It's been awhile...

I'm determined to keep up with this blog. It is either that my life is too busy to take time to post or that my life is so boring that there is nothing to post!
Well, let's see....life hasn't been boring lately. I went to Houston a couple of weeks ago to NAESP (National Association of Elementary School Principals) conference. I had a great time with all of my principal friends and got to spend a little time with my sister, too.
This last weekend, Darren and I went to Dallas to the NASCAR races. We left Friday after school and drove through rain all the way to Denton. We went to the races Saturday morning, but they were cancelled because of the rain. I called my friend, Debbie, and we met her, Bill, Tye, Ashley, Parker and Josh for dinner. It was wonderful to catch up with one of my dearest friends! On Sunday, it continued to rain, so the races were cancelled again. We went to the movie, Darren got measured for his tux and we just hung out at the hotel. It was great to just spend time together doing absolutely nothing! Monday morning, we headed out to the race track again and they finally had the race! It was lots of fun! #11 won. I had purchased a hat with #11 on it the day before - not because I knew who the driver was, but because that is Darren's number on his race car. Plus, I liked the pink hat with bling-bling numbers. Anyway, #11 ended up winning so I looked like I really knew something about racing!
If I had all the money in the world, I would just travel with my hubby. We could follow the NASCAR circuit (Darren's dream, not mine) and then go to every state in the good ole' USA! I think about how life would be so much less stressful if I didn't have to think about work. Don't get me wrong - I absolutely love my job, but it was hard to go back today and face all of the decisions and stresses of the day.

Another thing on my mind is Jarrod's job hunt. He had two interviews last week, but hasn't heard back from them yet. I have been praying for God's will. I trust that God already has all of this planned out for Jarrod. I just wish He would let us in on His plan. As a mom, I've always wanted things to be just right for my kids. I usually could fix whatever was bothering them. This, however, cannot be fixed by my mothering skills. Yes, I could call the companies and give them HIGH recommendations for Jarrod, but somehow, I don't think they would listen or appreciate my words of wisdom. All I can do at this point is hand it over to God and trust that all will take place in His time.

There are less than 28 days of school left. What happened to this year? Time certainly flies when you are having fun. I feel so thankful for a job that I love!

I hope all of you have blessings pouring over you and that you have someone to love. I love you all!
