The Flood

As all of you know, our city is preparing for a major flood. Many places are already covered with water, and countless others are just waiting for it to creep up. Sadly, the lake house is feeling the effects already. I guess Louis will not spend his first summer at the lake :( however, I am very grateful that it is not our primary residence being threatened by water. Please pray for those who have evacuated and are so unsure of their future. 

Made my day

As the school year nears the end, everyone gets a little wild. My class is so awesome, but we are ALL ready for June! Today I got the sweetest gift from a student. It was so unexpected, but it made my day:

Mr. And Mrs. Cliff Herring

This weekend I went to Rosemary Beach, Florida for Nikki and Cliff's wedding. Everything was beautiful-especially the bride. On Saturday, we laid out on the beach for a while. The weather was beautiful. I just wish Rob and Louis had come.

Springtime

We have been so busy for the past month or so that I haven't had time to blog. A few weeks ago, Rob and I went to Memphis for Shannon and Joey's wedding. This was our first night away from Louis. I was really sad to leave him, but the weekend was really fun and we had a great time at the wedding. We were having to much fun at the wedding to take pictures, but I did get a shot of the Pebody ducks (I made Rob take me to see them).

Waiting for the ducks

The next weekend, my friend Alana got married in Baton Rouge. Rob didn't make the trip for this one, but Louis did. I had to get him introduced to his future college town at a young age. The wedding was perfect and Alana was beautiful.

My college roommates, Erin and Addie came to meet Louis!



The beautiful bride, Alana



We have had two weekends at home to enjoy with our sweet Louis and our friends. The weather has been nice, so we have had friends over the past two weekends to cookout. This is a huge perk of our new back yard/patio. It's so private. And, Rob did a great job getting the yard landscaped while I was out of town. He is awesome. Maybe I should start hiring him out....

Yesterday was Louis's first Easter. The Easter Bunny went a little overboard, and visited him at 3 houses. We went to church and then had time with our family that afternoon.

Loving everything the Easter Bunny brought...

especially his new elephant

Ready for church

We have had a busy Spring so far, and it's not over yet! Two more weddings before the end of May!!

for real?

So...glee is starting to get to me. The warbelers have got to stop with the top 40 songs. Especially at the beginning, because then I can't pay attention for the rest of the show because I'm laughing too much.

Happy Birthday!

Today is Rob's birthday. It is also the one year birthday of my blog. So for the occasion I'd like to share with you a haiku a student wrote today.(for those of you who don't remember, a haiku is a 3 line Japanese poem. The first and third lines have five syllables and the second line has seven. Also, they are usually about nature or animals.)

There were two racoons
That were asleep in the street
They got run over

Priceless.

The top ten things I miss about being pregnant:
10. When I would have volunteers to carry or pick up stuff. Not sure if you know this but I have 0 upper ARM strength.
9. Having an excuse to look terrible. Now that I think about it, being a new mom lets you have the same excuse.
8. Eating what you want, whenever you want. I still do this, but now I just get strange looks.
7. Feeling him moving in my stomach. Loved it.
6. Not having to even consider exercising.
5. Watching an entire tv show uninterrupted.
4. Blaming my bad moods on hormones.
3. Not having to clean if I didn't want to.
2. Naps after school
And the number 1 thing I miss about being pregnant:
Maternity jeans. Hands down most comfortable article of clothing ever.
