Hello...It's me. And it's FriYAY!

Since my last post, I've settled into my new job and am LOVING it! The school, kids, parents and coaches are a dream to work for! I also moved...I left my beloved Fort Worth and moved to the country! And by country I mean like onto acreage and I can't even see my nearest neighbor! I've been there for three weeks tomorrow and it's been so nice! I'm right on the freeway (well on the frontage road of the freeway) so there is the noise of 18-wheelers whizzing by day and night, but I love it!
You know who else loves it? The pups! Jackie and Canton are loving running around the yard and laying on the porch enjoying the beautiful breeze and sunshine! I'm a sucker for a good sunset and I've not been disappointed at all!

Two worn out pups after being outside all day!

My view most nights...I won't get tired of it that's for sure!

Loving their new porch!

Let's back up a bit and talk about Christmas break! To start off the break, my football boys went down to H-town and pulled out a win to win the FIRST State Championship for Brock High School in Football. Not bad for only being in UIL Football for two years! I'm pretty proud of them and the fact that I got to witness it my first year at Brock! (I'd like to think I was the reason, haha!) I got to go home for a week and celebrate a great Christmas with the family! I'm hoping to have them up next year for a "Country Christmas" at my Little House on the Prairie as my mom says. The day after the New Year, we headed to San Antonio to watch the Frogs pull off the greatest comeback I've ever witnessed in THREE Overtimes!! I'm still freaking pumped about it! 

So now we are well into our Spring Semester, I'm learning to enjoy basketball (it's easy when the teams are good) and softball started last week and baseball has their first scrimmage next week. We're coming up on my favorite part of the year...I love baseball/softball and love being outside, but it also means that we're closer to the end and to SUMMER! :) 

This weekend is going to be fabulous...get to celebrate a special 16 year old tomorrow night and then the Super Bowl on Sunday....GO BRONCOS! I really want Peyton to get a win and go out on top! Here's to FriYAY and a wonderful weekend friends!

Oh my!!

I'm going to start out by saying this...I love my job, I love that I moved back to Fort Worth and I love this new journey. But goodness I'm exhausted! Now trust me, I'm so very thankful that I'm not sitting in the cold|rain watching soccer, baseball and softball, but I wish I had a little more time in each day! {Don't we all though?} This new job was supposed to afford me more ME time and more time to get out and do things. I definitely have more time to do things, but not a lot. I find myself pushing back things that need to be done {take my bridesmaid dress to the cleaners, mail some packages, get my car cleaned, laundry...the list can go on} and being lazy and just wanting to lay on the couch when I get home. I know I've only been here since mid-November so obviously there's still some adjusting that needs to be done, but also some better time management.

It seems like I'm crazy busy almost every single day, which is good...means more money for me! :) But I also selfishly want some time to do things I need to|want to do. I hate coming home at 5 or 6 pm and having to run errands that late. I know it doesn't seem late, but it's late when you've been driving and lugging equipment all day. So I need to learn to schedule my work around my day better. That's my goal for March, plan better and not feel guilty when I need to do something for my personal life.

Alright, sorry for the Debbie Downer moment, if anyone has an ideas how I can better manage my time I'd be open to it! :)

I took the pups to get groomed today and go to Doggie Daycamp. They sometimes are not the nicest of puppies when it comes to other dogs, however, they played in a pack of dogs today and didn't eat any of them! I'm highly impressed and they are pooped and seem to have had a good time! I think I may take them there once a week on my really busy day so I don't feel bad leaving them for the whole day, plus it's good to socialize them!


Gah! I've been trying to post pictures on here...but they won't come up even after I download them. I'll figure it out and load y'all with them!
