Certification Update

Thank you to all my friends and fam for the love and support in my journey towards becoming a teacher. For an update: I have been taking classes on Tuesdays and Saturdays as well as online classes. My Tuesday/Saturday classes end December 11th, phew! And I have completed my online classes. Hooray! Now I am preparing for my actual certification tests. My Early Childhood-6th Grade certification test is this coming Monday. I pass and I am certified to teach these grade levels in the state of Texas. I have been studying like crazy. I have to admit it is a little bit of an adjustment studying for a major test after being out of school for a few years. But I have been able to buckle down and tackle it. Please keep me in your prayers on Monday. I will keep you all posted. Then, I will be taking my Junior High certification test in January. Meanwhile, I have been subbing in Sealy a bunch and am completely loving it! I have met some wonderful people. I am also in the middle of my sub training for Katy. Hopefully I will start subbing in Katy come December. This subbing is awesome because I get to experience different grade levels to see what I like. At this point I am still very open to younger and older grade levels. But, we will see:) Thank you all for keeping me in your prayers! xoxo

Home Updates

After seven months in our new home, we are finally settled in. Phew! We have worked so hard on making it unique to us and are finally ready to show it off. Enjoy a few snapshots of the place we like to call home!

Entry (also SW Latte)

As you can see, I did alot of research and testing of paint colors. I feel like paint adds so much to a house. I decided to omit pictures of our 4th bedroom:) Currently it functions as a catch all for gifts, wrapping paper, crafts, and storage. Not the prettiest sight. But, one day it will become a nursery. It is in the perfect location for a nursery, directly beside the master. I hope you enjoyed your tour!

Finally!!

We are so excited that with this cold weather we are finally able to have a fire in our new home. And June loves it too;) It makes for very cozy fall nights! We were so happy to be home with the fire last night we decided to ditch our regular routine of eating out on Friday nights to stay in. Happy Fall Y'all!!

Halloween

Halloween weekend was a blast! Saturday night Adam and I dressed up for a Halloween party that our good friends Ashlee and Derek Beeman hosted. Ashlee decorated the house perfectly. It was tons of fun! We went as Cruella Deville and William Wallace from Braveheart. We had so much fun dressing up and even more fun with our friends at the part-tay! Later we met up with my parents for a couple drinks as they were coming from a Halloween party as well!







Sunday night, Hayley and Garman came over with their pup Ryder for Halloween. We hung out, had a yummy chili dinner, and they even joined us in passing out candy:) We had such a fun evening! And even met a few new neighbors. Of course the dogs all had a good time as well;) Don't you just love Adam and Garman's costumes??
