Almost a year later...

I haven't kept up with my blog at all this year! And looking at all those creepy comments on an old post now I'm nervous too.

I'll give it a try anyway though. I have a lot to be thankful for this year. I married the most amazing man God has created 4 months ago. I feel like this was one of the best decisions of my life. I'm so thankful for a loving family who has not only loved me inspite of all my quirks but has also loved my husband like he is one of their own. God is definintely taking care of us as newlyweds and he reminds us that He will supply all of our needs! For example, our move in 2 weeks, completely sent from the Lord and exactly what we need at this time in our life.

I hope you all have a wonderfully blessed Thanksgiving this year!

Overdue Update

I have been such a horrible blogger! I feel a little bad about this but hear me out. Here is my rational. I spent to years in Russia as you know and I was heavily dependent on my computer and technology to keep in touch with people. I was constantly updating facebook with photos of all the cool stuff I saw. I was on skype a few times a day talking with Cliff and my family. So now I live in America again, and those people are near me everyday. So I have been trying to stay off the computer so much and spend time with those I love the most. But I will try my best to get better again.

So updates..... Wedding planning is going so great. I have my dress, well I have ordered it and it should be in any day now. I have already picked up my veil, petticoat and jewelry. The church is booked, the reception is booked and the food is booked. We need to get some pics done so we can send out Save the Date's this month. I should have done that during these snow days the last two days.

Here is a sneak peak at the dress. I LOVE IT!!!!

In other things... I absolutely love my job! I have 21 little 3rd graders who steal my heart everyday. I was really dreading going back to work after such a great break. But after about an hour of being there I was glad to be back. I missed spending so much time with Cliff. He was just begging me to get home as soon as possible. He doesn't start back to coaching till Monday so he was a little bored without me. We have just had the best time watching movies, playing tons of games, and playing in the snow. I cannot wait to spend the rest of my life with this wonderful man!!

I promise I'll be better about updating now. I had an awesome football weekend in Dallas so I'll post some stuff soon!

Engaged!

I have been horrible about updating since I got home and started working. I am not only loving my job but got engaged tonight to the absolute love of my life! I thought I would share a few pics!

Hawaii

I know I am a horrible blogger this summer. I promise to update later!



Training has been awesome this week. I am a bit overwhelmed and on information overload but it will be great! I can't wait to come back and work.



I am coming back because I am heading to Hawaii in a few hours! I'm going to spend a few days with my honey and to bring him home to me! I can't wait.



I promise pics later, and more updates!



It has really been a fun summer full of blessings!

Job!

I got the job! I interviewed this morning and it went awesome! I will be working at Central Elementary School in Putnam City. I start on August 3rd for training. That is till the 5th. Then I will go to Hawaii to see my Honey. We will leave together on the 11th. (He is never to really leave my side ever again!) We will arrive in OKC on the 12th. I will go to work for the year on the 13th!

I know only I would plan something like that.

But I am totally ecstatic about my new job. Love my new principal and new co-workers already!

I cannot wait to see what God has in store for my life this year!

interview

I have a job interview! I'm so excited. Apparently I have been getting anxiety attacks the last few weeks due to stress. I get myself a little worked up about not having a job yet since school starts in a few weeks. So I have applied for over 30 more jobs in the last few days. One of the principals called me today for an interview. I'm so excited!

I don't know anything about this part of town but its in Putnam City and not too far of a drive from Edmond. I'll let you know how it goes!!

Family Time!

I know it has been forever since I have written anything. I have really been enjoying my time in America thus far. I have been spending a lot of time with family. I haven't really seen many friends yet. That will come. I have been relaxing and unpacking! Here are some pics to show what I've been doing.

my first time meeting my cousin Jarrah, grandbaby #56, I think

I love these cousins, Noah and Jarrah.

FYI their momma, my aunt is 20 months older than me!

Happy 4th! My family at the 4th of July parade
