SO MUCH to be thankful for...

Words can not even describe this month.   

I'll just let it be by saying that it was simply amazing.

May 23rd 2013

My fiance and I closed on our first home :)

 So excited to be home owners!

May 24th 2013

It's real. We moved in!

I especially love our kitchen & baking yummy Pinterest goodies!

May 25th 2013

The fiance and I drove to St. Joseph to pick up our new family member!
We are pleased to welcome this little Schnoodle (Schnauzer + Poodle Mix) to our new home.

Meet Miss LOLA :) 

Lola Bear :)

 She didn't know what to think of the silly Scooby-Doo slippers!

 Playing with daddy.  (Steps were scary!)

 One pooped pup!

Can you tell I'm a little obsessed?  I love my baby girl ♥

May 29th 2013

The students LAST day of school. I had to say goodbye to an amazing group of second graders.  They were an absolute joy to work with and I will cherish the memories we had in our classroom forever. 

I got this cute gift from a kiddo (no doubt her mom checked out Pinterest for this creation!) 

It is jam packed with tasty spices for our new home!

May 30th 2013

LAST DAY for teachers!  My first year of teaching is officially over! 

Where did time go? It all happened SO fast.

 Hero Unit: The students picked a hero of their choice, decorated their hero and wrote three reasons on the back.  

It's things like this that make me smile.  I can honestly say that I LOVE my job and making a difference in my students' lives

 :)

May 31st 2013

My final comps presentation for graduate school! It's f.i.n.a.l.l.y. over!

June 7th 2013

Lola started puppy class! She had a blast and let me tell you, was quite the charmer.  All the male pups were drawn to her!  She is going to be a little handful! ;)

5 more weeks of classes left!

SO much has happened in such little time.

I feel blessed to have such a loving fiance, supportive family, and great friends!

Can't wait to see what the summer and future has in store for us :) 

What are your summer plans?

I'm Back :) Happy Easter!

First. Happy Easter ♥
I hope you all enjoy plentiful amounts of time with your loved ones!  Spring is such a beautiful time of the year and it is the day to remember how blessed we are!



I made some yummy cupcake puppy chow.

Doesn't the look of it just make your mouth water?
It is simply fantastic.
Check our the recipe here!

Second. Hi! I'm Back :)

Who knows if anyone even look at this blog anymore, but wow, I have missed some old blogger friends.  My life has been quite busy to say that least.  Actually the busiest it has ever been (and potentially EVER will be). 

So what have I been up to in this past YEAR, you ask? Here are my top 5 things going on in my life...

ONE.

I got engaged! 

Eeek. 

Yes, finally :) 

We have been together now for 8 1/2 year and he is my high school-sweetheart, whom I adore! I feel so lucky to have someone life him.

TWO.

I started grad school. I will walk THIS May with a MS in Education & a focus in Literacy :) 

THREE.

I am second grade teacher and absolutely love my students.  They are at the age where they you are the greatest thing known to man and have mad rad skills (such as: you am the best artist, you SO knowledgable...(almost genius!), and the list goes on!) 

FOUR.

We're getting a house! Now, this is exciting but also incredibly stressful.  Holy paperwork! My life is officially signed away with mortgage loans and what have-ya. Whoa, nothings "official" yet, but we're darn close!

FIVE.

We will be adding another addition to our family soon...

A PUPPY :) 

Thoughts about particular breeds? We want to adopt a small-medium sized furry friend!

Well, if you happen to mosey on over and find this post, let me know something new that's been happening in your life! It will take awhile to get back into the swing of things and read old friends posts, but I thoroughly intend to, quite soon too!

Have a happy and blessed day, friends!
