After such a wonderful weekend....it was hard to go back to work Monday! But the last few days have been pretty good! My birthday was yesterday and it was great! One student brought me flowers (wasn't that sweet) and Kyle took me to dinner! I'm glad I got to spend my birthday weekend and my actual birthday with people that care about me!
Now, onto other things....
I'm so happy for Mr. & Mrs. H and the fact that they just got a new house! I cannot wait to see it!
On the other hand, I am so stressed about so many things! I have a lot on my mind on top of everything at school! So much to do and so little time! I feel like I am so behind! Also, I need to find a place to get my master's online that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. I know everything will work out....just gotta believe and keep praying! I'm putting it all in God's hands!

BIRTHDAY PRESENT
So, for the last two years, Kyle has surprised me the weekend before my birthday with a wonderful present!! Last year, he got my BEST friend Lauren and her baby Tripp to come spend the weekend with me!! It was great!! I hardly ever get to see her cause we are so busy and so are they!! She is the one person that I know I can always talk to and count on to be there for me when I need her!! We talk on the phone 3-4 times a week and you would think by the conversations we have that we see each other all the time!! Oh....I forgot to mention that Lauren lied to me and told me that she didn't know anything about my birthday surprise (since i had suspicions that she may have something to do with it)!!!
Well, again, this year he planned a surprise but said it was bigger than last year!! So, I racked my brain for a month to figure out what it was that he could possibly do that was bigger than last year's surprise!! Here it is:
Saturday: Kyle said I would know what the surprise is around 3 pm....of course I am an basket case trying to figure out what it was!! Well, a little before 3, someone knocked on our front door. It was.....LAUREN and JOHN!!! Again, she told me they were not coming, she had no idea what I was talking about this time. And here she was!! I'm never gonna be able to trust her!! Or my husband!!! While we were sitting in the living room talking, I see a car pull up in the driveway. I go to the door and LINDSAY ANN and ERIC are in the driveway!!! She also lied to me and said they were going to his parent's house! We were all just talking and hanging out and talking and then BRITTNEY and BILLY pull up! Remember, Brittney teaches in the classroom next door to me and has kept this all a secret for months!!!
My husband is AMAZING!!! He got the 3 most important people in my life (besides him) to come spend my brithday weekend with me!!! I had so much fun and love them all for coming to see me!!! It was a wonderful surprise and well worth the wait!!

Feel Great!
I feel great about today!! 1) Tomorrow is Friday! 2) I gave blood for the first today! I feel great about that! I love knowing that I could help save someone's life one day! If you have never done it, you should! It was so easy and rewarding to think about saving a life!
On another note, I am so glad the week is almost over! Four day work weeks seem so much longer than five day work weeks! Plus, Kyle has a big surprise planned (so he says) for this weekend to celebrate my birthday! I am so excited to see what that is! I can hardly wait! I'll let y'all know what it is!
Anyway, hope everyone has a great Friday! And a wonderful weekend!
P.S. My sweet husband cooked me a wonderful meal tonight!

JANUARY 19
January 19, 2001 - exactly 9 years ago was when I was hit head on by a drunk driver! I have been through so much since then! Yes, this was an awful thing to happen but it made me realize a few things: 1) God won't give you anything you cannot handle; 2) Be thankful for EVERY thing, EVERY day; 3) I am much stronger than I realized (emotionally); 4) and people truly care about me.
During the last nine years I have accomplished a lot:
Graduated high school, 10 ankle surgeries (2 on left ankle and 8 on right), Joined Alpha Xi Delta at the University of West Georgia and made some of the BEST friends a girl could have, Graduated with my Bachelor's Degree from UWG, become a teacher (I LOVE IT), coached Varsity cheerleading, met the love of my life and gotten married!
I cannot believe that it has been nine years, but when I look back over those years I realize what God has done in my life in that amount of time! I am so blessed to be here and to be loved by the people I am loved by! God is amazing! I look forward to seeing what he has in store for me in the upcoming nine years!

I LOVE long weekends! Especially when I get to spend them with people I love the most!
Friday night, Kyle had a basketball game. His team won! I am so proud of him! He is a wonderful coach and those kids love him! I road with some friends to the game to support my husband! I love sitting in the stands watching him coach....knowing that he is such an amazing person and loves his job - even when people criticize him for the job he does!
Saturday morning, I got up and drove to Athens to see my BEST friend Mrs. LAH! It was so much fun to catch up! We don't see each other much but when we do....we have so much fun together! We went to Wal*mart and got me Wii Fit Plus (which I am so excited about) first! Then we ate at this great Mexican restaurant! We sat and talked about all that has been going on in our lives lately! I am so PROUD of her! She also went to school to become a teacher and this is her first year teaching and she is AMAZING! She is doing such a good job as a fifth grade teacher and I look up to her so much! If I get a job somewhere teaching 5th grade...I know who I am going to call! We also went by her classroom for me to use her Cricut to cut some letters out! Yes, I have one, but I have the first one they created and it is small! I love hers!! I want one so bad! I keep telling Kyle how bad I want one thinking maybe it will help me get it! :) I hated to leave cause I was having so much fun but I was ready to see Kyle! Once I got home, he was working at a basketball game so I broke-in the new Wii Fit Plus!
Sunday was a fun day! I slept late, so we missed church....but we still said our prayers! We took a friends' daughter, one of our flower girls, June Bug to the movies for her birthday! We went to see Alvin and the Chipmunks, The Squeakual! It was very cute! We also got to see Kyle's brother, sister-in-law, nephew and neice! They were at their lake house in Eatonton so we stopped by on the way home from the movie! Kayln and Ginny Grace had a blast playing together! We had not been home long when my cell phone rang....it was Coach H. (our AD - also my principals husband) and they wanted us to go to dinner! We always have so much fun with them! They have been wonderful mentors to us over the last 3 years and we look forward to the years to come!!
Today was a fun husband/wife day! Kyle had his 3rd laser treatment this morning, so off to Macon we went! The treatment didn't take as long as we thought so when he was finished, we went shopping for Kyle some jeans and me some boots! Jeans - check.....Boots - no luck! Oh well, I'll get some one day! We then used our Chili's gift card for lunch (which was very YUMMY!) We then headed home to spend the afternoon together with Sadie! We napped, cleaned the house, played Wii, and just spent time together which is scarce when you are a coach's wife (but I love every minute of it!)
I hope everyone had a great weekend! Have a wonderful 4 day work week!

Brrrrr...........
It is sooooo COLD!!! I know that it is January but I cannot remember it ever being this cold in GA in January!!! I love sweaters and scarves and gloves and hats....BUT I would rather it be a little bit warmer!!!
We did get an extra day off thought which was nice! On Thursday afternoon, our superintendent made the call that we would be closed on Friday (YAY!!!)....we were ALL looking forward to a day off (even though we had only been back 3 days) and for SNOW!!! Well, we got the first wish, a day off but we didn't get any snow! Oh well, maybe another time!
Kyle and I had a great time with family and friends on this long weekend! Not looking forward to this week though because Kyle will be home late 4 of the 5 nights (meeting Monday, games Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday)! But that is the life of a coach and his wife!
Hope everyone stays warm this week!

Wow....It is hard to believe that it is 2010!! There are so many things I am thankful for in 2009 but I am ready and looking forward to what 2010 has in store for me! I cannot believe that Kyle and I have been married for a little over 6 months....it seems like yesterday that we got married!That was the happiest day of my life thus far! I am so happy and excited about what 2010 holds for our relationship....it can only get better!!
Here are some pictures from new year's night:
Before heading out to our New Year's celebration with friends
