Husband Graduating

My husband graduates from DBU with an MBA in Buisness Managment on December 14th. I am so proud of him! My birthday was on November 1st. We had lots of fun. It was one of three birthdays in my life time where friends have wanted to take me out to dinner and celebrate with me. I have not celebrated my birthday with a group of friends since my junior year of highschool when my friend Scott Anderson threw me a suprise birthday party. This made me realize how important friends are in a persons life. I have not had many friends in my life, but a few have been there for me when I needed them and they are true friend. Thanks to all of you who have always been there for me. May God watch over you always.

Long Time Gone . . .

So, I finally got a chance to blogg... which I have not done in forever. But now that the bulk of my classes are out of the way, I am finding the time. Shaune and I have been going to FMCC. Flower Mound Congregational Church. It was so sudden when it happened. We are not members, but we have been attending a bible study on Wednesday nights. Shaune and I decided to visit the church after Bryce and Kelly were married. We visited and we never left. It is very different from Crossroads; the only difference is that we have known that this is where we are supposed to be for now. It was so strange. We were not looking for a church and here we end up. God has told us that we need to be here for the time being. I have been doing bible studies at crossroads because out little church only has 40 members, and it is still growing. Crossroads will always be our home church, but this is where God has called us to be for now.

I am talking 4 classes this fall and I graduate next December. Shaune and I are in the processes for looking for a house. I am trying to go and visit Robyn in March for spring break. I am a Site Supervisor in the ESD program for Castle Hills Elementary school, and Shaune and I are celebrating our 3rd year of marriage in April. We will start trying to have children in a year, and my grandmother on my mom’s side is having shoulder replacement surgery. WOW! That is a lot. There is so much more going on, but that will have to wait another time. God is good right now.. and that is all I have to say

P.S. I have skype if anyone out there has it and wants to talk through it.

SOmething WOW!!! and different . . .

More to come at a later date. . . Will clarify the situation about the other church at a later date . . . possibly at a the end of the summer is when we will make our final choice.

I am now posting again!!!

HA! HA! This semester is finally over! WOO HOO! I made 4 A's and a B. Sweet bliss. I am currently training te LISD's new Summer's Cool staff with my team members. This summer will be lots of fun. I was given a good staff. I am very greatful to God for that. This summer I wil be taking one University class each month while I am working. I don't think that it will be too bad, but we'll just have to see. The summer camp curriculum that I wrote turned out wonderful. Everyone loves it and they have expressed an interest in me writting mext years curriculum. God has blessed me with so many wonderful opportunities. I have decided to brush up on my guitar playing this summer. I laugh at this because I broke my aucustic guitar a year or two ago. It was not a good one by any means, and the bridge just decided to pop off one day. So I am currently using a guitar that I have never played on before. SHaune recieved it as a gift YEARS ago, but it is a slammin guitar for it kind. I am playing an electric guitar. :) Who would have though. I will have to buy another classical or accoustic guitar when the time comes later on.

Two weeks ago Shaune lifetime best friend go married to an awsome woman. I am really happy for the both of them. They make a famtastic couple. One of the best memories that I have about Bryce is this. . . We were joking around about the wedding and how stressful planning a wedding can. I jokingly told him that they sould elope an blow all the money and time they had put into the wedding already. Byce, very seriously, said nope. I have been waiting for this day for a while. I want to see her all dolled up and walking down the isle in her wedding dress. Iw ouldn't miss that moment for the world.

When a man says such sweet things about the woman he loves: that is a true man.
Congrats two the two of them! I love you both!

More to come on the blogg, I promise. . .

P.S. sorry about the spelling.

Spring Break

It is 11:34 p.m. Sunday night. An hour ago I finished the last of my midterm tests. So far so good. Still have A's in all five of my classes. I have to get a head start on a ton of papers due in April during my spring break. I have 20 4 pages and up papers due in April. I also have a book drive to participate in when I come off of spring break. My anxiety level is hitting the roof just about now. I am going to get two massages this week to help reduce my stress levels.

Shaune and I bought a new 07 Nissan Altima this week. We have been experiencing car trouble with the Mazda and we decided it was time and with his current rising in the home selling business, he needed a car to drive clients around. It is beautiful.

Shaune and I decided that when I graduate depending on money, we can do one of two things. I can celebrate my graduation by taking a trip for two to Hawaii, or flying solo back to German and spending some time there with friends and making new ones. I hope its the latter of the two, but I realize that Shaune and I will be needing some time together as well. It is hard living in the same house and not being able to see your husband. We make it work though. I look forward to seeing him late on Tuesday and Thursday nights after class, and getting to spend time together on the weekends. We spend our weekends up at his office. I work home homework and he works on projects he needs to finish. We work side by side. Just having his presence there is great.

Shaune got his tux for the Eubanks-Burr wedding coming up on May 12th. I am so excited! Will write more later! Love you all and miss you lots!

Long Time No Post

Last time I posted was when I was in Germany. We got home ok. We nearly missed our plane. It was a good flight back, but much culture shock. I discovered that I have a lot of European in my personality. I miss Germany. If I wasn’t married I so could have moved over there. Thinking about it makes me sad. The countryside was great and so were the towns. Shaune and I made some friends there and one of them *Max* we three became very close. Shaune still laughs about the Cosby kids (inside joke). Hopefully we will be back in Germany with friends in a year or two.

My gosh! We came back on a Thursday night and Shaune and I both went back to work on Friday. The very next Friday, we married off my sister on January 13th. The wedding was done in black and white and it was BEAUTIFUL! I now have a brother-in-law who is almost 7 feet tall. Blake, you are so cool. I am glad because my sister married into a great and godly family. God is the center, which drives them all. I'll post pictures when we get them back.

The Monday after the wedding, we started school. School is REALLY kicking the tar out of me. I know I have said it before and have whined about school, but all the other semesters are nothing compared to this. I am taking 5 classes (15 hours) and am working three days a week. I and writing curriculum for a Summer camp, and have 50 hours of observation and volunteer service to do. I almost quit my job, which was making me very sad for a few weeks. I love my job and do not want to quit. I was blessed to have opportunities open up and my boss is working with me. Apparently, I am valuable to them and I am being given opportunities that not many people have been given the luxury of having. I am truly blessed. My days and night are now filled with TONS of homework. I am taking a break at 1:35 in the a.m. from doing homework to post this. I have 20 four to five page papers due in April. LITERALLY. This does not include the regular schoolwork, or online work, or service and observation hours that I have to complete. Blogging may be slow for this semester, but I want to try to keep up with it. I laugh at myself sometimes. So close to graduating, but yet so far away it seems.

We are going to look at buying a house again either this summer or in the winter. We finally were able to get the guy downstairs to turndown his TV. News on my grandfather: his prostate has enlarged. They did a test to see of he would be a candidate for radioactive seeds, but they can't do it because he has an enlarged prostate. A prostate should be the size of a walnut or a little smaller. His is the size of a tangerine or a small orange. Prayer is needed for this. My grandpa is 80 years old and the only option left is radiation. I don't think this is a good thing at all for his age. My family is worried.

Women's retreat decorating is going great! I am really excited with our theme this year and look forward to not being sick, or having my bathroom flood the suite downstairs. I have deepened some friendships as the retreat planning goes on. Will post more later!

Pictures

These are pictures of us in the Swizz Alps and down and around Badenwilder Germany. The picture of the street is what Robyn sees out her bedroom window! Here the castle is lit up at night!
