My Last Day of Summer...

Such a bummer! It is my very last day of summer vacation. I have enjoyed everyday of the summer and I loved all of my carefree days! But, every good summer must come to an end. It is always refreshing knowing that soon I will be starting brand new school year- new kids, new parents, new year! I have to say that I am looking forward to getting back into a routine. There is also one more good thing about the end of summer.... FOOTBALL SEASON!!! If you know me at all, you know that this is my FAVORITE time of year! I anxiously wait for my tickets to be delivered and count down the days- 26 days! I love watching my Bulldogs play and we are looking forward to a great season! Our team is on the rise!  Below are a few of my favorite pics from last season:






Yesterday, I had my annual OB appointment.  I always dread this appointment but yesterday it was a little worse.  I had not seen Dr. W since the D&C and it just brought back icky memories.   Everything looks great and he told me that he got the results back from the D&C.  He said that we had "severe chromosomal abnormalites."  Most people only have 1 or 2 chromosome problems.  I had 5.  This was just not meant to be and God took care of us.  We are back on the IF train so prayers that it works again!

On another note, I was looking at my sister's blog today and came across a blog that she follows.  It is called When Hello Means Goodbye and blogger is a sweet girl who lost her first baby after 21 weeks.  She then found out that she had kidney disease and needed a kidney transplant.  Her story is amazing and it really puts things in perspective!  You can read more about her here. 

Have a great weekend!!

Summer Things...

I have loved my summer and I have been busy! I just wanted to share a couple of things that I did this summer. First, I painted three pictures to hang in my dining room. I have been working on them for a while and finally finished. We have a pretty big blank wall in our dining room and I could not find the perfect piece for it. So, I made one myself! And here it is...

I also went shopping with my mother-in-law at several thrift stores in the area.  I got a great owl that looks like Hedwig from Harry Potter for my classroom.  My kids will love him!  I also found the cutest little rocking chair for $20.  I could not resist and I bought it.  When I brought it home, I put it in the living room so that I could show Kevin when he got home.  I didn't know that my little rocking chair would be such a hit!  My cats loved it and even had a little squabble over who was going to get to sit in it!
