Revamp and Redo

So it's been over two years since I've written anything here. Admittedly part of it is due to me forgetting I even had a blog. Then life got crazy. Mr. Lowe and I had a baby!

Our beautiful princess was born September 12, 2013 at 11:49 am weighing 7 lbs. 9 oz and 19 1/2 inches long. We also moved, I began teaching 2nd grade ESE verses 4th grade gifted and Mr. Lowe began working at an elementary school right down the road from mine. 

I have no idea what I will be posting in this blog. It will probably end up being a mix of all kinds of things including baby, school and other random things I'm learning. 

Woah

Wow I am TIRED tonight. I have some papers to grade and some things to find online but man I don't want to do any of it.

The kiddos were a little wild today. They were very talkative and just hyped up. And it has me worn out.

I seriously feel like I could go to sleep at 8 and sleep until my alarm goes off at 5:30.

I'm hoping to put together a author's purpose game before I retest my students that need it. Maybe I can just find some worksheets...I am too worn out. Or better yet I can just rest for 20 minutes and then I will have more energy to get done what I need to get done.

It feels like it should be Friday! Where did the time go?

wowie wow wow!

Wow things just got rocked here in our house! I am excited and nervous all at the same time!
I am trusting God to lead us in the right direction and to guide us. I just pray that we will make the right decisions at the right time. I pray that God will guide us at exactly the right time.
Please guide us and lead us father. Show us when to move and when to be still.

The Red Pump Project

Ok ladies (and guys too!) it is a sad, scary fact that every 35 minutes a woman in the US tests positive for HIV. That's why I'm using this post to spread the word about the Rock the Red Pump Project! On March 10th 2012 wear your red pumps to show your support. If you want to check out more info visit http://www.theredpumpproject.org/
You guys should really check it out!

Hope you join me in praying for these women and girls as well as showing off those wonderfully red pumps (or any red shoes really) to show your support for such a GREAT cause!

Ministering to Webber

Well, we are (and by we I mean a few of the church members) are thinking of trying to get the church to minister to the Webber kids. I got some great ideas from some of the ladies on the Facebook page and I am really excited to present these ideas to the board and get the ball rolling on this.

The ideas the ladies had were: gift cards to a specific place like a restaurant, toilet paper, laundry supplies and various food items.

I also REALLY want to start a Beth Moore study again. I really feel like I grew SO much when I was studying her with the girls at FCC and even the week that I went to 1st Christian Kissimmee. I just feel like I am doing so much and wearing so many hats right now that I don't even get to enjoy the worship time I have at church. Besides that, I struggle with connecting to the music which is a big thing for me in worship. I don't know. I know that I can grow if I want to.

I am sad that I don't have the same advantages I had when I was in college. I was in the word every day simply because of my classes. Now it feels like I really have to struggle to get all my work done in the time that I am given let alone to spend time in the word and in communion with God.

I am SO thankful for a job and to be married to my best friend and to have a house to live in and dogs to love I just have to focus on becoming a better manager of my time.

Life

Well, I gave my husband food poisoning. I attempted making a copy cat Chick-fil-a fried chicken recipe I found on Pinterest the other day. The recipe said to pound the chicken to 1/8th of an inch thick. Well, silly me, I figured that Chick-fil-a doesn't make their chicken super thin so neither will I. While he was eating it he discovered it wasn't cooked all the way and he has been sick all day. :( I feel awful!

In other news I LOVE teaching and am SUPER excited about officially starting all on my own tomorrow but at the same time I am nervous. I mean, I have to keep these kids under control and remember all the things I have to remember. I have to send all the notes home and teach them all the facts they need in order to pass the FCAT. I need to keep them engaged and learning.
And at the same time, sometimes I miss college. I mean, yes, I LOVE being married and I LOVE being done with school and out of FCC but sometimes I wish I was still in school. I feel like I had so much more energy when I was in college as opposed to now. When I was in college even if I had early morning classes I could come back and go to sleep or skip something to catch up on something else. Now that the real world has hit I can't do that. I am at work from 7:30-3:15 five days a week. I can't take a nap when I am tired or skip a certain class because I am too tired to go. Then when I get home there is dinner to cook and things to clean and other things to get ready for the next day of teaching.

Like I said, I LOVE being out of college it is just hard at times.

I messed up real bad today. I can only pray it gets better from here. Tomorrow is a new day. I will get a fresh start to make it better. Here's to praying it does.
