Our Boys!

I have felt terribly guilty for not posting a picture of Smokey...so here's a great one. Aaron convinced me to go hiking back in October ( so this is an old picture) and here we are taking a break. Needless to say, we were exhausted.

New Job!!!

Hello Friends!!! What a crazy and hectic week!!! I'm sorry for being so distant this week but quite a bit has happened in my neck of the woods. On Monday, I was offered a job at the local, public high school that I've been hoping to work at since I moved here. It was, however, a very difficult decision for me to leave my current job at Tuscaloosa Academy. My new school, Northridge High School, is literally located behind Tuscaloosa Academy. It is a brand new building (5 years old). Many of the students at TA who opt for the public school will attend Northridge, therefore I will know quite a few faces next year. I am both excited and nervous about this new challenge. Hopefully this will be the last major change I will have to deal with for a while. I really need a break. Working here will open a lot of doors especially in respect to my salary and retirement. I couldn't pass it up!

This is our boy Cajun. I love this picture because it makes me laugh. I caught it on my phone so the quality is not that great. He likes to stretch out sometimes and tends to end up on his back. He can be in this position for long periods of time...he's special. This is acutally an old picture because he has lost 8 pounds per the vet's request.

Angie's Wedding

Congratulations Angie! Angie and Rob were married last Saturday (July 12th) in Ashland. It was great to be home.

Adventure Boy!

Aaron recently ventured to Nantahala, NC for a weekend of fun and adventure. While there he kayaked, canyoneered and mountain biked. I wish I had an ounce of his energy. This is a picture of him canyoneering. It's pretty dangerous to do, but he loved every second of it.

It's Sunday!

Hi! It's a gorgeous, hot Sunday morning here in sunny Alabama. I, of course, pulled nearly an all nighter again last night. I went to bed at 6am...yuck. I am so close to convincing Aaron that this is a neat way to communicate with my close friends. He doesn't want much to do with it, yet he was proofreading and making corrections.

My 1st Blog

I finally did it...my first blog. Now that Rhonda sold me on this blogging stuff, I have to sell it to Aaron. So far, he's not biting and I'm sure Jenny is rolling her eyes right about now. Please be patient with me as I try to learn how to manage this thing. To be honest, I wish I could hire someone to set it up for me. The best thing about it is that I can occupy my rather dull days with figuring this thing out.
