I can see the light at the end of the tunnel

Today was my final evaluation and I�m happy to say I�ve passed. So as of today I only have a total of 6 days left of actual teaching and one week of observations and then I�m DONE. Of course I still have a class to take during the summer but the majority of work is done for this degree.
This past week was my spring break so I was able to go home and get a lot done, but at the same time I still felt torn between getting my final lesson plans complete and working on wedding stuff. It will be nice to finally focus all my energy and attention to the wedding and Caleb after these next few weeks are over.
Good luck to all of you finishing up this semester, hang on it�s almost over.

So close you can taste it! Good luck!!! ... with EVERYTHING!

Good luck! Wedding planning is fun :)

by DessertDiva at 04/09/07 12:22PM
WOOHOO!!! It will be here and over and 5 years gone before you can blink.

by mpettes at 04/09/07 3:03PM
Yeah, once you get all that stuff done then all you'll have to do is... everything :)

by vande at 04/09/07 4:08PM
I thought 24 was great. They are getting some good action back into it again. The "trick" on Fayad was good. I totally didn't see that coming. I don't like whats going on in the White House though. I mean...come on. Goodl uck with your final few weeks at school! You can do it!

by beep_girl at 04/10/07 8:02AM
Would love to know some details of the wedding plans!!!!!!

by zani128 at 04/10/07 8:12AM
You are so close to being done, and this summer...we will have fun to make up for your stress now!

by kris at 04/10/07 1:03PM
What cracks me up is when people see my handwriting and say, "You should have been a kindergarten teacher." Like good writing is the main qualification. :) Still, I take it as a compliment.

by dressednyella at 04/10/07 2:19PM
CONGRATS!!! I am so happy for you! The wedding stuff can totally take over your life (I'm sure you remember my wedding 4 years ago which actually took over a couple people's lives!!) Try to enjoy it though. I know it's hard to say that when you're in the middle of it. You are at a busy time in planning process but it will all be over with soon enough and you'll be married. How exciting!

by crazy_mama at 04/10/07 5:20PM
I did know, and so did the Dentist. I told her the first time I visited, but usually I just have bad headaches, and it takes alot to numb me, this time it was a true reaction. Crazy. My cheek is almost normal size, it has gone down alot throughout the day. So that's a plus. When I took my certification exam today, they had to take my picture before hand, I looked like I had something stored inside my left cheek! HOw was your day???

by kris at 04/10/07 7:26PM
Got your invitation in the mail. It's very cute! Noelani is in love with it. Red is her favorite color so there's a good chance that I'll never see it again!! We're still trying to figure out how we will be able to make it to your wedding since Frederic is doing Ashley Toomb's wedding in TN the day before your wedding. I'm not sure how we can make it happen but we did talk for a long time tonight about trying to make this all work out. I really want to come and see you as a bride. You will be gorgeous. Caleb is a lucky guy!!! I'm sure he already knows that though!

by crazy_mama at 04/10/07 11:53PM
Well we are eating breakfast this morning and guess what is sitting next to Noelani's plate of waffles? Your wedding invitation!! And everyone says people just throw them away! HA HA!!

by crazy_mama at 04/11/07 7:34AM
Congrats on finishing school! Looking forward to the wedding. Have fun planning--you miss out on that with sons. Here's hoping for a sunny day!

by ncreaves at 04/12/07 7:36PM
:) Did you get yours? I sent it!!

by cupa_jo at 04/14/07 10:59AM
yeah...guilty. i didn't know Micah took the head phones out of the computer...

by cupa_jo at 04/16/07 4:20PM
I just want you to know that I'm going to try to make it to your shower next week. If everything goes well we will try to be at church that Sunday and hopefully I'll be able to get out and get you a gift. Hope to see you then!

by crazy_mama at 04/21/07 3:16PM
My mom is here. She's been here for a week and I think she's going to stay another week. We've been so busy with going to the dr. and the my appointment at the dr. and my parent's bought a new car today so I'm looking forward to just resting this next week. I'll let you know if we need something but I think we're pretty good right now. Thanks!

by crazy_mama at 04/21/07 7:50PM
How are the wedding plans coming along?

by zani128 at 04/28/07 10:49AM
Yay! Me too...Warner Robbins is a pretty little drive from Gville. I'd drive across the country for ya, girl! :)

by angenymity at 04/29/07 5:44PM
My brother ran over my foot when I was in high school. Everyone at school thought it was very funny!

by crazy_mama at 05/09/07 1:27PM

I've been tagged. Thanks a lot Bronwyn!

The Rules: Each player of this game starts with the "6 odd or weird things/habits about you". People who get tagged need to write a blog of their own 6 things, and state this rule clearly. At the end, choose 6 people that you're tagging and list their names. Leave them each a comment telling them that they've been tagged!

1. When ever I open a door in public, I have to grab the handle from the bottom of the handle and never at the top.
2. Every time I leave a public bathroom the last thing I notice is if the door opens to the outside or the inside of the bathroom.
3. I never answer the door when I�m at home, unless someone is in the house with me or I know exactly who is coming over. ( I never realized I had a phobia of doors)
4. I can�t eat fries that are pointy, they have to be perfectly flat. Caleb's mom is the only person that has ever noticed that I pick at my fries. One day we were at Wendy's and she asked me why I was searching through my fries.
5. I constantly analysis how I can get things done in the shortest amount of time with the best efficiency.
6. I avoid talking on the phone.

Don't worry I won't tag any of you.

I'm with you on #6! For obvious reasons. :) What do you mean you don't eat fries that are pointy? You are wasting a perfectly edible fry! Does that mean you don't eat Chick Fil A's fries?

by beep_girl at 03/30/07 5:23PM
Wow, I've lived with you and didn't know ANY of those things. I guess that means we haven't seen each other in TOO long!!! How much longer until your big day? How are the plans coming???

by mpettes at 03/30/07 5:32PM
I don't like the phone either! Your weird things are some of my favorites I have heard of! I am sitting here with Kristin and she is laughing and attesting to every single one!

by nillabarr at 03/31/07 9:40PM
Yeah, I'm definately a "word nerd." I'm the same way with your #6 too! Well, now at least you can reach me non-telephonally on Pleo :)

by angenymity at 04/02/07 9:51AM
You are so funny! I don't do #3 either and the other day Noelani and I were eating lunch and someone came to the door (a verizon guy trying to sign us up for new service) and I didn't answer the door and Noelani was freaking out about that. I told her that we don't have to answer the door or the phone if we don't want to and mommy doesn't want to right now! I was alittle too into my lunch and wasn't wearing a bra so I didn't answer it!

by crazy_mama at 04/02/07 7:09PM
very interesting! That reminds me of something I do when I go to a public restroom. I always look and see if there is enough space to crawl under the stall door if the door should get stuck. I guess I'm afraid of getting stuck in a bathroom stall!

by dressednyella at 04/03/07 11:03AM
you are so strange....i miss you, how about lunch Sunday??? my house...

by kris at 04/03/07 10:09PM
I'll come help!...I have already asked Adam and Steph over for Lunch...we'll work that out. Call me later!

by kris at 04/04/07 4:02PM
Oh know, I'm sad to know that there are some girls out there that don't enjoy talking on the phone. I love to talk on the phone.

by vande at 04/05/07 3:40PM
I'm #5 too. I always think of the fastest way to go when I drive. Have yall set a date yet?

by haileym at 04/05/07 7:27PM
No I love Halloween...I even love scary movies but I just have to check my shower curtain every time! :)

And if I didn�t love Halloween I think he would have something to say about it�I think it is his favorite holiday!!!

by trashley at 04/06/07 7:39AM
I enjoyed this afternoon!!!

by nomes at 03/04/07 7:13PM
No we haven't bought a new car yet. We are in the looking mode. If you know of anyone who is selling a car we may be interested. We are not planning on buying any thing new.

by angiebrewer at 03/04/07 9:57PM

by blueturtle at 03/05/07 11:13AM
I am so excited about you and Caleb. Where are you getting married? When's the date?

You can pack for me anytime!

by vav at 03/06/07 9:16PM
how many invations do i need to think about ordering?

by blueturtle at 03/06/07 11:13PM
Did you end up with something good for Dinner last night?

by kris at 03/07/07 10:04PM
When you start teaching full time, you should definately look into educational tours. The tour group I'm hooking up with is EF Tours. Sign up 6 students and your trip is paid. www.eftours.com :)

by angenymity at 03/07/07 10:13PM
I'm not a big fan of unsolicited advice, so I'm sorry if that came across wrong!!

by angenymity at 03/08/07 7:06PM
what school are you interning at? and what grade? is caleb still doing or wanting to do education?

by bronwynisastar at 03/09/07 4:35PM
If you let her she would take the whole thing over!

by crazy_mama at 03/12/07 2:40PM
I did make it back ok...and yes, it did stink.

by upintheair at 03/12/07 2:49PM
I'm in TX now. I'm thinking I'll be back to GA next week or the week after. Hopefully I'll see you then!

by lumpy at 03/19/07 9:05PM
no he hasn't read it...he never even looks at Pleonast, he could care less about it...he gets online to look at sports scores, plane tickets, find projects to build, and do work, nothing else. how is your week?

by kris at 03/20/07 9:59PM

Everyone please welcome the rest of the family...the parents. Now we just have to get Caleb on here.

by loveofjebs at 03/02/07 9:10PM
what school/grade are you interning at?

by bronwynisastar at 03/03/07 9:42AM
To put a bug in your ear....San Cristobal is a great honeymoon spot!

Sometimes you have to...

at 02/27/07 5:49PM

Be a kid again!

Today I reverted back to the days of childhood. After school today I came home and ate a bowl of cereal for a "snack". Then I went and played outside with my bestfriend by going for a bike ride. The menu for tonights dinner will be mac and cheese with hot dogs. And to conclude the evening...well I must get ready for school tomorrow, hehe.

The moral of the story...

Remember to do the simple things in life.

When you work on tying your shoes, I recommend loop-and-swoop over bunny ears. Also, no matter what airplane noises the person feeding you makes, don't eat the brussel sprouts. ;)

by ryang at 02/27/07 5:51PM
LOVE that! HA! Good for you! :)

by DessertDiva at 02/27/07 5:55PM
how fun!

by megan at 02/27/07 8:38PM
I'm gold thanks to him. I like it. Now, let's see if i linked this properly...

by nomes at 02/27/07 8:47PM
Woo hoo. i did. :)

by nomes at 02/27/07 8:48PM
Sounds like a great way to spend your day. Don't you sometimes wish you could be a kid again where you don't have to pay a mortgage and you didn't know that you had to pay for water (I remember when I found out you had to pay for water...sad day for me!)

by crazy_mama at 02/28/07 12:50AM
Amen!

by dressednyella at 02/28/07 3:47AM
We've visited Germany twice since coming overseas (we have a friend in Frankfurt). We loved it both times! Where did you live?

by dressednyella at 02/28/07 3:54AM
i had an impulse for mac and cheese too! we had it last night for dinner and then went for a walk and then came in and watched little miss sunshine. hillarious!

we still on for coffee tonight?

by blueturtle at 02/28/07 8:08AM
Haha! Look at my blog! Funny thing about that story...I had cereal when we got in, made hamburger helper for dinner, did homework, and watched a new Jeff Foxworthy show that consists of all elementary school trivia..Let's NEVER grow up! [x]

by kris at 02/28/07 1:00PM
here's a motto, though perhaps its along a bit different line of thought: you can't stay young forever, but you can at least stay immature. :)

by dbsmelser at 02/28/07 1:04PM
Hi Erika..Brad and I were so excited for you and Caleb. Brad is looking forward to the Spring Break trip with Caleb. FunFun!

by lw at 02/28/07 4:44PM
our friendship is meant to be...i don't know anyone else other than Aaron and I who eat those! YUMMY!

by kris at 02/28/07 6:33PM
