Last Competition and the Weekend...

We had our final competition on Saturday at Roswell High School. WE WON! The girls did awesome, and I'm so glad that the judges thought so too! It was a great way to end the season! No we have sectionals and state that we will go to with Varsity, but our season is done, so NO MORE LATE NIGHT PRACTICES! That's definitely the best part. I have really enjoyed coaching, but I'm ready for a break. I've missed my friends and family. I haven't got to spend as much time with them since we've been in season.

We had our Fall Festival at school on Friday night. It was a great success even though it had to be moved inside due to the rain. J and I had a booth/game, and it was a huge hit! My room mom did a great job organizing it! It was fun, but I was definitely very tired by the end of it. By the time it was said and done, I had been at school for about 13 hours that day. I was definitely ready to go home! I did buy a super cute purse for winter, and I'm super excited about that.

Saturday night, Rachel and I went out and she crashed at my place. We were definitely at the Waffle House at like 2 in the morning. There's really nothing like that! Haha! We had fun hanging out, and I'm having fun getting to know her. I believe that the Lord placed us in each other's lives at just the right time...when we needed each other the most.

This week should be kinda calm which is a huge plus. Friday night, I'm going trick or treating with Julie and the kids. Lauren is a witch, Lindy is a gypsy, and Chandler is Mario. They will be adorable as always I'm sure. Friday is also Pay Day, which is always a great day! :)

The Weekend

I had a great weekend! Rachel, Stacey, and I hung out in Kennesaw on Friday night and had a great time with many, many laughs. We all went home with new additions to our wardrobe, so that is always a good night! Saturday, we had a cheer competition at Gordon Central. My JV girls overcame some tough circumstances before they even hit the floor, yet they went out and put an AWESOME routine on the floor. I was so proud of them and proud to be their coach. My mom, dad, and college friend Ingrid came, and I was so glad to have them there. It meant so much to me that they came to support my girls. We have one more competition at Roswell this weekend, and then we will look forward to Sectionals and State with Varsity! Saturday night, Rachel came over and hung out at my place and we had a great time sitting around and having girl talk :). This weekend, we have plans to go out with friends, so I'm looking forward to that. She is a great friend, and I'm so thankful for her. God seems to always know when we need special friends in our lives.

School is going well so far this week, and Friday will be a big day. Book Character Day, Fall Party, and Fall Festival. Our Kindergarten team is dressing up as Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. I was nominated to be Snow White, so that should be pretty funny. I will post pictures when I can.

First Blog

Hey guys! I'm going to try this blogging thing. After my good friend Ingrid starting doing this, I thought it was a cool way to keep up with friends. I'm not great at keeping up with things like this, but I'm going to give it my best shot! :)

My mom and I took a trip to Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg last weekend while I was on Fall Break. It was absolutely perfect weather! We had the most wonderful time shopping, eating, and giggling! It was a much needed trip, and I came back with much less cash that I went with! It was pretty crowded there, but that was to be expected this time of year. The leaves were absolutely gorgeous there. They are already starting to decorate for Christmas! It is always so pretty there at Christmas.

WHS Cheerleading is in full force! We have had two competitions thus far. We placed 2nd at Cartersville and 1st at Pepperall. We are practicing everyday as we still have two competitions left. This weekend we compete at Gordon Central, and I am so excited that some of my family and friends will be coming to support my girls. I hope we do as well as we did at our last competition. I could not have been a more proud coach at Pepperall. Our Varsity is doing great as well, and I am really looking forward to the trip to Columbus in a few weeks when we cheer them on at state! We're hoping for a FOURTH state championship! That would be awesome!

My students are coming along at school. I have already seen so much progress in so many of them. Their writing has absolutely amazed me. We have been writing, writing, and writing some more! It seems that progress is definitely being made. It's so cool to be a part of these children's lives and to see them grow throughout the year. They have such neat little personalities, and it is so true that they say the funniest things! They are so impressionable at this age, and I pray that I am good role model for them.

My apartment is all decorated for fall and looks so great. I have already been buying up Christmas decorations. I can't wait to decorate for that. I am going with a snowman theme, because I love them so much. My tree will be ALL snowmen! :)

I hope everyone is having a great week!
