Hooray!

Ryan and I bought a new car tonight! I am very excited. Look for pictures ASAP. It's a 2006 Toyota Corolla S. It's sooo sporty (I say cute, but Ryan does not like that)I always felt bad that I wrecked my car and got a new one bc his Eclipse was so much older than my Honda. Well, in not as good of shape. So now I feel better that he has a nice car.

If you could keep Ryan's sister, mom, step dad, and grandparents in your prayers it would be appreciated. They live in Corpus, Galveston, and Houston Texas. His sister is also 8-9 months pregnant. We hope they get out of town and away from hurricane Rita.

In other news - by the time people read this I will be 24! Hooray, Ryan and I are the same age. He surprised me when I came home and the first floor was covered in balloons and he had bought a crown for me to wear because I am the queen :-) I am going to wear my crown to work tomorrow. Maybe.

174 days to go :-)

Well, one week of school is down. I have some really bright, cute, kids this year. I now have 19 students, I recieved a child who relocated from New Orleans. So I'm glad to be helping someone impacted by Katrina in a direct way. One student saw me eating yogurt at lunch (we have to eat with the kids the first 9 days of school). He was like, "I saw that yogurt on t.v., it helps you lose weight". ALl day he kept telling the other students, "The teacher is losing weight!" So cute!

Higher?!?!?

So an update on my post from yesterday...on the way home from work, gas was up to $3.47!!!!!!!!! Now, some stations are still at around $2.80...I don't understand how there can be such large differences within a mile or two. On another note, today is my first day to meet the kids and teachers. We have Back to School day, from 2-3. Wish me luck with my 18 new students (12 boys!!!!!)
