Coming out of hibernation

So, I took an unexpected leave from blogging. School was crazy and I just needed to focus. But I'm back with good news...I have a job interview today! It's with a school that is literally 5 mins from my house. It's in the same system I taught last year but is a high school position....my interview is at 1:30 - I'd appreciate the prayers! Hopefully I will return later today with good news!

Baltimore Bound!

This weekend I am going to visit Mr. Fix-It in Baltimore! Anyone ever visited the city> Suggesstions on where to go? I think we are going to go to the U.S.S Constellation, Ft. McHenry and the National Aquarium...any other ideas?

Jelly Legs

I. Can't. Move.

Since the weather has been so glorious over the past few days - 70 degrees in february, I'll take it!- I have decided to get outside and get active. And by get active I mean jog two miles. Did I mention I haven't really jogged or exercised since probably October? Unless running to the kitchen for another piece of cake counts...

I have however slept quite soundly the past few nights.

We belong in the Zoo!

What a wonderful weekend! Mr. Fix-It was home this weekend! Friday night we had dinner with his parents and then went shopping and out for drinks. Saturday morning Mr. Fix-It endeared himself to me...we went to the zoo! I have lived my whole life no more than 2 hrs from the ATL and had never been to Zoo Atlanta. The weather was BEAUTIFUL and it was a great day to be outside. The only bummer...my battery in my camera was dead so no pics :( But we got to see the new baby pandas and fun critters like meerkats, flamingos, and oranguntans, which might have just been my favorite. They came up to the window and were watching the visitors watching them :) The lion was very vocal that day and ran a close second as my fave!

After we left the zoo we went to the cyclorama, which depicts the Battle of Atlanta. Mr. Fix-It had never been which I found hard to believe because he is a HUGE civil war buff.

That afternoon we met my BFF and took her sweet pup Izzy to the park for awhile and then went to dinner. Such a fun day!

Sunday we went to church and just chilled with his family. I had gone to church with my parents for the past 2 weekends so it was good to get back to our church and worship together. All in all a great, although too short, weekend!

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!
