Dave Barnes said it best...

"There's no good reason for the way you love me, but I thank God that you do."

This is a sweet little gift from one of my students. And wouldn't you know it...one who, on a daily basis, makes me want pull every single hair out of my head one by one...but on this particular Friday he lit up my world. And nothing short of it!

A few pictures of my loves....minus my "main squeeze!" :)

As crazy as she drives me...how can you not love that face?

I got this picture a second too late! Rwwar was drinking with Ruckus! It is amazing to see how close they are. When Trey mentioned getting a puppy and a kitten at the same time, I had serious reservations. The last thing I wanted in our lives was two animals...two sets of bills...and two MORE things to take care of, but Rwwar has been easy! Ruckus...well she's the one who....get ready for this.....the latest news....
....eats the hard, black plastic from the bottom of her kennel....then proceeds to throw it up in little tiny pieces....and when she decides to dig instead of eat....she rips a hole through the BRAND NEW carpet that was installed less than a week before we moved in. All I can say is....Trey picked her! :)

As for me, let's just say CRCT is coming up, plus trying to find a new school to move to, and a place to keep all of my stuff after I have packed up my entire classroom. I start and end my day with a cup of tea. I get a kiss and hug from my best friend every day. I have the most wonderful team teacher in school. And I have two pets who make me feel so welcome to come home. Overall, I am stressed beyond belief, but content. Keep your fingers crossed!

Until next time, keep up the lovin'!

You're my....Secret Lover!

So tomorrow our "Secret Lover" at school will be revealed! Now typically, I am not one for the whole Valentine's thing...way too much stock put into it and too much build up. However, I do really enjoy a sappy card once in a while, and it makes for a good excuse to ask for one! Anyway, back to my initial thought...This month has been different. I begged for it, I pleaded for it...and so far, it has gone beyond expectation. Part of this is due to the encouraging "love notes" my Secret Lover is sending to me! So I am pretty pumped about not only revealing myself but finding out who has made the first part of the month a little more special to me!


On another note, Trey found this the other day...and I can't stop listening to it. I just love her!
Rihanna-Cold Case Love


Finally, this was how I found Ruckus this morning when I left.....she likes to burrow. Similar to a rabbit perhaps, only she's a DOG! Trey picked a winner!

Can you find her? Cause I couldn't!!


Until next time, may you receive lots of love notes from your...Secret Lover!

February is for lovers.

So, on a personal note, let's recap the last 3 years in February. 
2007: My grandmother passes away during my internship. 
2008: First childhood dog, Pepper, has to be put to sleep.
2009: Trey moves back to Atlanta because of job issues.


So...2010, I am counting to bring something positive. Not only do I need it to happen, but I insist that it does. So here we go...February 1st...time to show off some love!


Now to the good stuff. Trey and I love our pets with all of our being. One of my best memories that did not involve these magical creatures was a night of Apples to Apples at my parent's house. (Now if you've never played Apples to Apples, it is essentially a comical game of nouns and adjectives.) The adjective was "furry," and my brother was the judge. As he's reading the cards, one says "My Family." Of course we're all laughing at this point quite confused at the card that someone threw down. And then Trey says, "Well, Ruckus....Rwwar....and Sarah's got the longest hair here. I'd say I have a furry family!" Very witty that Trey!

Here are the latest pictures...no real stories lately! Just pictures :)

Until next time, Happy Month O' Lovin!
