Early Precious Baby

Well I got a call on Tuesday night saying that the teacher's water broke and if I could start Wednesday.  Of course I was very excited to start, and very excited for Slay Broke to enter the world.  Lucky for me, it's the last  bit of the year so my days have consisted for Christmas parties, hot chocolate, desserts, movies, and coloring.  The kids are delightful and I'm so excited to get to teach them for a short while next semester.  Tomorrow is our field trip and everyone in the elementary is going to Tinseltown to see a movie.  Of course it was 70 degrees on Tuesday and it's looking like snow for our Friday!  Only in Texas right?  Pray that it goes smoothly, safely, and that no little babies get too cold!


CONGRATULATIONS KRISTIN AND GARRETT! I can't wait for ya'll to finally get married!  I couldn't be more excited for ya'll, and know and pray that God is going to do big things with ya'lls relationship!


We are all getting very excited about the ski trip coming up soon!  Even though I'm TERRIFIED to ski, I'm going to suck it up and try it out again :)  Pictures will be posted after!  We are EVEN MORE excited about Christmas coming up and getting to see both of our wonderful families! 


Hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas break :)

Prayers for a Baby Answered

No, no, not us :)

Last year Sean and I jokingly prayed that a teacher would get pregnant in the Spring of 2010 so I could have a long term sub job after I finished student teaching.  God is good!  I got a call from a wonderful district yesterday offering me a long term sub position for a 4th grade reading and social studies classroom!  She's due over the Christmas break so I'll start the beginning of January!  Even though I'm nervous about being in a 4th grade room, I'm very excited because I have been wanting to try an upper grade classroom, especially reading and social studies!  Pray that God would teach me and make me a better teacher through this process.  As my Dad said yesterday, "Your classroom is your mission field," so pray that I see it as that everyday.


Don't forget to sign up for a Perspectives class that is in your area for the Spring semester.  I know it looks expensive but it's worth it! Perspectives has been the best experience for Sean and I!

Days at Daybreak

Sean and I are spending another beautiful Saturday at Daybreak up in LBK.  It's our favorite coffee shop up here.  After a wonderful Thanksgiving break of seeing our friends and family, we're excited to be back up here in our very "Christmasy" home.  

Thanksgiving was very refreshing and encouraging to see everyone.  It consisted of going to Mark and Meagan Blanscet's wedding (wahoo, congrats!) with my family, heading down to Austin to spend some amazing time with our 3rd family the Cottons, and then finally ending the trip in Cypress with The Townsends!  We had so much fun at our first Townsend Thanksgiving!  Sean and I are so blessed to have such godly families.  Here are a few things we did in Cypress:

- Went and saw Mr. T's new plane!  Sean even rode in it!

- Visited with Grandma and Grandpa

- Hung out with Lora, Pat, and Kaylee

- Shopped at Cypress outlet mall

- Had a lovely, encouraging, fun dinner with Bethy Mot!

- Met precious Jane!

- Watched Dumb and Dumber with Jane.....oh Townsend traditions :)

- Helped make Thanksgiving dinner!

- Played Phase 10....which I won by the way :)

- Watched ESPN, watched more ESPN, watched even more ESPN haha I love it!

- Cheered on the Aggies as they killed TU! Whoop!
