Back

So, after my 5 month hiatus, I may be back! Nothing really exciting is happening... besides wedding planning and teaching... and of course painting - but I will try to keep this blog updated a little better :-)

Happy Spring

10/11/09

Today, Adam and I were watching Sunday Morning (an old man news station where the guy wears a bow tie) and I was down about it being Sunday and the weekend coming to an end. Adam walked out and went into the kitchen. I thought he was getting water, but nope! He walked back into the family room and asked me to marry him!!!! He got me THE MOST beautiful diamond ring!! I was so stinking surprised! He came over early on Friday and asked my dad, which I didn't know either!! I hate not knowing things!! So, when he asked me, it was so surreal, I thought it was a joke, or a trick, or something!! Anyways, I said yes and now, we are engaged :-)

Here are some of the photos we have ... thus far:

Baiji Class 2009-2010

Aren't they cute?! This is my first class :-) It was very exciting having Open House all day on Tuesday and a full day of school today. The students are all so cute and eager to learn (I hope!!!) Their personalities are all so different, it makes a great blend =) Looking forward to a great year!!!

It Is ALL Mine Now

So... Mom got this adorable Vera Bradley lunch bag that we both loved!! I begged her all summer to have it and she always said "No" :-( I caught her in a weak moment and she said, "If you get a job this year, you can have it." I honestly wasn't putting too much 'hope' into getting my Hope Garden VB lunch bag, but I sure was wishing!

Well, guess who has to use their old lunch bag this year?!

Clue: Not me!!


Thanks Mom :-)

Stuck

Dad took Bella up to his room and put her in their basket. At first, she was curious about her location (top left) then... she became curious (top right) followed by a look of "HELP PLEASE" (bottom left) and then... "I'm Free - - - so I will eat this!!"

She is getting her big girl teeth in and is so funny about eating ANYTHING and EVERYTHING :-)

Love her

Bella the Ballerina

Last week, I went and visited Adam at his new apartment. We made a wonderful batch of Chex Mix - - - so, I had to bring some home! Bella rang the bell to go potty and instead of giving her one of her treats, I gave her a piece of Chex Mix!! You would have thought I gave her a Porterhouse steak!

That is Bella doing her "Sit up pretty / Dance" move to get her treat - - - isn't she sweet?!

Adam Moves!

Adam moved from his apartment in East Lansing to his new apartment in Okemos on Friday! His dad and mom drove the Penske truck and we drove the car - - - the whole 3 mile drive. Bella found a nice box with a blanket in it and made that her home for the day of moving. She snuggled up with her bear and ball and slept the day away. He has a cute little kitchen table with a runner and lamp and then his family room is right there with 2 love seats and a chair (with his new slip covers and decorative pillows)! He is so excited about them!! He has a lovely kitchen with decorative towels on his oven that he will not let anyone use!! He has other matching ones for use! His bedroom is his favorite room - - -The GREAT DIVIDE! Michigan State by his bead, Michigan by his desk! It is very cool, actually! He is so proud of his new home. . . he ought to be. . . it is very cute! It's his home sweet home :-)
