in my office...

I have the following hanging on my wall in my office. I think it's fabulous. Make sure your volume is up to get the full effect.

lookie!!!

So I am a family & consumer science teacher. It is really a lot of fun but I am forever exhausted by hearing "oh we have that at our school???" or "where's S112??!!!!" So today, as part of my teacher prep week before school starts next tuesday, I put my artsy fartsy skills to work. And lookie what I've done!




I think they are fabulously cute, and bring quite a bit of attention to my classrooms in the hallway. Nobody else has anything like this in the building, and I LOVE it. Although I have given lots of people the idea, and it is taking off. I'm not done - I'd like to decorate them a little more, add some sparkle, if you will. But the basics are there. And I love it. And I did it all freehand.

a letter to a sister.

Dear Katie,

Remember how you took a video of our house? SOoo uhh... how did that turn out? Will you share it? Please??

Love, Sara.

home improvements.

We've done a few things since family has been here to make our home a little more homey. The very first thing we did was hang a clock we got for our wedding. We love it.

Here is my husband being very manly. He likes to be very manly. When everyone was unloading stuff from the wedding reception, he carried three cases of water up two flights of stairs. All the womenfolk (and maybe some of the menfolk too) were gasping at the manliness of my husband. So Tony is putting an anchor in the wall, on which we will hang our clock.


And here is the finished product. We love it. It'd be even cooler if we put a fun color behind it. We'll work on that. Maybe one day we'll paint.

the party before the party!

So as is tradition, lovely friends (my sweet Sundee and Laura and Cristy) threw the party (who my Dad still thinks is "Sunday" because he says "Sunday" as if it were Sundee. He doesn't do that with any other day of the week. Just Sunday.). We had a little bridal shower at Sundee's home. It was fabulous and I was delighted to have some close friends there, and to spend the evening laughing our heads off. WE didn't play any dumb games (THANK YOU!!!!) (I don't care for shower games much). We just had some dinnerish and sat around and laughed and talked. It was SO MUCH FUN!!! So here are a few pictures from the evening...

The whole group - I had a great time - thank you all for partying with me!!

TADAAAA!!! Here we are - just arrived in Cancun after a LONG day in the airports, and we were waiting for our shuttle to the hotel. I was amazed at how organized and structured they had everything. We didn't have to lift a finger our entire vacation. Right there is about as much as we touched our suitcases.




So this is the resort - the pool and one of the restaurants (the roundish building there to the rightish in the picture) and my sweet husband.

Here's the water - oh my heav was it clear and beautiful. Each little dark spot was a spot of sea grass. That's how clear the water was - you could see the sea grass from a distance!! (this is taken from the boat on our snorkeling/isla mujeres trip)

This was the view from our oceanfront room. We didn't pay for oceanfront. They just gave it to us. It was GORGEOUS! Do we look like we were photoshopped in? We weren't. It was just the effect of the flash from being on the balcony.

This was before guitar hero and dinner one night. This was the night we got HOOKED on guitar hero. We have since purchased the game for the wii. We pretty much love it. But not more than we love each other, don't worry.
