Wedding Weekend

We had such a great time at Staci and Tim's wedding weekend. Staci was such a beautiful bride! I took a lot of pictures so let me know if you want me to email you the album. I included a few here...

Leaving...

Bittersweet Good-bye!

Today was the kids last day at my school. Although it is always a welcomed day, it was really sad having to say good-bye to my kids and know that I will not be seeing them when they return to school in August. I have had 4 great years at Chattahoochee and it is even harder to say bye to some of my co-workers. Post planning starts tomorrow, so I do have another day to choke back the tears...


For all of those who have heard me talk about Lynn... here she is! She is seriously my "work mom" and has taken care of me and taught me soooo much over the years!! I don't know how I am going to make it without her!


This is one of the funniest people I have ever met, Shewanne. She is one of the special ed teachers. Her class actually got moved from my school last year. I didn't think I was going to make it without her, but luckily she stays in touch!


I just had to throw in one picture of some of the kids. This is a first grade class that I do inclusion with. Terry is the teacher and she is awesome! She has been wonderful by taking my kids every year and letting me come into her class to work with everyone!


At bus dismissal today, the ladies on my hall had a limbo line going... music and everything. They made all the kids go under the limbo stick on the way to the buses. Our hallway was certainly the most fun!

Mother's Day

Sorry that I am a little bit behind on my posting! We have had quite the last few weeks. The kids last day at my school is this Wednesday, so I have been extremely busy finishing up last minute paperwork and meetings. Stephen and I got an offer on our house and we are now "under contract!" Pending the inspection on Tuesday, we are set to close around June 27th! We don't yet have a house in Valdosta so the poor Lincoln's are going to have to make room for us in the meantime!

We were in West Point for Mother's Day. The whole family was there to celebrate.

Staci's Bachelorette Party

We had a great time at Staci's bachelorette weekend. Beach...eating...drinking...naps...shopping...more drinking...some dancing....awesome weekend!

Exciting News!!!

Parker and Julee got engaged on Friday! We are all so excited. They are looking to have the wedding in November. They really wanted a short engagement (wise decision!) I haven't even gotten to see the ring yet, but hear it is beautiful of course!

Nothing new going on in Atlanta. We had another open house on Sunday. We had some positive feedback, but still no offers. We are hanging in there and praying for something to happen soon. I have gotten some new job prospects so that has been exciting (and a little nerve racking!)

I am off to Destin this weekend for Staci's bachelorette weekend. I can't believe that her wedding is almost here!

CUT IT OFF!

That is what I told the guy to do with my hair! And cut he did! I am super excited about my new haircut so I had to share it with you. I went to an actual salon. I figured with years of getting 12.99 haircuts at Great Clips, I had more than saved up for a Van Michaels new do. Elizabeth (Street) recommended the guy and he was awesome! I might just have to put this in the budget!

Spring Break '08, Baby!

Yes, last week was my spring break. This is by far one of the most wonderful things about my job in the school system. Stephen can't stand the fact that I had a whole week off with nothing to do, so he has decided that he also deserved a spring break. I couldn't agree more, so we took a week long vacation to Destin. We were so thrilled to be away from our house and not have to worry about dog hair, the yard, cleaning... It took us a while to get relaxed, as we have been very anxious about selling our house, finding one in Valdosta, my job...
By day 3 or maybe 4, it was safe to say RELAXATION! We celebrated our 2nd anniversary (which was actually April 1) by treating ourselves to our favorite restaurant in Destin - Marina Cafe. Our spring break was a far cry from the ole college days, but we enjoyed it just as much (or maybe even more!)
We have had a lot of people come and look at the house. There haven't been any offers yet which I find a little discouraging. I realize that our house has only been on the market for 2 weeks, but as many of you know, I am not the most patient person. God is certainly using this opportunity to continually teach me to trust in Him!

2 Wonderful Years Together!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
