselor! I am so excited! I just have to meet with the Board on Monday night and then I will be official! I only have a week and a day left at my current job! Woo hoo! It is going to be wonderful to be working in a school again. Thank you for praying for me!

Prayer Request!

I had a job interview last week to be a Guidance Counselor at a school near where I live. Please pray that I get the job! I came back to work today after having 4 days off and it was torture! As soon as I got in the car and headed here I started to get heartburn. It was not a good sign. So please pray that if God wants me to work there that I will here something either today or tomorrow. I really want to give my 2 weeks notice!

I'll also give you a little update to our week off! We did not go out to California as planned because my mom could not travel. So instead Jeremy and I stayed home and were able to see his brother's family from Texas! We had a nice relaxing week of playing with his nephews, sleeping in late, going blueberry picking and eating a lot of good food! It was so nice to be able to spend a lot of time with Jeremy. He's been working out of town lately and I miss seeing him! Hopefully this week will go by fast because I miss him already!

More pictures

Jeremy's brother's family from Texas came up for the week to visit. We both were able to take this week off so we had a great time hanging out with family. Here is a picture of Jeremy and I with our three nephews! They are so cute! They are 3, 2 and 4 months. I wish they lived closer!
As part of a family bonding experience they decided to go shoot some clays with their shotguns. I was talked into trying. Unfortunately I did not hit any of my targets, I don't think I was really aiming though because I was so scared! I had my eyes closed a lot of the time!
Jeremy was a pretty good shot though and hit most of his clays. In this picture is Jeremy's dad to the right and his brother about to "pull" the clay for Jeremy. His sister-in-law is a pretty good shot too....I'm the odd one out here! Oh well! It was fun to watch and even shoot!

Finally some pictures!

These are from 2 weeks ago when Jeremy and I went kayaking on a lake. He was able to fish a little bit and I read a book. We also saw a heron!! It was a really fun day! =)

Crazy week!

This week has been a blur! Once again Jeremy has been working out of town, so I decided to stay at my Grandma's. It was nice to sleep really well again! It would have been better though if I was able to actually spend some time with her. I ended up tutoring 2 kids from our youth group this week for their Global Studies Regents exam and the only time we could all get together was from 8-10 pm. Plus I had my classes this week, only 1 more to go!

Jeremy comes back today! Yeah! But the craziness does not stop! We have his cousin's graduation party tonight and then we are heading to NJ to see his brother, sister-in-law and nephews from Texas. They are coming up here on Monday to visit Jeremy's parents but we are leaving Monday night to go to California. Although that trip is up in the air now because my mom has a bad infection in her foot and cannot fly. So we are trying to figure out if we will go without her or try to all go another time. Please pray for her! She's been getting these pressure sores on her feet because of her wheelchair and it has become very bad. I'm waiting to find out if she has to be hospitalized. Hopefully not because she could catch other types of infections there! I will keep you informed and hopefully post pictures of our travels. Jeremy always takes the camera with him so I never have it! Sorry about that!
