Christian's K-5 Graduation~~May 2009

My 30th Birthday! Woo Hoo!! It was awesome! I love my friends!

Senior Trip pictures 2009. We had such an awesome time!

Wow, I know. It's been like a whole year! There have been lots of changes since I was last on here. I'll start where I left off with you guys. The Senior Trip last March-April. It was AWESOME! I absolutely loved everything about Los Angeles/Hollywood. It helped that I had an amazing group of kids to share it with! My seniors graduated in May. I also decided I didn't want to teach anymore, so I began looking for a job in June. I applied with TeamTemps in Valdosta. The next day, I had a job with Smith Drug Company. I began with them as a temp receptionist. Then, a month later I was hired on as a Cycle Counter. I did that for several months. In February of this year, the week of my birthday, I was offered the position of Compliance Coordinator. I, of course, said yes!! I absolutely LOVE the job and the wonderful people I work with. Apparently, God had a plan for me and it is working out beautifully! I turned 30 this year. I had an awesome birthday party. Me, Melissa Bundrick, Ms. Vicky, and Lori Alley went to Olive Garden in Gainesville, FL. (I LOVE Olive Garden.) We then went to my friend Dee King's house to sing some karaoke! Ms. Dee and her two daughters, Kristi and Brigitte, set up the karaoke stage for my birthday. It was so beautiful and thoughtful of them!! Ms. Donna also came to sing with us. It was so much fun! I wanted to do something I had never done before, so we sang karaoke. I was terrible, but I wouldn't give the mic up for anything! I had a chance to sing with all of my friends. It was definitely a day I will never forget! Thanks to everyone who had a hand in making my day unbelievable!! Christian turned 7 in January. He had his first sleepover birthday party. He is such a big boy now. He is so stinkin smart it's crazy!! He has made the Principal's Honor Roll all year. He is just such a wonderful kid!! Samantha will be 6 in May. She will be graduating Kindergarten then as well. She is beautiful! She is probably the sneakiest kid ever, but she is probably also the sweetest! I love my family so much! Mike has decided to start working on his Master's again. He is in his first semester. It's been a little difficult. I miss him so much when he has to go to Montgomery, but it's really important to him. He has also been training for MMA fighting. He has been at it for several months now. I'm kind of scared of when he actually begins fighting. He has done one grappling tournament and I think he did ok at it. I don't know if I can actually go and witness any of this, but we'll see! That's pretty much been our year so far! I will try my hardest to get back on here real soon to get some more updates going!!
