One summer evening in June, our friend Marcus sent out a text that said cobbler at his Cabin in Pine Valley that night. This has happened in the past so we thought it would be a big group of friends going up to the cabin. I had text back "sweet" in the midst of the busy day. Anilee and Courtney and I proceeded to drive up to Pine Valley (about 40 minute drive) and right before we turned around the corner to his Cabin, I said "it would be funny if it was just Marcus and us", then Anilee said "or it would be funny if no one was there". We turned the corner and this picture of the cabin is what we saw! (No cars, no Marcus, and no friends) :) We had a good laugh and took a picture of the cabin and sent it to Marcus. It was entertaining that we drove up there and no one was there! We have harassed him about it multiple times. But before we drove back home we made an adventure out of it and went up by the lake and enjoyed the amazing weather! Good Times!
JUNE 2011-
I love going to the lake! These pictures are from the beginning of the summer! Amy and Jayson took me and a few of our friends out! It was so much fun! It makes each summer amazing! :) Wakeboarding and surfing! :)
This is my cute nephew, Jett. Kaulin's sister, Karlie, and Alisha are enjoying some cuddling with him! Julie went all out on the cute decoration and food! She is amazing :). I was fun to have all the family together to celebrate this wonderful occasion- May 2011- I love my Family!
Janet is the PTA president at our school and one of my dearest friends! I have taught both of her cute kids in 1st grade! She nominated me one month for Best Teacher on the Planet. This is an award through one of the local radio stations. They give this award out once a week. The radio station come to my classroom in February and gave me the award and lots of prizes! These pictures are from the banquet they did at the end of the year for all the teachers who received the award.
These are some fun pictures of the girls out on the town~ Athena, Courtney, Jenn, and Reese. Just out having fun! :)
I love having little breaks from reality! :) Lounging by the pool, soaking up the sun, and hanging out on the lazy river was wonderful. We went to Las Vegas for a few days but mostly just to relax :). The food was great and we our shopping consisted of the Bass Proshop (where I got my new swimsuit and saw the cool aquarium). Courtney and Cami joined me for the fun and the red rock pics are from our adventures when we got home last week. We did batting cages, went hot tubbing, and played Frisbee. It was such a great time with the friends!

Wow how time flies! For some reason I tend to reflect once another birthday has come around. I can't believe how time really does go by so fast! Another school year is almost over. This summer it will be 10 years since I graduated high school. I can't believe how many things I have been able to accomplish since then. I have my Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education, my Master's Degree in Administration, and I am completing my Early Childhood Endorsement (of 30 credits) right now. I taught 5 years of first grade and 1 year of kindergarten. This reflecting helps me appreciate the help from above to be able to do everything that I have in the past 10 years. I am also grateful for all the amazing people in my life-- I am so blessed with amazing family and friends! I love you all! 10 years ago I went on an amazing trip to Europe, and this summer I get to do it again! I am so so so excited! ;)
