GEEZ LOUISE....

I am not a good blogger... actually I am HORRIBLE!!  I get on here all the time and read what everyone else is up to, but don't take the time to do it myself...

Life is crazy as Fall tennis is finishing up for Tyson and football season is winding down.  Being involved in small town america has been an adjustment and a blast.  We have been attending all the Groesbeck Football games, both in and out of town.  I have loved every minute of it.  Goat Football is continuing into the playoffs this week.  We play Jasper on Friday.  We will be making the trek to Crockett to watch some football action!!

Aggie Football... i mean what else can i say but WHOOP!!! How 'bout them ags?!?!  SO glad we have had a successful first year in the SEC.  We have enjoyed attending the A&M games this season too.  Our seats have been fabulous thanks to THSCA.

In great news...my sister just had her baby last Wednesday.  Another little girl to love on! Chayse Marie is here and healthy.  And she is absolutely precious I might add, even though I may be a little partial :)

This Saturday, the 17th, Tyson and I will be married 5 years!! Can you believe it?? It has gone so quickly.  WOW!!! YAY for anniversaries!!

And we all know that i won't be on here again for a good while, so Happy Thanksgiving and everyone have a very Merry Christmas!!!

24 days....

I DID IT!!! the Advocare 24 day challenge.....

I decided to give it a whirl when I saw my friend, Larry Hooper's results on facebook.  I was like, "okay this really does work, might as well give it a try".  and I am SOOO Glad I did.  I lost 13lbs and 11 inches. I am more excited about the inches than the weight.  To me, weight is just a number and I want to wear a certain sized clothes so the inches matter most.   :)

I loved doing this so much, that I still continue with the Advocare products.  I even have become a distributor because I want to continue it and get the discounts!! :)

If you want to try anything let me know, because I could rattle on and on about all this!!!

Wow....how awful...

It has been almost a year since I posted....I get on here all the time and read other's blogs, but don't write my own.....guess that is what happens for this teacher. No time until summer starts.  Well, summer isn't here just yet, but it will be in 8 school days, but who is counting? :)

Alot has happened this year, and especially in the last few months.  Tyson's boss in Groesbeck is retiring after coaching here for 36 years.  What a proud accomplishment for Jim!!  Since he is retiring, Tyson is the new HEAD tennis coach at Groesbeck High School! I am SO VERY PROUD of him.  This is what he has been wanting. Groesbeck has been to the state tennis tournament for the past 24 years, and Tyson is hoping to keep the streak alive.  In other good news, I am going to be changing jobs, and will be teaching third grade in GROESBECK next year!! YAY!! So excited to be working in the same town we live in.  It is a great district, and just 3 minutes from the house...WHOOP!!

Speaking of houses, now that we will be a more permanent fixture here in Groesbeck, we are in the great debate over what to do about housing.  Rent or buy/build? Rent or buy/build?.....*SIGH*

In other good news, we are surrounded by lots of our friends having babies!! It is so fun to be a part of this part of their lives.  What blessings!! Tyson's friends Lauren and Tod, (Tyson's boss' daughter), just had their frist child, baby boy CJ (Courtney James, named after her sister who was killed over a year ago) just 4 days ago!  He is Tyson's Godson.  We are so very proud and he is perfect!! and the list just continues......... Our friends Josh and Jenny, just had baby #2 in May, his name is Owen!! LOVE this name! I think it is so precious! Matt and Jessi are having baby girl Aevin in July! Cody and Allison are having baby boy C in August/September.  But most exciting (no offense anyone else) is that my sister and her hubby are going to welcome baby #2 in November!!!! WHOOP!! I am so excited to be getting another niece/nephew!  I just love babies!!!

We are just so thankful and blessed by the opportunities being given to us!! I am really getting back into the swing of living in the small town!!
