May has arrived

Well, as I look at the calendar I find that we have finally arrived at the month of May. As I look through the calendar I am seeing that it is going to be a pretty busy month. After all the first weekend of May has already proven itself as a busy but fun time. Friday started out with Ben and I going to a party for Deales on Wheels. It was so much fun to see her and meet some new people. Ben and I are very punctual people which is a good thing but on Friday we made it to the party even a few minutes earlier than the guests of honor. Which is kinda funny but so Ben and I.

Saturday I woke up to what looked like a rainy day. I started the day off by catching up on some of my favorite shows that I had DVR'D during the week. After that I met Ben and his brother, nephew, and dad all at Golf's for lunch. After that Ben and I went to see the movie Ghosts of Girlfriends past. I think we both enjoyed it. After that we just hung out and got ready for a surprise birthday party for a friend. It was raining so much that I felt like we were in a paddle boat on to our next even. It was a great time with great music: The Owen Temple Band and then some great food and fun dancing. As we left the rain which had stopped during the party had returned which meant a great nights sleep and a great end to a fun weekend.

April comes to an end

So, today I went to sub at a school and was asked if I was a 6th grader by who as it turns out to be the principal of the school. I know I look young but really 6th grade, really?!?!?! When I walked into the office I even had on my BADGE that said SUBSTITUTE TEACHER! Now, I know that sixth graders these days are REALLY tall does that mean that any one shorter than them must be in elementary school? What do you the reader think?

a busy Tuesday

Today I went to get measured and order a bridesmaids dress for my friends wedding that I am in in September. The time of day I went was a great time to go. I was able to get in and get everything fairly quickly, so I am glad that I have that taken care of and will just have to pick up the dress in June. Also, today I emailed a million people about possible jobs and to send out my resume to them. So on that front I am still plugging away.

Busy Weekend

Today is only Saturday, and yet it has already been a really busy weekend. I started yesterday off with just not doing anything after a LONG day of substitute teaching with first grade. This morning started out busy. I woke up and got ready to go to the Richardson ISD job fair. It was indeed an experience. I had to wait in line outside for almost an hour just to get into the building. I feel this is one thing to hear about on the news and read about on the internet but to experience in person is something else. One big observation I noted was all of the older people changing careers or going back to teaching after an absence due to a spouse being laid off or just not being able to find a job in their desired field. So, once I got into the building and checked in I went on to the elementary gym where there were a lot of people crammed into a small area all doing their best to sell themselves in about 2 minutes along with giving the resume to the people working the job fair. So after giving out many resumes and talking to many schools I decided my work was finished for the day. Then I went by to find a family friend who works at the district to talk with her for a few minutes and after that my friend who came with me and I left. All and all we left around noon and spent a good amount of time there I thought.

This afternoon I have just been resting up and got some food. Tonight I have a friends wedding to go to and then tomorrow I plan to rest and figure out what my week will be looking like. I am excited about the wedding it will be held at St. Michael's church and then a reception I think at a local country club afterwords. So, I will update more on that later on. But that concludes by busy weekend.

Bill's home and the fronteers of flight

This past weekend was full of activities. Friday started out with Ben and I going to dinner and watching a movie. Saturday morning started off early with a call at 6 am from my mom waking me up, to go to DFW airport. Our whole family went to DFW at an early hour to welcome home the troops. A little known fact is that DFW has a welcome home celebration every week for the troops coming back from Iraq and Afghanistan. My brother was coming home for R&R so we went to meet him. That whole ordeal is very emotional and it was fun to watch husbands and wives come back to families and watch the reaction of everyone. We got back home and just hung out. Ben came over after lunch and we went to the historical homes tour together which was so much fun. When we got back we were watching TV and my brother came over to see my place and brought mint chocolate chip ice cream my favorite. Saturday night I went to a dinner party for a friend who is getting married memorial day weekend. Sunday Ben and I went to church and to lunch. After that Ben and I decided to go to the fronteers of flight museum. It was sos much fun to see all of the old plans. We lucked out and there were also old world war 2 plans out to go in and see. It was very windy on Sunday afternoon that we got the true effect of what it would be like to be flying in the planes. I took lots of pictures, but then my camera was acting odd and when I put them on my computer half of them did not even come out or were loaded on my computer. Which was sad but about 5 or so of them did sorta come out. Sunday afternoon we just went back and hung out and had dinner in together. All in all it was a busy weekend with lots of fun activities.
