I have been a very bad blogger! School this semester is kicking my tail! So glad I decided to do grad school full time and not try to teach at the same time...I might have gone crazy! I haven't had much blog worthy in my life anyway, just spending lots o' time with the fam when I'm not in school.

I am uber excited because Mr. Fix-It gets to come home tonight! The past 2 weeks haven't been as bad as I thought they might be thanks to the busy school schedule. I think we might be going to see the Bodies exhibit in the ATL this weekend - I have been begging him to go to this! I am a science nerd!

Kelly at It's Not Easy Being Me tagged folks to post pics...thought I'd indulge. Kelly is wonderful! Her hubby was my high school ag teacher / mentor - love them!

This is me and a piggy during my student teaching days. I was involved in FFA throughout high school and got my degree in agricultural education. I'm giving Petunia a haircut to get her ready to go into the showring...I miss these days!

Leavin' on a jet plane...

Or driving 10 hours...either way, Mr. Fix-It is officially in Baltimore. Suprisingly, I was not as sad as I thought I would be. It isn't like we won't see each other, either. Although the way his mother was acting this morning you'd think that he was never going to return.I'm looking forward to getting my fill of girl time in while he's away. I can already tell he's homesick though. Looks like I will be sending some "southern comfort" care packages north soon!

I'm alive

Hello friends! I've been MIA lately due to a nasty cold and lots of schoolwork. I have enjoyed reading your blogs though I haven't been commenting with regularity. Yesterday I was enjoying a little siesta when Mr. Fix-It called to tell me he had to work today and wouldn't be coming home but that I he would love some company in Augusta. As my BFF Tay put it, it was a "no-booty, booty call" I threw a bag together in record time and flew like a bat outta hades down there. We went to dinner at Takosushi with Mr. Fix-It's college roomate and his grilfriend and then went to see Grand Torino, which I recommend! All in all, a very fun night, worth an interrupted nap!

Thursday thoughts

I got a call this morning that my lab results came back negative! Whew! I wasn't too concerned but it is great to get that news!

Today we had our first Global Seminar class. This semester we are linked through video conference to campuses in Unide, Italy, Boku Vienne and Japan! It was really cool to see how similar all college students are, no matter where in the world. We were all kinda like little kids waving at each other!

Today is the kind of day that makes me miss teaching! All my friends are at the camp ( which is only like 30 minutes from my house so I could reasonably got visit) for Mid-Winter Conference. I miss my peeps! I'll leave with a pic from the good ol' days.
This was the week before graduation. We took a "senior trip" to PCB. I love these girls!

Full swing

Classes are a week old and back in full swing - hence my absence from blogging. I've had a busy busy week! I'm taking a math class....pray for me. I don't have a head for numbers at all! It's going well though. I adore my professor - she is super cute and has great style! Most of my classes are online though so that's nice.

Monday I went to the dermatologist to have an evaluation. I have a high risk for skin cancer so I figured I should start going for a yearly visit. The doc found three abnormalities and removed them for biopsy. I'm not too nervous about them but if y'all would say a quick prayer that everything is ok I'd appreciate it!

It is way too cold to be GA! There is the chance for snow this weekend! Snow would be so much fun but we usually get a "wintery mix" and thats just sloppy and gross. I'm personally praying for a warm front to move back in!

Weekend Update

This weekend was fun! I was so happy to learn that I get to have Mr. Fix-It for one last weekend before he transfers to Baltimore! Friday night when he got home we chilled on the sofa and watched the first of the original star wars movies because I had never seen them and he thought that was crazy - he's a fan. Suprisingly, I was too. I'm going to watch them all because it does seem slightly un-american not to.

Saturday was rainy so we once again stayed put and watched movies all day. That night, I met my BFF Taylor for dinner and drinks and then we went to see Colt Ford in concert. I have a confession to make. I have an inner redneck. I like country music, jacked up loud trucks, drinkin a cold beer and country boys. I didn't think I was going to like the concert but the inner redneck came out and I had a blast! His music is just hilarious!

Today we had a wonderful church service and this evening I made chicken and dumplings for dinner. De-lish. Hope y'all have a fab Monday!
