The King of Country

That's right Brian, Matt, and I are going to see The King of Country...aka George Strait!! He is coming to Houston in August (happy early birthday to me!) and bringing Sugarlang, Blake Shelton, and Julianne Houghe with him! Brian and I have always said that if he ever came to town or close to town that we would go see him...he's on the top of my list of people to see in concert (and I've seen alot of concerts). We knew he'd be coming to Arlington in July with Reba (he's opening the cowboy's new stadium) and we figured that we'd go stay with Brian's parent's and see the concert, but we couldn't get tickets. Brian's assistant read in the Chronicle Friday morning that you could buy tickets on the website so my wonderful husband bought 3 tickets!! We are super excited and since Brian's birthday is in July and mine is in August (the weekend after the concert) that is our birthday present to eachother and Matt's ticket is his present to himself because he's coming home!

I SURVIVED...

I SURVIVED METHODS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I feel extremely accomplished and am very proud to say that I received A's in all 4 of my classes and that I received a perfect 3 on my mini TWS...this is a HUGE project and feel alot more prepared for student teaching. I already know that I will be in Conroe ISD for my student teaching, but I am one of the people that don't know their campus placement yet, so please pray that a) I get a campus close to my house and b) that one of my best friends, Lauren and I get the same campus!



I will update more tomorrow, but now it's time to get ready for bed....5:20 sure comes early!

It's Starting To Look Like Home

It's starting to look more like home around here. I haven't taken pictures yet because I want to get everything in place before I take pictures, but I will get them taken eventually. We were extremely blessed to have a HUGE amount of help from my family last weekend when we moved in. Brian and my grandpa have been working hard on our backyard and Brian finished one of their backyard projects last night. Our backyard doesn't have grass in it right now, but Brian hopes to get the guy out to put grass back there this week or next. All in all everything is getting there. I just got done waiting on Rooms To Go to deliver our entertainment center (they delivered the original one last week but dropped it off the truck!) so I have few boxes to unpack in our living room and then my other project for today is to work on upacking the room that will be our office. We still need to get pictures on the walls and decorations up but that will come in time.

In other news I have officially survived methods!! I have about a three week break until summer school starts in June. I am taking my LAST MATH CLASS EVER in June and then will have a break until student teaching starts in August. I am still waiting on my exact school assignment, but do know that it will be in Conroe ISD.

Take A Tour

Ok so we're still alive just busy as can be because we're moving this weekend!! Brian and I are very excited to move into our first home and have been busy packing up our apartment. It will be a little sad to leave this apartment as we have some great memories here, but we've definitely outgrown this place and it will be nice to have more room. My Granny told us that right now it will seem like our house is huge (it's a 3 bedroom 2.5 bath 2 story) right now but before we know it that house will be filled up too!

Here's some pictures of our new house and our current apartment all packed up! This is what it looked like before we started packing up! Thank you to my mother in law for all of the boxes!

This is what it looks like every evening...this is our pile to take the the house tonight!

Say a prayer that the weather will cooperate with us for a great weekend to move!
