What's Been Going On This Week

-Only 51 school days left until summer!
-Brenton and Christa's first anniversary is coming up on April 5th. I can't believe that they have been married a year already!
-We are planning to take Trent to the park this weekend. It is going to be beautiful, and he loves being outside!
-We are making green milkshakes at school for St. Patty's Day! I love St. Patty's Day; it's a lot of fun. I have my St. Patty's Day shirt ready! Nobody will be able to pinch me! :)
-Mom and Dad are in the midst of planning our week at the lake. It looks like we will go around the first of June. We will rent a condo at Lake Weiss for the week like last summer. It was an absolute BLAST, so we are really looking forward to going again. Dad is in search of Christa and I new fishing rods before we go. We both love fishing so much and can really hang with the boys when it comes to catching the fish. Of course, little Brigsby will be making the trip with us again this year! Dad is renting us jet skis too! YAY!
-I love my parapro, Mrs. Cagle. School would not be the same without her. I am INCREDIBLY thankful for her friendship and guidance.
-The Bachelor finale was TERRIBLE. I am never watching again! Right, Ingrid and Jen?!
-Lauren, Lindy, and Chandler are such blessings to me. They can turn a bad day around in a second. Love those kiddos to pieces. Just talking to them on the phone brightens many days for me.
-To buy a house or not to buy a house: that is the question!! I'm majorly pondering that...
-Mall of GA on the 21st with Kaci; we are on the hunt for spring/summer clothes! Shopping really is the best therapy, right Kac?
-Kindergarten Planning Day was Wednesday and was really fun! We got to have lunch at Chili's and had a great time telling stories and laughing together. I love to laugh.
-I love my big brother. I mean, I simply adore that boy. It's the little things that he does for me that mean the most. He'll never know how much he means to me.
-Patience is a lesson that I seem to continually be learning.
-My Nana will be 83 this month. She still gets around with the best of them. Love her bunches.
-The Lord is still the captain of the ship that is my life...even when I don't understand what He's doing. I know one day I will though, so I'm pressing forward... even when it seems impossible to do so.
-Ju is the big sister that I never had. Oh, how thankful I am for her (and Ben too). I can't think of a time that she's not been there when I needed her. I hope that's the kind of friend that I am to others.
-My uncle JD is very sick with cancer. I love him to pieces and am very concerned. My thoughts are continually with him (and my Aunt Lucille) throughout my days.
-Did I mention that there are only 51 school days left until summer??!!

-Brooke :)

Winter Break Is Almost Here...

We will have a four day school week this week and next week as well. We are out of school on Friday and Monday for Winter Break. This will be SO nice! And, it's Valentine's weekend, so that makes it even better. I am really excited about Valentine's Day this year...the most excited that I've been about it in a very long time. Such a nice change...

Little Trent Bug spent the night with me on Saturday night, and we had a fun time! I love just laying in bed with him and playing. There's nothing better than when he first wakes up. I go get him from his crib and put him in the bed with me, and he's always in the happiest mood. On Sunday evening, Mom, Dad, and I took him to the park to swing and slide. I slid down the slide with him and he loved it, but he REALLY loved swinging. He laughed out loud so many times, and I got some really cute pictures. This weekend, I also bought his first pair of shoes for summer. They are so cute; got them from Old Navy for $7! Now I am on the lookout for him some swimming trunks, b/c I plan on spending some time with him at the pool this summer. I think he'll love it! Brenton came over last night to see Trent and played with him for a while. Trent loved it and is crazy about Brenton.

We have a new Mexican restaurant that opened this weekend that is literally two minutes from my house. I am SO excited about this, because there is not really anything that close to me. Mom, Dad, Trent, and I went last night to try it out, and we are so excited that it was so good, and the people were very friendly. I'm looking forward to going again soon. It's so nice to have something close by now!

I am REALLY ready for a vacation. It has been TOO long! I hope to go somewhere over Spring Break. I've been to Savannah once, but I was very young, and I don't remember much about it. I'd really love to go there again; I hear it is beautiful, and I really want to go to Paula Deen's restaurant. Both my brother and grandmother have been recently and said it is AMAZING! I love Paula Deen; she is such a hoot! I might try to make a trip to Savannah over the break; that's what I'm thinking right now, but of course that could change.

I'm already getting spring fever. I'm ready to plant flowers again. I love doing that. The weather this past weekend really made me long for spring. It is by far my favorite season, and I'm ready for it to get here. I enjoy sitting on my porch and reading in the evenings. I love taking Brigsby for walks. It's just a great time of year!
