wanna play catch up?!?!

Well I finally got caught up (mostly)at work, since im only here like 10 hours a week i get behind. Luckily I have bonnie to cover me while im off student teaching.so i thought while i have a minute i will update. Everything is going perfectly. I have gotten use to my busy schedule and actually am enjoying it, but its coming to an end in a week and a half. I will officially be done with my student teaching a week from friday and honestly i am sad, but happy at the same time. Mostly im excited to see a normal pay check, other than that i don't want to stop student teaching, it really shows me that i am going into the right field for my career. I absolutely love teaching, though some days are rough, there really is nothing more i would rather be doing with my life. Other than that a few things have happened....We went to Vegas for nascar (like we do every year) it was so much fun and i loved spending time with my family, they are so amazing ALL of them. It amazes me how different each person in my family is, but we all get along and have so much fun together. Meanwhile in Vegas anthony and I had our one year, Well kind of. We got married on leap day so technically we only have an aniversary once every four years, which is great because then we don't have to celebrate it every year and get each other gifts and all that crap. But every four years we are going to do something BIG we decided.

Well our first year of marriage was honestly different than i expected. I knew anthony for 10 yrs before we started dating and we were glued at the hip for a year and a half before we got married, so i thought it wouldn't be any different even though everyone told me it was. It really was a lot different and a lot harder, but in a good way I wouldn't change any of it for the world. And I honestly couldn't dream of being with anyone besides anthony for the rest of my life. Every trial we have gone through in this first year has only made us stronger as a couple and as individuals. So even though so many people said it is so hard I think it is only hard in a good way. I am so lucky to have such an amazing husband. He is by far the biggest sweetheart I have ever met in a man. He does anything i want and always sacrifices the things that he wants so he can give me something i want even if i dont ask for it, he picks up on little things and knows when i need or want something really bad so he goes and does it for me. he truly is the love of my life and i am so happy to wake up to him every morning knowing that he is the one that will always be there. ya enough with the mushy crap! so i thought i would post some fun pictures of our wedding day and our reception. our wedding day was feb 29, 08 and our reception was may 1 08. We did it this way becuase i was in school and couldn't plan a wedding and we just wanted to be married so we just went to vegas with our families and had a ceremony in a chapel that my dad's friend owns. it ended up being beautiful and i couldn't have asked for more.






Now here is some of the reception photos. I still havent gotten the professional pictures back so hopefully since it has been over a year i will get them soon, but these pics are some my family members took.Honestly i could have done without the reception, big parties where the attention is on me is just not my thing but it really was fun overall. and still i thank both of our parents for everything they do for us still and everything they did for us getting the wedding plans together especially dealing with anthony and i. we are the biggest procrastinators in the world so our poor moms had the extra stress of worrying if we were going to take care of our "jobs" anyway hope you enjoy the pictures.








Ok yes I know this is a blog overload, but take what you can get alright. here are some pics from vegas...and yes my hair is now dark red so tell me what you think.

Congratulations on making it through the first year! I agree, it is difficult in a good way. If Brad and I hadn't had the trials we did, we wouldn't be as strong as we are now. I really like the hair too, it's way cute.
