So this is life!

The first couple of weeks of school have been crazy, busy, and mostly tiresome. I'm teaching 7th and 8th grade math (pre-algebra and algebra) and the hardest part has been relearning all the material. I find myself going back to language arts all the time. "So what word do you see in the word reflexive?!....And what does that mean?!" I can't help but incorporate some language arts, but I guess it's a good thing! Unfortunately, sometimes I think that the kids know more than I do! I ended up getting my own classroom (yay!) so that's made life 1,000,000 times easier.

Brock's been gone for two weeks now for training and has one week left! He's enjoying himself and making new friends, but I think he's ready to come home. He misses Tucker and little does he know that Tucker has completely taken over his side of the bed!

Mom came up for the weekend to hang out with me and visit the Nashville area. We did as much sightseeing and eating out as we could! She brought Cooper and Ginny to give Tucker some company and we all had a great time. I was so happy to see my mom and have some company. Here are some pictures we took of the dogs:)

Tucker and Ginny spent some time cuddling together in our bed, so here's their lovers picture!That's about it for now:)

Ok.. It's been awhile!

Not too much has happened since the last post!
I did get a new job! (That's the best news I have!) I am now officially a teacher at Brentwood Middle School about 15 minutes from our house. I'm a floater this year, so I don't have a classroom and I float to different classrooms teaching different grades and subjects. Needless to say, it's going to be a busy year, but I'm really excited:) Tomorrow is my first day. This week is inservice and the kids come back next Monday.

As promised, I have some pictures of our apartment!:

The living room

Our bedroom

The kitchen

The front door! (Sorry, it's dark, but take note of the little UGA!)

Brock has one more week of summer until work starts and it's a good thing because he's getting restless. He's ready for something to do! His first three weeks will be Atlanta (ironically!) and then we'll see where he ends up from there.

Brock and I had lunch and went to the fair with one of my old friends from back in middle school, Rachel Likens. Rachel and her husband, Dustin, moved up here at the beginning of the summer and since I hadn't seen her since 8th grade and none of us really know anyone up here, we all decided to get together. It was nice to see old friends. Hopefully we'll get to see more of them:)

Tucker is doing well. He's enjoyed having us around all summer, so I don't know how he's going to react when we head to work. He'll have to be like every other puppy. That's about it for now. But here's a picture for your Tucker-fix :) Love you all!

He loves baths, can't you tell?!
