Sweet Husband!

Nick is so sweet and awesome! This morning he had coffee and tea waiting for me to take to work! He also had an ego muffin top, but I ate that before the picture...

I can't wait for this weekend...Friday I will be alone for a while since Nick is working late, but Saturday after we help my brother, Eric, move we are going to run house errands, which is fun when you have a house to decorate.

Weekends...

Nick and I had a full weekend, and while I was planning on having a ton of pictures, my camera decided to die. So, a synopsis will have to do...

Friday, Nick got off of work a little early and we headed straight to my parent's house. We had family game night with my parents, both brothers, sister-in-law, and nephews. Pizza and games and fun! We played The Game of Things, and it is awesome...I highly recommend it, it is good for a group of people and definitely not for kids. We also played the longest game of Life EVER! It was good to have us all together, and we had so much fun.

Saturday, Nick and I had lunch reservations at Artista. It was pretty good, and was even better since we had a $50 gift certificate. We have season tickets to a lot of theater stuff, and that is why we had the gift certificate. So, after lunch we went to A Chorus Line and it was awesome. Not one of my favorites, but still a great show! We have season tickets to Theater Under The Stars, Broadway Across America, and the Houston Ballet. TUTS is totally the best if you are interested in this kind of stuff! Afterward, we went to church with my brother, Eric, and then headed home. We had a quiet night in watching football playoffs.

Sunday, we had planned on doing some errands but got a call from my brothers to come out to Crosby to hang out and watch football. So, we had breakfast, which consisted of eggs from my brother's chickens. They were ridiculously good! Anyway, we did a couple of errands and then went out to see the family again. It was a great lazy Sunday with family!

Awesome weekend, and I am a teacher so I have today off too! It works out good because now I can get some things done, and I am already half way through my to-do list!

Random!

Saw on some blogs that people were sharing random facts about themselves and thought it would be fun...

I have an MBA in finance, but teach middle school English. I wouldn't have it any other way!!

I LOVE knowing people's middle names...mine is Nicole and Nick's is Alan.

I do not like soda at all!! Sprite is the only 'soda' that I will even think about drinking.

Nick and I plan to adopt in the future, and we are positive that it will be domestic and NOT international. Too many kids here are forgotten!

Nick and I have decided that for our anniversaries we will alternate who plans them. It is the day WE got married so I don't think it is fair for one person to plan it every year. He gets the first one, haha!

We have all kinds of travel plans, but they are on hold until we have more money...once I get my teaching certification paid for we will definitely be going somewhere! Right now the list consist of Seattle, San Francisco, London, Greece, and Baltimore (solely so that Duff from Charm City Cakes can make us a cake, and we get to meet and Geoff!!)

Nick is always scared that I will come home with another dog...I hate to see homeless dogs, it breaks my heart. Volunteering with an animal adoption program probably isn't the best place for me to be, haha. (Friends For Life is a no-kill, non-profit organization that is awesome, though, if you are interested!)

That is really all I got for now...

Seriously!!

Sometimes I just don't get my students! I teach at a Catholic school, and while it isn't easy these kids are extremely babied. I only had two students in my homeroom who did their religion homework, which was a super short worksheet, and they could care less. Maybe it is just because they are in 7th grade and turning 13, but they could all use a reality check that life won't always be so easy, and in high school teachers will just give a zero and not care that they are failing.
