I got my class list..

sweet Jesus help me..my administrators think that I'm superwoman...that or the best teacher in the whole wide world..who wants to tell them that I'm not?

BP Baby!

Only in Rockwall, Texas would we have one of our inservice days at Bass Pro and be able to tie in an educational perspective on "fishing". Yes, go ahead..be very jealous :0)

Happy Birthday Daddy!

I just wanted to wish my daddy a Happy Birthday today! I won't say exactly how old he is, but I will say that he's my hero and the best dad in the world! I love you!

Aubrey

Today one of my "ex" students came by my room and surprised me today! I really hadn't expected to see her until school starts, but I was pleasantly surprised today when she stopped by! She and her mom were asking about the 1st grade teachers, so I showed her her hall and told her about the teachers. Aubrey and I talked about our new haircuts, what we'd been doing this summer, and she showed me all of her teeth that she lost and the new ones that were coming in! I didn't realize how much I missed her until I saw her today. If I could chose one word and one word only to describe Aubrey it would be....precious

it may not seem like a big deal

but it was very exciting to me when:

It was pouring down rain tonight, and I came home, reached for my garage door opener, and opened my garage. I drove inside, got out, and closed the garage. Not even a drop of rain on me!! SO exciting! I now have a brand new garage :0)

Can you smell it?!

I sure can! It's football season and it's right around the corner!! It's my all time favorite time of year~that probably comes from being a coach's daughter and going to football games for the past 24 + years. I love love love it! So, in honor of the Texas Tech Red Raiders, the Lorena Leopards, and the Springer Stallions I have changed my profile for the red, black, and white! Get your guns up!

no words needed

this absolutely makes my heart melt...I can only pray that this will be me one day

don't you just hate it when

couples are so stinking cute? I mean come on! Sometimes it just makes me sick! haha..just playing..

anyways, meet Brandon and Jessica, the engaged couple, very much in love, been dating since high school...pretty much two of the most beautiful people I've ever seen.

so STINKIN cute! really..makes me sick ;0)

Home...

Yes..it's true! I'm officially moved into my new house! It was exhausting and HOT and did I say that it was HOT? I'm pretty sure that the heat index while we were moving was about 107, but hey it's cool-I needed to sweat off some pounds anyway! :0)

I will say that I had a very interesting weekend, and it's not stopped getting interesting..but that's life..and God is good! Thank you Jesus for being amazing and all powerful!

I'm exhausted and quite stinky today from cleaning my old apartment today, so I now am off to take my first ever bath in my new jacuzzi tub! :0) I promise I will write more tomorrow!

Buenos noches!

Cass~this one's for you!

So, at this moment, I'm going through my guest bedroom and sorting through all my crap in my desk and closets (aka throwing crap away). Therefore, I was cleaning out my old backpack, and came across my old college planner..which you can notice is from '03-04..anyways, I'm looking through it all when I notice where I've written "call Cassandra". I don't even remember what I called you for, or if I even called you! I just thought it was awesome that I found that! SO I had to take pictures and show you..they are horrible, but hey-it's the thought that counts right?!

Secondly, I did stumble across the 'ole Phi Lamb phone book..those were the good old days! Just thought you'd like to see your beautiful page again!

Needless to say, I am so happy that we were in Phi Lamb together and that God has brought you back into my life!

Blessings sweet girl~
Chelsey

*sigh*

do you know what I don't like? missing someone and not being able to tell them you miss them ..

I HATE it when

a book has a bad/stupid ending!!! It is definitely one of my pet peeves! I guess it's not as bad as if the whole book was horrible..but I just hate it when good books don't have good endings! I just found and bought the book Ten Thousand Charms by Allison Pittman at Mardel's the other day. If you've read Francine Rivers Reedeeming Love you will like this book. It was a good book and I would recommend it..I would just make up a different ending :0)

The New Casa!

They're finally here (for those of you who have been asking for house pictures)! These of course are before I've moved in, but it just helps to show you what my new house looks like on the inside! Bare with me on the descriptions~I'm still learning how to add pictures and captions!

The New Do!

is a little shorter then I thought it would be, but with the rate my hair grows(about an inch a month) it will be longer in no time! P.S. I have no idea why it's doing this gay underline thing up here..anybody know how to get it off?

Here's the before pic:

Here's the after pic (4.5 inches shorter): curly
straight!
Here's the back so you can see what it looks like~

The Cutting Edge

You know, I love my title.

#1-because it's the name of one my favorite movies,
#2 it's the place where I'm going to get my hair cut tomorrow!

I haven't been able to find a place in Rockwall that I really like, so yes, I still use the one back home. My hairdresser is this cute little Hawaiian lady named Lita, and I'm pretty sure that she never EVER stops talking. However, we have lots of fun when I get my hair done, and she does a fabulous job at a fabulous price for all this head of hair! I've been debating on cutting my hair short again..you know girls when you just get that urge? Well, I've been having it..however, I have always liked my hair longer..and I think other people do also. Anyways, I think I found a solution to my debate. Tomorrow I'm going to cut about 3 inches off so it will look shorter, and I'm also going to add short layers! Therefore, resulting in a new look! I'm very excited! Tomorrow I will post the before and after pics so you can tell me what you think (but please, only nice things allowed ;0)

Ok, now I'm off to bake some brownies because Cassandra's were so enticing! :0)
