Pretty Good!

Forgot to mention earlier that I get to see one of my favorites Reba in concert with George Strait in June. Her performance of her new song on the ACMs reminded me. Speaking of which, I really like the new song, "Strange". Check it out when you get the chance.

Check it Out!!!

This is my first mobile post. Isn't it amazing what we can do with technology. Until next time, love your life!

Have you ever wondered?

Just wondering, have you ever wondered what the people who come up with commercials do all day. I mean WOW... to have a job like that. I imagine they show up to work at about 10. Take a hard earned coffee break (what's a break?) at about 10:30, and of course they probably consumed by hunger by 11, so they GO OUT to lunch (I don't even need to say it)! They are probably back by 12:30. Put in a few hours' work, and then it's off to home by 5. Now that's the life. I know, I know it probably really isn't like that. But...have you ever wondered?

Aaaannnnddddddddd We're Back!

The title says it all. I am back to the blogging world. Since blogger has made it possible to blog from my cell phone by sending text messages I will be able to keep up much easier since I am rarely home. Life is good...trying to survive to the end of the school year. Is is June 5th yet???? I have been sick all weekend, and Jacque was out of town. But I didn't even call and bother her, I just took care of myself and didn't even wine or anything (take that ridiculous "Guys are babies when their sick" stereotype). I am loving being a home owner, I can do what I want to the house whenever I want without asking permission. Well, except maybe Jacque's (it is her house too). I have changed the title as you might have noticed. I am going to be updating with a new song atleast once a week, hopefully more. We are going to be trying a new church in Kaufman that some of Jacque's friends invited us to, I am really excited I hope this is the one for us, we have had trouble finding the right fit. I will be updating more often now, so until next time. Later.

Oh Boy!!

Okay, sorry I know I said I would keep things up to date, but I AM teaching summer school, and it is crazy. I got to go home and see my family this past weekend, and I had a great time. I got to meet my new nephew, Gavin, my cousin Bonnie's son as well, he is an amazing little boy. I will try to post pictures later. I am really excited about being his uncle, Bonnie and I are like brother and sister, so it is only fitting. I am actually going to get to see him again this weekend and go to the zoo. My family is going to get to come visit for about a week.
I have also found a new band that I really like. The name is Chasen, and I have posted a video clip below for their song, "Crazy Beautiful". I hope you enjoy it, because it is currently one of my favorite songs.

Chasen, "Crazy Beautiful" :



My theme song right now probably seems a little strange, but it is "One Step at a Time" by Jordin Sparks. This songs just reminds me that as my beautiful wife and I go through life we must pace ourselves.

"One Step at a Time":

MASSIVE UPDATE!!!!

And we're back! So after a very long self imposed hiatus I have returned to the blog world. I have had quite a few ups and downs since we last talked so here we go.
TAKS Update-- I ended the year with only one student failing the reading test and two failing the Math test. I would have like to say, in case you don't already know, thats amazing for any teacher, let alone a first year teacher such as myself.

Work Update-- After a lot of thought and prayer I have decided to stay in Terrell, I just feel that I have not accomplished everything I want, and am supposed, to do there. We will also be team teaching next year, I will thankfully be teaching just Reading and Language Arts, which is exactly what I wanted to do. I don't know who my parnter is right now, because I have been through three already and the year hasn't even started yet; they keep getting new jobs and leaving. I have also been on the list to teach summer school twice already, and been denied. Not because of me, but because they don't need as many sections as they originally thought.

My family-- My baby sister has her first job, and she chose to keep it in the family, as she is working at the exact same grocery store that I and our sister both worked at. My oldest sister is thriving in college, and helping our cousin who just had a baby. My parents are doing great, my dad is growing a garden so he is officially and old man. As I type this I am in Stockdale, TX visiting my other family, or inlaws if you must. They are doing great and it is really doing Jacque a world of good to see them.

Random update-- I am going back to school as of August 1st. I will be attending Lamar University and earning my Masters in School Administration, and yes that means one day I could be the guy making all the decisions, scary isn't it. I am also getting new lawn mower, hopefully when we get home.

As for life in general, it is great I am very happy and enjoying my hard earned summer vacation. And as for my favorite theme song of the moment here it is...(insert drum roll here) "All I Want to Do" by Sugarland. This song describes how Jacque and I are with one another, and really just makes me think of the days when we have been able to just stay at home and be in love. Until next time, enjoy the song, and love your life.

Update

So sorry it has been so long. I have been crazy busy. Work is going well, it gets hard from time to time, but hey I deal with 8 year olds all day, so if you think it doesn't get difficult you are nuts. Life is pretty good right now. TAKS scores knocked my socks off, lets just say my class did very well. I am most definately ready for summer break to get here. I love 'em but it is definately time. My favorite time of year is here... the time when I can wear flip flops, shorts and a t-shirt, that is when I am not at work. In fact, the kis don't even recogize me when they see me outside of school. I feel like I am finally hitting my stride and can't wait to see what next year holds.
Jacque is doing okay, she has her good days and bad days. We are looking for anything and everything that can help her. Someday we'll find something, until then I just do everything I can to make things easier for her. God is good. Until next time.
