i have no life...

My husband just informed me that I have not updated my blog "in a coon's age" (what does that even mean?). When I told him I was just about to update he questioned what I even had to blog about...hence the title!

Well...despite what my wonderful husband thinks...I do have a life. It just most recently revolved around parent teacher conferences. Yesterday, after a full day of teaching I had a full evening of conferences. I left school at 7:30pm and had to be back at 7:30 this morning. I walked into school this morning feeling like I'd been run over by a Mac Truck, and I still had an entire day of conferencing ahead of me. Despite the fact that conferences drained every ounce of life out of me, it was very encouraging to have a few parents sing my praises after the start the year I've had.

Okay, okay, that isn't much of a life :) So I'll go back a few weekends to the wonderful girls weekend we had in Cortland. Back in August the RWC girls decided we needed an all girls weekend get-together. We started planning and were finally able to get together the first weekend in November. It was a true girls weekend...complete with late night talks, junk food and Salvation-Army shopping!
It was a much-needed weekend with amazing "faith-filled" friends :) We mentioned how amazing it was to be able to catch up on life and share all that God has been doing in our lives since we've left Roberts.
We attended Beth's church on Sunday and all left feeling encouraged and uplifted after a chance to worship together. What an amazing experience!

time for an update...

First off, I appreciate my faithful readers who have checked in on me for any updates. The wait is finally over!

The start of the school year has been harder than I expected...hence the lack of blogging. I'll try to do my best to catch you all up...

Being married is GREAT! I am reminded daily how blessed I am to call Matt my husband. Matt and I have been married 12 weeks and I just realized I never even posted pictures from our honeymoon.
MINI-GOLF! And the winner was....ME!

Matt thought he had this game in the bag...little did he know I had skills I didn't even know about!



We spent a day hiking in the Poconos, overlooking the Delaware River.

Another day was spent enjoying the roller coasters and water rides at Dorney Park.













This picture doesn't do justice to the crazy thunderstorm that came through the area one night during our stay. We lost electricity and heard the constant sound of fire engines in the local community. The lightning seemed to linger over our house for hours, with only a little bit of rain. It was insane!

This was the beautiful view from our back porch! Of course, just to say we did we took the ghetto row boat out on the water...










HA HA...classic!

There it is...a 3 month old update :) Thanks for staying faithful and checking in. I figure if I update one event at a time I'll do better at catching up now.
