Thanksgiving Break

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving and a wonderful break! I love teacher schedules! Wednesday I was home by myself since Jeremy had to work and I was able to do a lot of laundry and do some light cleaning. We also were able to go out to dinner with our good friends Jeremy and Kelsey along with Trevor who was home on leave from Fort Campbell in Kentucky. I'm excited because he is coming home for Christmas and we get to meet his girlfriend! =) Thursday was Thanksgiving and I got up early to make the stuffed mushrooms and green beans. Jeremy went down to his parents house early to deep fry the turkey. It was delicious! I love holiday meals because it is so yummy! We had a pretty quiet day though because it was just Jeremy's parents, his grandma and the two of us. Jeremy fell asleep right after dinner and took one of his marathon long naps so I spent the rest of the afternoon talking to my MIL. It was nice and we were able to figure out Christmas gifts for the nephews. I wish we could see them at Christmas but we couldn't find affordable plane tickets to Texas. Oh well. On Friday Jeremy and his father finished blowing in the insulation for our house. So it is finally insulated! Yeah! =) We woke up early though and went to the Guitar Center and bought a guitar so that I can lead worship for our youth group. I've already learned a few chords. I couldn't play it till last night though because we could not figure out how to tune it! The rest of the weekend was spent working on little projects around the house. I helped Jeremy stack firewood that he split and ended up hurting my back on Saturday. By Sunday though it was fine. Now it's back to work and a full four weeks until my next break! I'm enjoying being with the students again though...they really make me laugh!

Bored

I am very very bored. Right now we are having the evening parent teacher conferences and so far only one of my parent's came. The other one is late. If she does not get here soon I am going to leave. I've been playing games on the internet. I discovered Space Runner again! =) I hate being bored at work. I would much rather be home right now. Sigh. Oh well.

It's been a long time...

Wow the weeks sure do fly by! My life has been good though! This past weekend Jeremy and I went to Bangor Maine for one of my good college friend's wedding. It had been over 2 years since I saw her and another good friend! I'm not going to let that much time go by again! I took an extra day off so I was able to have a four day weekend. It was wonderful! We first stopped at my college roommate's house in southern Maine and was able to spend some time with her and her two little one's. I was so happy to meet her new baby! He is so cute!

Jeremy and I spent two nights in Bangor and were able to go to Acadia National Park on Sunday. It was such a beautiful day. I will have to post pictures but at the top of the mountain it was freezing! My cheeks were stinging because of the wind. I also climbed a 520 ft cliff called the Beehive. For those that do not know I am extremely terrified of heights. When I got through the first ladder rungs I began to panic because I did not want to go through them again. Jeremy said I was hyperventilating but I think I was just breathing deeply. =) He calmed me down and helped me get through the rest. I was very thankful that I lived through it and also that I completed it because the view was amazing!

Here is a picture I found on the internet. It shows how the hike is on the edge of a cliff. Very scary! =) After we returned to the Bed and Breakfast the owners told us that at least 2 people fall every year! I am glad I did not know this before we left!

Speaking of the Bed and Breakfast I am so thankful we were able to stay there and that all the hotels were booked! God is good! We had a wonderful time and ate some delicious food for breakfast.

I love the month of November because I think we only have 1 complete full week of school. This week the students have tomorrow off because of parent/teacher conferences. I only have 3 scheduled for tomorrow so my day is going to be kind of boring. But I'm sure I will get a lot done. Next week we only have 2 days of school and then the last week is actually a full week.

Well I'm off to cover a study hall! Fun fun! I will try to post pictures soon! We have been busy working on our house at night so hopefully tonight I will remember to download them on the computer.
