Halloween!

Okay, it's been a while since I've posted anything. I've been really bad about this blogging thing. Since I've been gone, we went to the beach, Gary has gotten a new jeep, and I started school again! The jeep is really cute and it's a lot of fun. We went on a camping trip a couple weeks ago and I got to experience "jeeping" for the first time. My life flashed before my eyes a couple times, but it was a lot of fun. However, I don't think I'm cut out to camp. It's just a little too rough for me. Here are some pics from our beach and camping trip.






Tomorrow is our Halloween party at school and I'm going to be a pirate! ARRR! It should be fun. On Halloween night, Tina and I will be going to my parents house to hand out candy to trick or treaters. Tina will be dressed as a bumble bee but I have a feeling she won't be too friendly to the trick or treaters. I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure she has social anxiety disorder. :(

Our new nephew, Father's Day, and My Birthday!

My birthday was this past Sunday. It happened to fall on Father's Day this year. Gary's parents were in town so we got to have breakfast with them on Father's Day and then we had dinner at my Grandparents. On Saturday, we went to dinner with our best friends at Bordinos for my birthday! Gary surprised me with a Maggie Moo's ice cream cake in my favorite flavor, Espress Yourself!! I was so excited! We had a lot of fun at dinner, except I didn't feel too well so we didn't end up going out afterwards. :( Also, my sister in law had her baby last week; Nathan Martin Shell. He is so precious. We got to go to the hospital and see him right after he was born. It was so cute to see how the girls interacted with him. Here's some pictures of the past week!

Crawfish Boil and End of School!

Gary and I had a crawfish party this past weekend. I had only eaten crawfish once before this party and I wasn't too wild about them. I just don't like cracking open a creature to eat it's insides! I felt the same way at the party. Luckily we had corn on the cob, salad, and baked potatoes for me and a few others who didn't like crawfish. The party was so much fun and I got to play yard golf for the first time. Max and Leslie brought their game over and it was so much fun! We have got to get our own set! Also, last Friday was the last day of school. This was my first year teaching and it was definitely rough but I have learned so much! I really feel like next year will be a lot easier. It was hard to say goodbye to my kids, but I'm really excited for summer!

Sorry it's been a while!

We're finally married! Our wedding was so much fun. We have been married for almost 5 months now and it's flown by. A lot of people say the first year is the hardest, but surprisingly it's been really fun! Only 6 more days until school is out, and I am so ready! I will definitely miss my 3rd graders but I'm ready for a break. We plan to go to the beach this summer (YIPEE!) and I'll be taking some professional development classes (BORING)! We'll have some more pics up soon!
