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!!
