Sponsor Me at March for Babies!

I Passed!!!

That's right people, I passed my principal's certification exam. I am in total shock, that was the hardest test I have ever taken in my life! It took me 5 hours to take the 115 question test Jan. 31st and I just got the good news today. Thank you to everyone who has supported me in this stressful transition of my life. Now I just need to snag an AP job. I am applying for the position at the new elementary school in Montgomery, Madeley Ranch, as well as, the opening at Montgomery Junior High. So be praying for me. I don't think they are interviewing until after spring break so it may be a while.

I love my E-Man!!!

Once again it has been a while since my last blog, but that is just the way I am so deal with it. :) Anyway, I had the pleasure of keeping my precious nephew this weekend and we had a blast! We had so much fun fishing (even though we didn't catch a single fish), biking (Ethan, not me...no one needs to see my fat butt rolling up and down the street), playing with the dogs (Sadie was practically crippled from all of the running she did) and playing with shaving cream (Cathy asked me to have him work on his letters, what did she expect, I had to make it fun). Needless to say, Ryan and I went to bed at 8:30 last night from exhaustion. I hope the little man had as much fun as we did. Here are a few pics from the weekend.

Here we are bathing Sadie and brushing her teeth.....Mmmmm

Look....I can spell my name!!!!

What letter is this???

Ryan was helping E fish

I'm bored

I'm at work and bored so I thought I would do a quick post. Cathy got onto me for not blogging in forever so I thought I better get with it. I do have a great video clip from the hurricane, but because I am lazy, I haven't gotten around to downloading it. Maybe one day. There really isn't anything interesting going on in my life lately. I did recently go off on one of my college teachers that irritated me. I accused them of not doing their job because they didn't. I don't know what my problem is, I used to never freak out on people, but I cannot stand irresponsibility. I did go to Ethan's bd party you can see the pics and videos on Cathy or Marsha's blog since I never take pictures anymore. Here is a cute picture that Nichole took one day when we went to market street for a girls day out but please excuse my fat arm, it is disgusting. I miss my friends, I never see anyone anymore since everyone (including me) is so busy! Well, hopefully one day I'll get that hurricane video uploaded, until then...tata!

"It is Finished"-Christ

In John 19:30, Christ hangs on the cross dying for our sins and proclaims, "It is finished." Although my feelings cannot in anyway compare to his sacrifice, in some small way I can understand the meaning behind those fateful words. He paid the price and at that moment he knew his work was finished. Unfortunately our hopes for a child just aren't meant to be at this time so all I can say is "It is finished." I am exhausted with the events of the past year and just need a break but I wanted to post this blog to let everyone know who prayed for us that we are eternally grateful. I will continue to stay faithful that God has a plan, but I can no longer take the grief of being let down each month. Some say that once you give up that is when it happens. All I know is that I have to give up to continue to go on. I apologize for not answering the phone this week, I just know everyone was excited to know what happened and I didn't feel like facing it yet.

I probably won't write for a while because on top of everything else, school started this week. I am up to my eyeballs in work and I can't log on to blogger at school. The last thing I want to do is get on the computer once I get home.

Again, thank you so much. I feel so blessed to have such fantastic family and friends.

Thanks!

Thank you so much to everyone who prayed for us last weekend. Our doctor said everything went great so now it is just a waiting game. God never ceases to amaze me with how he constantly surrounds Ryan and I with loving friends and family. I guess sometimes it takes a difficult circumstance to remind us how many people there are supporting us. No matter what happens, I am so humbled and grateful for the people we know and even those we don't know that took the time to pray for us. Please continue praying that the procedure worked and God will bless us with a child soon. Thank you for everything!

We need your prayers...

Okay, so I swore I wouldn't be blabbing my personal life all over the Internet, but I believe in the power of prayer so it is worth it. As many of you know Ryan and I have been trying to conceive for over a year and unfortunately we have been unsuccessful. After much thought and prayer we decided to seek the help of a specialist. So I would ask that you please say a special prayer for us. We are having a "procedure" this Saturday and I know that when you have the help from hundreds of prayer warriors, God can bring forth miraculous things.
