Let the routine begin

So the first week of school is now officially over and it's back to reality.  We had a wonderful, very busy week! I don't think there was a single night we were home before 10pm.  Our week started with our air conditioner going out and it being 95 in our house....ugh....thank goodness for house warranties and Mama Lou! We stayed with Mama Lou (Ryan's grandmother) and went to bed eating homemade brownies and woke up to the smell of fresh bacon, sausage, and biscuits! No complaints here!! Wednesday night we went to the Ranger game and got to sit in a suite! Very nice! Thank you Rodney! Football season started off strong with all 4 subvarsity teams beating Grapevine High School.  It was a fun night! Ryan is having a great time in football this year...very different attitude than years past.  He's really enjoying the kids and the staff!! Friday night we fell 3 points short but the kids put up a great fight! You could see a big difference in the way they fought!  Overall, great week! I'm officially exhausted and ready to do it all over again! Have a good one!

The Dust is Settling

Well, we've been married almost two months now and it has been absolutely wonderful!! All the stress of wedding planning and my first year at a new school teaching a new subject was well worth it! Although all we said we were going to do this summer after the wedding was relax, that wasn't exactly the way our summer turned out!  When we got home from Mexico we started house project after house project! It was fun to watch our house transform into exactly how we imagined it.....very slowly!  We still have so much that we want to do but as we begin back to school and back to 80 hour football weeks, some of those are getting put on the back burner for a bit.  My goal is to kind of take on one project a month! That's about all the stress I (and our bank accounts) can take on right now! School should be interesting this year...I am a "traveling" teacher which means I will teach all four of my classes in a different room.  I was very sad at first because I LOVE decorating my classroom, BUT I am trying to have a good attitude.  After all, having a bad attitude isn't going to change anything so I might as well make the best of it! I am fortunate to get to work with such great people (including my husband!)!!  That has definitely been an adjustment as well....the whole name changing thing.  I will now be referred to at work as "Mrs. Coach Rodgers" so they can avoid getting Ryan and I confused! Kind of fun! I am going to try really hard to continue writing about this new adventure of my life!  Life is good!   Everyone have a wonderful first week back to work!! Use the gifts God has given you to impact ALL the people you come in contact with everyday!!
