Get Ready for It!
Calling all teachers!
My annual classroom show-off post will be next Thursday, August 4th! Get ready to show off your classroom!
And new teachers - this is a GREAT way to get ideas for your classroom! Teachers are known for sharing ideas...this is a great way to design your own room!
Not a teacher yet? Just show us your ideas for a classroom. Homeschool teachers are also welcome!
You can get the button at the top for your blog over to the right.
Blogger's Block
I've got blogger's block something serious.
I just don't know what to write about! Seriously - life is boring right now. I had training for work this week for two days. In the process of getting to said training, I put a BOLT (not a nail, a bolt) in the SIDE of my tire...please tell me how I managed that one. So I spent more getting the new tire than I made on the training. Nice.
But besides that, there isn't too much going on to report. We do go to Nashville next week for Noah's job!
So I'm going to turn it over to you guys...what's going on in YOUR life? Link up to a post that tells me what you did this week (not just your main blog...I thought it would be fun to go back later and see what everybody was doing this week!).
PS - Grocery deals are being updated right now...check back in about an hour to link to that too!

Your Friendly Monday Reminder...
Tuscaloosa still needs help! This is how much of Tuscaloosa still looks, if it hasn't been cleared (there are just acres and acres of empty land now that used to be neighborhoods).
The part of this video that gets me the most is the lady's "We Are Coming Back" shirt. There are signs like this all over Tuscaloosa, and they get me teary-eyed EVERY TIME I see one.
Happy Birthday...to ME!!

Today is my 26th birthday!
I've reached the point in life where it's no longer cool to get a year older...so I'll consider it a year wiser. :)
I'm going to lunch with some friends at a fun Mexican place, and Noah's taking me to one of my FAVORITE places in Tuscaloosa for dinner tonight...Kozy's!
It's going to be a great day!
Hattiesburg...Again!
Since all of Noah's family was still in Hattiesburg this past weekend, we decided at the last minute to go back for a couple of days!
We had a great time...Noah even stayed up until 5am with his brothers one night. :) We did a little bit of shopping, a little bit of eating (like we normally do there), and got to see family that we don't get to see all together all that often!
Since Noah's parents won't see me before my birthday (on Friday), they got me a little birthday cake from my FAVORITE bakery there! Our groom's cake from our wedding came from this same bakery.
Not the best picture, but you get the idea. :)
Happy Wednesday!

3. Mix in sour cream, half of the cheese, and the egg. Set aside.
4. Meanwhile, cook the onion in a little bit of oil until translucent. Add in the bacon and cook until desired "crunchiness." Drain.

Fourth of July Weekend
So Noah's birthday is the fourth of July, and we always go to Hattiesburg (his hometown) for the weekend of the fourth. This year was no different!
Three major life events happened this weekend...
1 - Obviously, Noah turned 27. Bad wife award goes to this one, who didn't get any pictures of him with his cake/presents. :(
2 - We met our PRECIOUS niece Avery! She was born in April, but our brother and sister-in-law live 10 hours away in Florida. She's a doll!
3 - I fished. Like REALLY fished, out in the ocean fished. Noah's way into fishing, but I've never done it (besides just watching people). We went on Sunday...and had to wake up at 4:30 to get there!
My father in law had a few pictures on his phone of us that I don't have yet...I'll show you proof of my actions at a later time. :) But here's what we caught...
Yes, those things on the right are SHARKS. Like they wrestled these things onto the boat. I obviously hid like a small child every time they did. (And I can't remember, but one of the little fish was one of mine!)
Me with the birthday boy and the slimy dead fish!
And this isn't a major occurrence, but I did find Ann Taylor Loft clothes for 90% off when we went shopping, and New York and Company clothes for 40% off. I was kind of proud of myself. :)
All in all a good weekend!
Happy Fourth!
Happy Fourth of July
and
Happy birthday to my sweet husband!!!
We're in Hattiesburg...I'll be back with our fun weekend tomorrow!
Little bit of housekeeping...
For all of you who read my grocery deals every week...
I LOVE putting my deals on the blog, but I know it clutters up a lot of people's feeds and I want to kind of get back to just blogging about our lives. So - I set up a grocery deals page this morning where I'm going to start putting all of our trips! You can see it here. I'll still update it every week, you'll just have to go there on Friday rather than seeing it on the main page. I just updated it for this week!
I'll try to get a link to it on one of my sidebars this weekend!
We're headed to Hattiesburg (Noah's birthday tradition) this weekend, so I'll come back with lots of pictures...we get to meet our niece this weekend!!! :)
