Jer's Bday (Belated)

To celebrate Jeremy's 27th birthday, we spent the weekend in the mountains of North Carolina.  That Saturday was raining cats and dogs, but we got out once or twice anyway.  Sunday was just beautiful!  It was nice to see Pretty Place, the chapel where we got married in 2007.

For your viewing pleasure...

Things Are Moving Along

The new school year started Monday, and things have really picked up.  So far, I LOVE my class.  For the most part, they all get along, and are all actually friends and play together with organized games and such- a far cry from my last two classes.  Granted, we just finished the third day of school, and I do have 2-3 exceptions to that statement, but still.  Similarly, instead of 27 students, which was what my roster said I should have, I only have 22.  I expect that I might reach 25 by December, just with kids transferring in, but that is only 1-2 more than I had for the most part of last year.  It's amazing what a difference 1 or 2 students makes in a cramped classroom.

My degree from VSU arrived this week.  In a cardboard tube.  I had a Facebook status that read, "I spent $15,000 for a piece of paper in a cardboard tube." Ha.  I will pay myself back over the course of 2 years.  I have 1 more class to take to finish my gifted endorsement, which starts next week I believe.

Jeremy and I had the pleasure of hanging out with some college friends at the Braves game last weekend.  Naturally, the Braves beat the Giants.  :)  (Poor Jer.)
