New Look/Sorry Everyone!

So... I haven't blogged since April..... WOW! A lot has happened/changed since then.

Since I last blogged:
1. Mikel's Parents came to visit us. We had a great time together, went to the grand canyon, the zoo and just were plain lazy tourists. LOL!

Carol (Mom), Mikel, Me, Carl (Dad)

2. I survived Finals week made: 3 A's and one B.

3. Mikel and I went back to FL for a trip. We had a great time in FL! We went to the Heidi and Jerold's Wedding, my mom's graduation (So proud of her!), the beach and spent much time with friends and family. :)

Me, Mommy, & Grammy

4. Summer classes started for me about 3 weeks ago. I only have one class so hopefully I will keep up with my blogging better. My hubby also started one of his last 3 classes for his Associate of Science. :D

5. I got my placement for Student Teaching (aka my teaching internship). I will be working with 4th graders in a school 15min away from where we live.

6. Mikel, my husband, got switched to mid-shift aka night shift. He now goes into work between midnight and 2am each night/morning (Whatever you want to call it). Tonight he goes into work at 1am... Just 2hrs from now.

7. We adopted a Chinese Water Dragon. They get to be 3 feet long. Right now our lil guy "Toothless" is about 6 inches long.

Well, there's my update. I am sorry I never finished the A to Z challenge. Things got crazy and I got behind and then it got to the point of that there was no way to catch it back up.... :/

I am an Aunt!!!

My Nephew: Colton Clay born 1/31/2012 at 12:20pm EST 8lbs, 6oz and 21 inches.

The above is the newest news. Today my nephew was born. Both mom and baby are doing great! I am so happy and proud to be an aunt!!! On another note... I finished his quilt. He was born at 34weeks so I mailed it last week and it should be getting to their house today... a little late... but hey, at least they got it! Here are pics of the finished quilt!

FL was loads of fun, of course I wish I could have spent more time there!!! We went to Legoland and tons of fun there. I also got to see my newest cousin AJ.

My brothers and hubby had some fun posing infront of walls at Legoland.

Anyway, FL was loads of fun. We are going back to FL in May for a wedding. :D School is going well. Only taking 4 classes is weird... I have always taken more than 4... LOL! We get the keys to our new house on the 15th and do the big move on the 18th. I am so excited to have a 3 bedroom 2 bathroom house. Here are a couple of pictures of our new home.

So I hope the last couple weeks have been treating you well! Happy blogging!!!

This week: 1/13/2012~~I Passed!!!!

PRAISE GOD FROM WHOM ALL BLESSINGS FLOW!!!!!!!!!

I passed all three of my (FTCEs) Florida Educator Certification Exams. :) I took Professional Education, Elementary Ed K-6 & Exceptional Student Education. I am sooooooooo happy right now!!!!!

School is a little crazy and it has just begun. I cannot believe one of my teacher requires me to write 2 papers this week on top of discussion posts. I have so much reading to do this week, I haven't worked on it yet because of taking my tests these last 3 days. LOL! I don't want to read! I don't want to read... PLEASE don't make me!!! LOL!!

Tonight we are having a party(not because I passed). Over 200 people were invited to my parents house. Its going to be one crazy night!!! Its a late New Years party, as my family always does one and was in TN and a come see Mikel & Angela party combined. We are expecting around 100 people to come to the party today.

So far I am having a good vacation. I wish we had more time to spend with family... but that's ok. :( We do get to come back in May.

Hope you have had a great week!

Missing people

Its so hard being here with my friends and family and not wanting to cry because I know I only got a few more days with them, and then I won't see them again till may or later... I hate living over a thousand miles away from everyone I love and hold so dear... I know this past 8 months I have learned a lot about relying on God and trusting my hubby; But I still don't like being soo far away from everyone... all my sibblings are growing up and I am not here for it. I don't know its just hard! Am I even making sense?? 

On another note, All I can say is that I love having blogger on my phone so I can lay in bed at night and type away without having to get out the laptop. Lol!

I hope your Monday was good and if you started school again today that you made it through the day!!
Happy Tuesday!

Going to FL

I am currently sitting in the airport waiting on our flight to go to FL. I am so excited!!! I cannot wait to see my friends and family again! We board the plane in about 30min. We will arrive in FL at 3:45pm. I miss everyone so much!

On another note, classes started today and look like they will be intense... But I am almost done! I can do it! =)

Anyway, due to being in FL and school starting, I may not post for a lil while. But I will at least get on to respond to any comments and to view my bloggy friends posts.

Hope you have a great Monday!
