OK
I'm lame.
I have updated my blog for almost 3 months.
3 MONTHS!!!
Do you realize what has transpired during this time?
***ALOT***
So here I am, and I'll do a quick swing through of life and maybe I'll be a little better at staying up-to-date :)
So let's start with the most important:

Isn't he an adorable boy? He is.
My first nephew -- Matthew Callan Turner (Callan)
Born August 4, 2009 -- 6lbs 4oz and 20in long.
I can't wait to get him in my hands! (they're in Seattle)
And there is also:

Jaden Bradley Cutler
My surrogate nephew! Another precious soul :)
(His mom is Camille - my "sister" who has been my best friend since Kindergarten - so I'm claiming him too!)
Born October 2, 2009 -- 8lbs 5oz and 20in long.
Again -- far away in Indiana. :(
I love babies! :)
So, what have I been doing other than getting excited about my sister-in-law and best friend bringing these beautiful little boys into the world?
Well, I bought this:

And I love it!
Silver 2009 Mazda3 Hatchback
It had 16 miles on it when I bought it.
Now it has almost 3000.
That's what happens when you drive about 50 miles a day!
Why am I driving 50 miles a day?
Because I work here:

Where I teach First Grade.
20 miles there + 20 miles back + other errands = approx. 50 miles/day
I had 28 students, but my . . . challenging . . . student is gone for the time being.
27 6/7 year olds are plenty though!
I love them.
They are exhausting, but I love them!
On Wednesday we went on a field trip to Wheelers Farm.
It was POURING rain.
We were SOAKED!
So we went back to the school early,
ate lunch in our classroom,
played musical chairs for a birthday game,
and watched:

Day well spent! :)
And now, I'm listening to conference (you can watch it here)and enjoying my long weekend.
Life is good :)
