HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Since Jim and I have been together, we have carved a jack-o-lantern each Halloween, and this year was no exception. Below are the pictures, and I must say, I think this is the best one we (...I mean Jim) has done. Jim usually mans the pumpkin, while I work with the seeds!!!

Getting the gunk out

Our gunk looked like spaghetti

Jim had to have this picture!

Our BIG nephew!!!

While we were in NC for Jim's high school reunion, we got in some good visiting time with his family. We stayed at Mike and Jenny's (Jim's sister) house and were able to love on our nephew Drew. He is so sweet, and so BIG. He is not even 3 month old in these pictures! We can't wait until Christmas so we can see everyone and visit some more!

Jim's High School Reunion

I am always teasing Jim about "how old" he is....so when his 10 year high school reunion came, it was fuel to the fire! I know that Jim isn't old, but he is older than me, so it gives me the ability to joke with him about it.

We had a great time in North Carolina visiting with his family and seeing all his high school friends. Of course, the weekend FLEW by, but thanks to Jim's parents we were able to go. Jim's mom and dad flew us there so we could visit and attend the reunion festivities. We were so grateful! Thanks Jim and Renee!!!

Below are some pictures from the weekend!!!

Don't worry....we are still alive!

So, I realize it has been an extremely long time since we have posted anything, but in our defense....it has been crazy around here. The next few posts will show that we have been super busy.

I am full force in the middle of my last semester for my masters degree. I can not wait for Christmas to get here. Not only will I be finished with my masters degree, but I will also be finished with KTIP, which is an internship program that teachers have to go through to complete their teaching license in the state of Kentucky.

Jim has been busy with work as well, now that "competition season" is here! He will be traveling some, although his schedule doesn't look quite as busy as it did last year. (I am sure I will be singing a different tune when he is actually out of town!)

One major change that is happening is I am transferring schools (I am talking about my teaching school, not my masters degree school....). There have been some funding cuts in the state, so my district is forced to shut down some Pre-K units. Lucky me, (please sense the sarcasim) I am one of the units that is shutting down. I am being transferred to another school where they have a full time substitute as the teacher now. The big move will be December 3rd, so keep me in your prayers. I am hoping the sub has done a great job, so it won't be completely like the 1st day all over again..... I will let you know how it goes in a month or so!

Sorry to keep you waiting so long without a post, but hopefully this will make up for it!
