Vacation Time!

This semester has been so much fun....but now it is time to take a

vacation to one of my favorite places

Wild Dunes

Pumpkin Patch

I went with some friends to a  Pumpkin Patch in October!

We had so much fun, and I would highly recommend it as a class field trip!

Visit their website at Oakes Farm to learn more about it!

High School Football is FUN!

Our family loves to support High School Football!

We like to go out on the field before the game to visit!

You can hear us cheering loud and proud from the stands!

After the game we rush to the field to hug our daddy/husband/coach!

Football is FUN!

Go to HVA Football to learn more about Hardin Valley Academy football!

Field Trip to the Fruit and Berry Patch

 I took a field trip with my daughter's preschool class to the Fruit and Berry Patch.

 We were able to pick our own apples, and learn about different types of apple trees.

The students loved feeding the goats.

We went on a hay ride...after we went through a corn maze, which is a VERY bad idea

with a bunch of 3 and 4 year old kids!

Afterwards we were able to take our apples home!

25 Things about ME :)

1) I had a Coarctation of the Aorta at the age of 4.

2) I have always loved children! When I was in 4th grade I told my mom I was going to have 12 kids. I even had all their names picked out!

3) I saved a 10 month old baby by doing CPR at a Kohl’s department store. I suppose all those lifeguarding classes paid off.

4) I began college as a pre-med major…wanting to be a pediatric cardiologist…I ended college with a criminology/psychology major…wanting to become a lawyer. I was accepted to UT Law School and declined because I wanted to work with children on a daily basis.

5) I attended the Summer Olympics in Atlanta and did a presentation for my 4th grade class when I returned. I watched Michael Johnson toss his gold shoes in the TRASH CAN while somebody dove in after them!

6) I bought my first house at the ripe old age of 22.

7) I graduated college with my Bachelor’s degree in 3 years and I have yet to regret it…although everyone said I would.

8) I will not go to bed without brushing my teeth and washing my face…in that order. I won’t let my husband get into bed without brushing his teeth either! It drives him crazy.

9) I lived in a 12 X 12 dorm room (or box) with Alison Winter for an entire year and we NEVER had one argument!

10) I bite my fingernails all the time. I have tried to stop many times, but have never succeeded. I will accept any suggestions.
