Not-as-Newlyweds

So I'm a posting slacker. Sorry!

A couple activities from the last couple weeks:

• lots and lots of grading--the end of the first quarter
• entered grades into the computer system for report cards
• went away to Destin to celebrate our anniversary... more on that to come
• found out we think either our washing machine or water heater is leaking...
• but thankfully, my parents are coming this weekend and Super Dad is going to help us check it out
• they're coming to visit because my birthday is this week (!!)
• my class really liked my costume parade "costume" of an umbrella with dog and cat beanie babies hanging off it with fishing line... "it's raining cats and dogs!"
• it was really cool because we had just talked about idioms and the history behind that particular idiom... they "got" it right away
• I survived Halloween with a bunch of highly excited 8 & 9 year olds :)
• we voted on Saturday... the line to pull into the library parking lot was so long, we just walked from our house (our neighborhood is almost exactly across from a library)
• we actually didn't have to wait too long, because we got there in the 2nd quarter of the "big game"
• by the time we were done, it was half time and the line was really long again
• Sammy dog is the sweetest, snuggling, cuddling dog :)
• it's starting to be chilly here!
• I saw a colorful tree!
• we go home for Thanksgiving this month!!
• Matt is ROCKING his new job. :)
  

So there's glimpse at our lives. Stay tuned for more info and pics from our anniversary getaway... and my birthday. :) :) :)
