I am so glad that Ryan finally wrote about me being pregnant, because now I can write about it! We're both very excited! It has been fun telling friends and family. I do have to say though that the Devil has put a lot of discouragements in our path too the past few weeks and I decided that it's just him trying to rob us of our joy and gratitude.
This week I haven't felt the best. I haven't thrown up or anything, but I have just felt bad a lot. It doesn't make it easy to teach when you don't feel good, but again, the Lord sustains me.

Today was the first day of school! It was fun. I didn't feel too good thismorning, but the day got better. My kids are sweet this year, It's nice only having 12. And it was fun to see my old kids too - they're growing up! Tonight I took a nap and then cleaned and did laundry.

School starts tomorrow, and boy am I not ready! I feel like I need another week! I am looking forward to it though even though I'm not really ready. If only I could sleep for a couple days straight......
I only have 12 kids in my class this year, and they seem like sweet kids. I love teaching! It's so fun! My friend Suki is starting out the year as a Kindergarten teacher too, which she wasn't expecting, but it will be fun to share stories this year.
The past few weeks I haven't written many journals, sorry. It's been a whirlwind!! The Lord has been teaching us a lot and encouraging us when we need it the most. We have been through some hard times the past few weeks, but the Lord has blessed us so much, even through the trials! We're thankful!
Saturday we went to a man's house here in Dallas to help him clean it. We got only one room done. It's a big ministry opportunity though, and I am looking forward to the day that we finish cleaning it for him (which may take a few, or a lot of weeks!)

Wow, this weekend has been wonderful! Saturday was a long day at work, but it was great still, and Sunday was so fun too. Saturday night we watched movies with Matt and Sukey. And Sunday was a big day at church. Matt and Christa, the Music Minister and his wife, good friends of ours, are moving to Chicago and this was their last week at church. We had a reception Sunday night. We will miss them!
The Lord is so very good! His Grace and Mercy are overwhelming to me!

Today was a pretty good day. I worked 9 hours, but then I got to come home. I cleaned and finished my Disney Scrapbook! I love finishing things, and it's pretty special when i do finish something because I don't finish things very often. I am a great starter though. Anyways, I finished it! I also got to go to my school today and look at my room, and I got to see a few of my kids from last year. It was so great! And I learned that one of my kids got saved this summer, which made my day!

We sure have been busy having fun lately! This weekend we were going to go to the Arboretum with Matt and Suki, but we ended up going to a lake and having a picnic and playing football! It was so very fun! We played 500, which I had never played before, but it was great! It was fun to be in a little bit of nature. And today we went swimming with our neighbors Brandon and Amanda, and then we went to go see The Borne Ultimatum, which was a fun date! Our dinner was popcorn! Great! We also went running thisafternoon, and all after working a long work day for both of us.
It has really been a great weekend and start to the week!

I learned something mew about Ryan today! He is growing out a beard, which is different, and it's red! He has a red beard! I told him I am going to call him "Red Beard", but he didn't like the idea too much. (Note from Ryan: it's really not "red" - gosh)
Tonight we had so much fun at a large group fellowship with our Sunday School class! We had dinner and played water games! My favorite was the water balloon volleyball! The Lord has blessed us with wonderful friends from church! It was a fun evening! I have the day off tomorrow! Yeah!
