I have been scheeming to surprise Jared with season football tickets. Living in College Station it is a must to have tickets especially being both Aggie grads. Every time he would bring up how great tickets would be, I would shoot him down saying they were too expensive. But little did he know I was planning on getting him tickets the whole time! I had planned to go through the Lettermen's Associtation to get tickets, but they sell out fast! Good to know for next year...I won't drag my feet! We are sitting on the West side in the curve. I hope they will have a good view! If you blow up the picture Jared is pointing to our section. </div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><div>After I placed the order, I made Jared a mock Aggie Ticket! It was fun to play around with the clip art! I drove him to the stadium to give him his ticket. Luckily the stadium gates were unlocked so we could snap this picture. Hopefully the Aggies will have another great season! Jared won't quite know what to do with himself.... 7 Aggie home games plus Texas is a home game all in 1 year!! Jared and I attended the A&M vs. TU game in 2005! </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Last Wednesday our good friends from church had their little boy, Benjamin! He is a sweetheart! I got to see him again tonight when we brought them dinner! I'm sensing a newborn shoot soon!! </div></div><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-n2ihr8sFVmo/Tb9psHb7NCI/AAAAAAAAClo/clH5Ydk2RpQ/s1600/226894_953808837373_9202284_43961570_4038679_n.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5602312668103521314" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-n2ihr8sFVmo/Tb9psHb7NCI/AAAAAAAAClo/clH5Ydk2RpQ/s200/226894_953808837373_9202284_43961570_4038679_n.jpg" /></a>Ann Marie Lowehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01091543279835000876noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7999026723841894455.post-59480722760442526842011-04-07T18:29:00.000-07:002011-04-07T18:49:32.660-07:00I'm BackWow well time has really gotten away from me to say the least! Jared and I have been SO very busy these last couple of months! We bought a house, moved out of Waco, moved into College Station, unpacked, took some trips, got in a wreck, had the flu, currently getting over pneumonia, so yea life has been kinda crazy! I'm still commutting between Waco and College Station. We will see if that will continue to next year or not. I have also been applying to just about every district around College Station, but it has to be the worst time to be looking for a teaching position. So far we love our new house and are looking forward to having some neighbors. Luckily the house next to us is going to house a young couple that just had a little girl. We are excited for them to move in and have some neighbors. I am really looking forward to June 3, the last day of school!! Yes I love my job, but i'm ready to spend some real time with Jared, Browning and our new house! I'm also looking forward to summer days by the POOL!!! <br /><p></p><br /><p align="center">So I made my first newborn TuTu! <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-M7g-zBRdq2g/TZ5pMoQKmFI/AAAAAAAACkw/wB5D58l1FtE/s1600/IMG_9463.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 134px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5593023452925302866" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-M7g-zBRdq2g/TZ5pMoQKmFI/AAAAAAAACkw/wB5D58l1FtE/s200/IMG_9463.JPG" /></a> Since I don't have a model...I had to use my stuffed horse! </p><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-eyo2qtdha8c/TZ5pMer3p_I/AAAAAAAACko/rZl7CRXHCK8/s1600/IMG_9437.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 134px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5593023450357147634" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-eyo2qtdha8c/TZ5pMer3p_I/AAAAAAAACko/rZl7CRXHCK8/s200/IMG_9437.JPG" /></a> Houston and Brooke's Wedding! <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-u3x1eG0P8rc/TZ5pMMir1vI/AAAAAAAACkg/49yiIdlxqK4/s1600/IMG_9394.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 134px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5593023445486786290" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-u3x1eG0P8rc/TZ5pMMir1vI/AAAAAAAACkg/49yiIdlxqK4/s200/IMG_9394.JPG" /></a>My new kitchen!! <br /><div>All the Women!<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-iughZvfI5jA/TZ5pLyIQkAI/AAAAAAAACkY/MecfzKhJoIc/s1600/DSCN8944.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5593023438396624898" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-iughZvfI5jA/TZ5pLyIQkAI/AAAAAAAACkY/MecfzKhJoIc/s200/DSCN8944.JPG" /></a>We're still cute after 3 years! <br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FOnk56BITL4/TZ5pLluifmI/AAAAAAAACkQ/JF7oCsnT-0k/s1600/DSCN8935.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5593023435067522658" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FOnk56BITL4/TZ5pLluifmI/AAAAAAAACkQ/JF7oCsnT-0k/s200/DSCN8935.JPG" /></a> <br /><div></div><br /><div>Well enought talk here are some pics!</div></div></div></div>Ann Marie Lowehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01091543279835000876noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7999026723841894455.post-17282758021663937532010-12-13T15:22:00.000-08:002010-12-13T17:04:17.337-08:00Coming to an EndWell it's been a fun time playing house at 10329 Sierra West. Another milestone has come into our lives. No longer are we first time home buyers but now first time sellers. The papers have been signed, and our house is official on the market! There will be a lock box on the house tomorrow and it can start being shown. The website should contain the pictures and write up on the house no later than Thursday! I went through the house today snapping pictures and reminiscing in every room. It is amazing all the projects we have endured in 2 years and 2 months. This house has been good to us, and we have enjoyed making it our home! It was pretty tough handing over the keys to the Realtor today. I pretty much teared up right in front of her! This whole move has been weighing on me recently. June is a long time away, and these weekend visit from Jared are too quick. Selling a house alone is tough! I have mixed emotions about when I want it to sell! I would love for the people who see our house to absolutely fall in love with it because I did! That would be comforting to know that we made good choices in our first home, our designs, and upgrades! But I don't want it to sell too soon because then my home is no longer! Either way we have the most gracious friends to offer up their spare bedrooms. Then I will be the one commuting on the weekends! HA! Our Realtor has nothing but compliments about our house (i know this is part of her job) , but it is still nice to hear! Hopefully Browning won't mind strangers into his home! He'll probably just greet them with a ball hoping for a strong arm and friend! Enjoy the pictures!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">The ole yellow room!

The idea was to have a creamy country yellow....well that didn't exactly happen. It was a bright bright yellow that I never really warmed up to. Since the house is going to go on the market, I felt that other potential buyers would feel the same way. So back to Khaki it goes! It actually looks pretty good against the white wicker furniture which surprises me!! Maybe it's the bedding?!?! What I great buy I found on target.com!!! I bought it on a whim and LOVE it! Plus some new art work which fits in more with the decor around the house! One more project crossed off from the list! YEAH!

He's so talented! We have been wanting to update our guest bathroom since we moved into this house 2 years ago! Well the only thing we did was buy new towel holders and towels! Some things really come together when you know you have to sell your house! These last little details, that we always wanted to do, are now finished! For about $45.00 we gave our guest bath a nice update! Jared made all the cuts and sprayed the wood and the old fixture! Yes that was the old GOLD fixture!!! Who knew it would have been that big of a change!! We are so happy with the final product! Oh and we bought a new shower curtain!!

You would think we both graduated from Baylor! Jared is so upset with A&M now...i think he was happy to support another school! Especially one that doesn't employee his wife any more!! HAHA! Last night we met up with our friends from church for dinner and then went to the bonfire! Woke up early...yes early on my one Saturday to not have school...to go to the parade. We grabbed a nutritious breakfast of kolaches and donuts and went to the parade with Browning in tow! He was so excited and sporting a Baylor t-shirt! Jared wore yellow and I was in green! Like I said...you would think we were Baylor grads! The parade was good, and then onto our last minute errands before the game! I made a 7 layer dip that was quite yummy and perfect for football tailgates! We went to our friends tailgate and then onto the game! Here is where we start to go down hill. With only like 2 minutes into the first quarter they delay the game due to weather! Well about an hour later the RAIN comes! It was a freakin monsoon! With everyone else trying to get under the stadium... Jared and I head for the field to get under the part where the football players run out! Yes we stormed the Baylor football field like crazed fans!! We get under this pavillion that is reserved for the "snooty" Baylor alum. We stay there for about 30 minutes than head back to our seats! We are now SOAKED and FREEZING! Guess what else happened...?!?! A cold front comes in...of course it does!! So we are WET and Cold...finally the game starts again..2.5 hours later! Right before half time it starts to rain again...by this time I calling it quits!! I had had enough...seeing how I didn't even go to Baylor in the first place! So now we are home...dry and in our lazy weekend clothes watching the school we actually both went to play KU! So far they are up, hopefully it will stay that way! Enjoy the pictures!<br /><div style="text-align: center;">Our little Baylor Bear<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mqBAR4tj9-0/TMN7L5p4vfI/AAAAAAAACeY/sg1lFSJccwA/s1600/IMG_7293.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 134px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mqBAR4tj9-0/TMN7L5p4vfI/AAAAAAAACeY/sg1lFSJccwA/s200/IMG_7293.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5531400211726384626" border="0" /></a>Too Cute!<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">(yes this is one of my old equestrian shirts)<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mqBAR4tj9-0/TMN8RGfswII/AAAAAAAACeg/aQ00u0gOSlY/s1600/IMG_7294.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 134px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mqBAR4tj9-0/TMN8RGfswII/AAAAAAAACeg/aQ00u0gOSlY/s200/IMG_7294.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5531401400584290434" border="0" /></a>Paige, me, Ashley, and B-Crump<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mqBAR4tj9-0/TMN8wkAm2LI/AAAAAAAACeo/U6tvIwtbkUk/s1600/IMG_7302.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mqBAR4tj9-0/TMN8wkAm2LI/AAAAAAAACeo/U6tvIwtbkUk/s200/IMG_7302.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5531401941082888370" border="0" /></a>Jared and Lil Bear!<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mqBAR4tj9-0/TMN9VQGR-TI/AAAAAAAACew/Ol1t9Wnetvw/s1600/IMG_7297.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 134px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mqBAR4tj9-0/TMN9VQGR-TI/AAAAAAAACew/Ol1t9Wnetvw/s200/IMG_7297.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5531402571393136946" border="0" /></a><br />Family Pic!<br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mqBAR4tj9-0/TMN92uJyEGI/AAAAAAAACe4/PN6qtaCTbTo/s1600/IMG_7310.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mqBAR4tj9-0/TMN92uJyEGI/AAAAAAAACe4/PN6qtaCTbTo/s200/IMG_7310.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5531403146396569698" border="0" /></a>Ann Marie Lowehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01091543279835000876noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7999026723841894455.post-83890429870936297252010-10-17T11:56:00.000-07:002010-10-17T12:31:03.151-07:00Yea for Fam!This weekend has been full of family time!

We enjoyed seeing everyone and catching up! Here are some pics from the weekend!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mqBAR4tj9-0/TLtMu5ecAJI/AAAAAAAACdI/f2WtzZQocsI/s1600/IMG_6998.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mqBAR4tj9-0/TLtMu5ecAJI/AAAAAAAACdI/f2WtzZQocsI/s200/IMG_6998.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529097336113594514" border="0" /></a>Easton Corbin<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mqBAR4tj9-0/TLtLl5ZfFbI/AAAAAAAACdA/baleVc8FYhg/s1600/IMG_7003.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mqBAR4tj9-0/TLtLl5ZfFbI/AAAAAAAACdA/baleVc8FYhg/s200/IMG_7003.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529096081962374578" border="0" /></a>Meghan and Justin<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mqBAR4tj9-0/TLtOxYactmI/AAAAAAAACdg/OhX3RK4SSgA/s1600/IMG_6969.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mqBAR4tj9-0/TLtOxYactmI/AAAAAAAACdg/OhX3RK4SSgA/s200/IMG_6969.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529099577801356898" border="0" /></a><br />Jared and Dad being goofy!<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mqBAR4tj9-0/TLtOxI0cVSI/AAAAAAAACdY/p_tInC2uAmk/s1600/IMG_6970.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mqBAR4tj9-0/TLtOxI0cVSI/AAAAAAAACdY/p_tInC2uAmk/s200/IMG_6970.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529099573615416610" border="0" /></a><br />Dad and Me!<br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mqBAR4tj9-0/TLtOv-q9psI/AAAAAAAACdQ/mn2pq9eXga0/s1600/IMG_6979.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mqBAR4tj9-0/TLtOv-q9psI/AAAAAAAACdQ/mn2pq9eXga0/s200/IMG_6979.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529099553711433410" border="0" /></a>Ann Marie Lowehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01091543279835000876noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7999026723841894455.post-41868105399124449652010-09-21T16:59:00.000-07:002010-09-21T18:32:58.308-07:00Making a Splash!!Well thank goodness it's not a water type splash! I have had enough of those to last me awhile! I'm talking back splash for the kitchen!! It is finished and looking fabulous! Jared and I are so pleased with how everything came out! Maybe just maybe it was meant to be!! Our house is practically brand new now! We absolutely love the floors, the tile are now are back splash!!!<br /><br />Jared's parents came up this past weekend and had a MAJOR role in the facelift of our kitchen yet again!!! Jack did all the tile laying, jared did all the cute, Lori helped grab spacers, hand off tiles, and make sure the lines were straight, and I buttered....the TILE silly!! Yes you butter tile...with adhesive not butter so it will stick to the board and stay in place! I must say it came second nature to me!! It was quite the family project! It took about 6 hours on Sunday and Jared finished it up last night! Our kitchen is AMAZING!! We are so happy with the out come!!!<br /><br />Thank you so much Lowe's for coming up this past weekend!!!!! We couldn't have done it without you!!!

We have most of the furniture back in place, but we still need to put the washer and dryer back in and fill the china cabinet with china! Well I say we...but I mean Jared! hehe! It's nice to be able to get in the office now, get to our bedroom easily, see the floor in our bedroom, and watch tv on the couch! Oh the little things in life! Well we are VERY pleased with the outcome! We couldn't be happier with how the tile and floors look! They really update the house and look really good with our furniture and theme of our house! We have one small project left...the backsplash! Jared picked up the tile today and it looks great! Once that is completed we are going to take a BREAK from remodeling the house! I hope the dishwasher, washer, air conditioner, and hot water tank heard me!!!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">New floors next to the semi new carpet<br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mqBAR4tj9-0/TIxGLaZJmtI/AAAAAAAACZo/GGdWN_vhRAo/s1600/IMG_6204.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 134px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mqBAR4tj9-0/TIxGLaZJmtI/AAAAAAAACZo/GGdWN_vhRAo/s200/IMG_6204.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5515860805499329234" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Living Room looking towards the front door...china cabinet on your right<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mqBAR4tj9-0/TIxE_7E8gZI/AAAAAAAACZg/OzruPPWWA3I/s1600/IMG_6203.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 134px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mqBAR4tj9-0/TIxE_7E8gZI/AAAAAAAACZg/OzruPPWWA3I/s200/IMG_6203.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5515859508602896786" border="0" /></a><br />New Tile- it's on diagonal pattern<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mqBAR4tj9-0/TIxE_WFYFCI/AAAAAAAACZY/_a9YeTRjT70/s1600/IMG_6202.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 134px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mqBAR4tj9-0/TIxE_WFYFCI/AAAAAAAACZY/_a9YeTRjT70/s200/IMG_6202.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5515859498672591906" border="0" /></a><br />Kitchen</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mqBAR4tj9-0/TIxE-3af_6I/AAAAAAAACZQ/P0IsoQx73HA/s1600/IMG_6201.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 134px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mqBAR4tj9-0/TIxE-3af_6I/AAAAAAAACZQ/P0IsoQx73HA/s200/IMG_6201.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5515859490439692194" border="0" /></a><br />Living room floor with our chair<br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mqBAR4tj9-0/TIxDZHzrf6I/AAAAAAAACZI/2aoDeobfvzw/s1600/IMG_6199.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 134px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mqBAR4tj9-0/TIxDZHzrf6I/AAAAAAAACZI/2aoDeobfvzw/s200/IMG_6199.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5515857742493613986" border="0" /></a><br />Well it has been a busy 3 weeks! I can't believe 3 weeks of school is complete! This past week we had our open house! It went well. From a couple parents that came, they told me I was their child's favorite teacher and that they love coming to my class! That made my night!! Well then comes Friday morning...the day after open house...I had NO voice!! I not the world's biggest talker, and having to talk for about 13 hours straight did me in!!! I've never lost my voice like that!! NEVER!! I was very worried how I would get through the day without a voice! Kinda of a necessity for teachers!! Well each period I had another teacher to come in and give the spelling test! That was awesome! Did I mention how SWEET, NICE, GENEROUS, KIND, LOVING group of teachers I get to work with on a daily basis!?! Well if not they are AMAZING!! My classes were GREAT! They were so understanding of my lack of voice! They got their work finished, did great on their re take test, and were so quiet!! It was so cute, they would whisper me answers for their warm ups! It was sweet!<br /><br />Progress reports go out on Tuesday...I think my email and voicemail will be flooded! Work has been keeping me very busy!! I feel a little disconnected right now with the outside world! I'm trying to catch up and get in a routine of some sorts! My classes are tying me up at nights and on Saturdays...they are the BIGGEST waste of time! I really wish they weren't such a waste and that I would get something more out of them! They are too expensive to be such a waste! But oh well...they are going to get me officially certified!!<br /><br />I can't get over how fast time has gone by!! My 2 nieces and 1 nephew are all in school- Kindergarten and pre-school! A lot of "NEW" happening in our family in 2010!! Little William will be a year old next month!! WOW!! We will have lived in our 2 years next month--oh homeownerhsip!! January Jared and I will celebrate 3 years!! WOW! Time flies!!Ann Marie Lowehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01091543279835000876noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7999026723841894455.post-17430655588210912562010-08-25T18:51:00.001-07:002010-08-25T19:40:07.401-07:00Yes even Teachers turn in Latework!!!WOW what a week! It's been a very exciting, thrilling, long hours, exhausting, overwhelming, stressful, wonderful, amazing, ok i could keep going but i'll end it with REWARDING! My kids are great! They make me smile, laugh, and almost lose my voice! I have over 150, yes you read correctly! They are great though!! So I have yet to post pictures of my classroom, the mess water can do to a house and some Mexico pictures! Yes i know i am a little behind! The first week started out with a fire drill in second period! Way to really stress out a first year teacher...30 kids in first periodand a fire drill in second! So the kids got out safely, i remembered my little bag, forgot my class roster! And being the first day, there is no way to know who is in your class, their name, what they look like! So yea that was fun! But hey the August fire drill is over! YEAH! So day 2...everything was going great...well as great as it could be being the second day of school and my second day of school...well up UNTIL about 10 minutes before the bell is supposed to ring to release the kids from school! POWER OUTAGE! JOY! Yes a storm blew in and lighting hit a transformer! So we have to keep the kids past the bell, in the dark, do I have a flashlight...NO (but i do now) So the kids stay about an extra 20 minutes, until we can release them to go home! Day 3....the smoothest day so far!! I am really enjoying teaching...but BOY am i TIRED!!<br /><br />So Friday evening...Jared got home from Seattle, so we went to a nice dinner to celebrate his homecoming and me starting teaching. Well all was going so NICE...UNTIL....we got home! It was quite depressing to discovery our house was flooded!! Our laundry room, kitchen, living room, dining room and pantry flooded. So we spent the rest of the night and morning pulling up flooring, vacuuming up water, and pretty much LOOSING it! Disasters don't really bring out the best in us! Never did we mention in our vows...in wetness and dryness!!!! That clause might need to be added to future engaged couples!!! HAHA!!So after that whole mess we will have new floors throughout the whole house!! So we have been spending what free time we do have picking out tile and pergo! It will look really nice once it is in place!! Key words being...IN PLACE! Hopefully this "little" (HAHA) project will be completed by next week...is this possible?!?! Am i being a little too ambitious in this hope?!?! Probably so!<br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">On the beach<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mqBAR4tj9-0/THXKAlVELfI/AAAAAAAACXQ/SsSvh63uExA/s1600/DSCN3725%5B1%5D"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mqBAR4tj9-0/THXKAlVELfI/AAAAAAAACXQ/SsSvh63uExA/s200/DSCN3725%5B1%5D" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5509531830526946802" border="0" /></a><br />Sweet Summer Time!!<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mqBAR4tj9-0/THXKAOJhH0I/AAAAAAAACXI/jjF7Os-6md4/s1600/DSCN3724%5B1%5D"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mqBAR4tj9-0/THXKAOJhH0I/AAAAAAAACXI/jjF7Os-6md4/s200/DSCN3724%5B1%5D" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5509531824304496450" border="0" /></a><br />Looking Tan<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mqBAR4tj9-0/THXJ_zJiRNI/AAAAAAAACXA/tMa1jxkD038/s1600/DSCN3716%5B1%5D"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mqBAR4tj9-0/THXJ_zJiRNI/AAAAAAAACXA/tMa1jxkD038/s200/DSCN3716%5B1%5D" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5509531817056814290" border="0" /></a><br />So this is the tile i think we are going to go with...I'm finally going to get my backsplash!

I started new teacher orientation this past Monday and finished today! I have met some really wonderful people in the district and on my campus! Today I met with my mentor teacher and she is just sly of FABULOUS! I'm really in a great district with very helpful and willing teachers, which is EXACTLY where I need to be starting my first year of teaching! I finally go into my room...yes FINALLY!! BUT I couldn't really do too much because it hadn't been cleaned yet. So hopefully tomorrow morning it will get cleaned and i can get some serious work done on it! I arranged my desk and the kids' desk...but i think i will have to change the kids' desk! It's very difficult to arrange 28-30 desk in one room with space to move around! But i do really like the set up i made for my self! The back of my car is full of TEACHER goodies!! I can't wait to unload them in my room! The district gave all new employees a stipend and new teachers in general a stipend to go by supplies! Well i went to the CUTEST store possible!! It had some great things that will look awesome in my class...pics to follow!! Next week the real work start with teacher orientation and PLANNING! I can't believe school will start a week from MONDAY! AWWW! Just a titch nervous! It will be great though!<br /><br />Jared and I and our friend Holly just returned from Arkansas last Sunday. We had a great time skiing, boating, jet skiing, sewing, eating, looking at my parents new house, driving A LOT of driving and a little bit of sleep in there too! We saw Laura, Tom, Clara and little William in Missouri! We had a GREAT time! I will keep saying Little William so he won't grow up on me too fast like Clara has done! that will work, right?!? Well it's my plan for now!<br /><br /> We also enjoyed spending time with my parents and grand parents!! My mom worked very long and hard on my curtains for my room! They are without a doubt the CUTEST at Midway...ok ok i'm a little bias! My sister also made me some great letters for my classroom with her Cricut! I bought some really cute paper at Hobby Lobby and she had some great templates which makes for FABULOUS classroom letters!! I am itching to get them all laminated and hung up! Oh so much to do!!<br /><br />Well I forgot to mention about Browning....Well Browning made the trip too! It was a memorable trip for him!! On Wednesday...the first day he got to go to the lake...some how he cut open his chest! It was a traumatic day to say the least! I might have slightly panicked...but this is my baby we are talking about...any mother would!!! Well he got stitches, staples, and a drainage tube! My poor baby boy! Well the drainage tube was supposed to stay in till Monday...well that came out a little early..on Friday! Staples come out next Wednesday..hopefully! So he was in a bit of pain for the remainder of the week!! Sorry no pics...too graphic!!!<br /><br />Ok well after a long 3 days of being a teacher...i'm calling it a night! I think i need a bedtime of 9 maybe 9:30! Pics to follow!!!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mqBAR4tj9-0/TGNm5OHXAoI/AAAAAAAACW4/UttETKMB0YA/s1600/logo_2010_rgb.gif"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 158px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mqBAR4tj9-0/TGNm5OHXAoI/AAAAAAAACW4/UttETKMB0YA/s200/logo_2010_rgb.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5504356302804419202" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><img src="file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/ANNMAR%7E1/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot-1.png" alt="" />Ann Marie Lowehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01091543279835000876noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7999026723841894455.post-18537615338598011982010-08-01T11:26:00.000-07:002010-08-01T12:00:01.208-07:00So you Think you can SEW?!?Well not really...but i'm learning!! I have been making some more burp cloths! Jared's boss in Mississippi is expected a little girl! They are huge Alabama fans...so Bama Cloths they shall get! This weekend has been pretty eventful!! Friday was my last day at Baylor!! It was a great day! Saturday was well just BUSY! In the morning we went to our friends little boys 1st birthday party! It was a petting zoo! Then to a law school graduation party. Then i photographed another 1st birthday party...then out to dinner for Jared's birthday at Shoguns! It was delicious! Then church this morning, lunch, laundry, and packing! I'm exhausted! So now i'm resting up so I can drive 10 hours tomorrow to ARKANSAS! I'm so excited to get to see family! I didn't think this trip would happen this summer, but couldn't be more thrilled! I'll get to see my parents, grand parents, sister, brother, brother in law, niece, nephew, and Chelsea! Browning will be joining me in the car as well as my friend HOlly! We will have 10 hours to lesson planning, classroom management, and tips to help the drive go by faster!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Britni with Hunter...the birthday boy!<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mqBAR4tj9-0/TFXAfom_WwI/AAAAAAAACTY/KgrX-_Xvfc0/s1600/june+pics+430.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mqBAR4tj9-0/TFXAfom_WwI/AAAAAAAACTY/KgrX-_Xvfc0/s200/june+pics+430.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5500514169612360450" border="0" /></a><br />Jared getting some Aubrey time!

It was a good 8 years!! I can't believe it has been that long! There were many good times, memories and friendships! I will miss it, but can't wait to start teaching!!! I received my contract today and am so anxious to look over it and sign my life away!! I think there are about the same number of pages as when we signed the contract to our house! HA! I get fingerprinted on Saturday morning....getting closer! I just lack my little Midway ISD badge!! I'll need to get a fun little necklace clip, since i have to wear it 24/7 at school! So back to school I go! I just LOVE school!

But i'm hoping tonight i can some what make it up to him! Jared has been working second shift this week, so i haven't really seen him much since Monday. So needless to say i will be GLAD to be back on schedule next week.<br /><br />On a side note... Jared and I along with some of our friends from our Sunday School class are going to float the river this weekend. We are all sharing a condo so we are both looking forward to a relaxing and fun weekend with friends. Luckily this year there is plenty of water in the river unlike last year hitting all the rocks with our tube! hehe! YEA for rain! It's funny we are taking 2 cars...one for the boys and one for the girls! Yes nothing much has changed since elementary school! Hopefully we will hit the outlet mall on the way home...just a thought! The girls car can go to the outlet and the boys car can go to Cabela's! I am 99.9% sure that is what will happen!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mqBAR4tj9-0/TD9NLMvP1RI/AAAAAAAACSI/cAUDPzgAM_k/s1600/images1.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 130px; height: 86px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mqBAR4tj9-0/TD9NLMvP1RI/AAAAAAAACSI/cAUDPzgAM_k/s200/images1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494194925208589586" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mqBAR4tj9-0/TD9NKxc_T4I/AAAAAAAACSA/ctYzinQdzYk/s1600/images.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 113px; height: 92px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mqBAR4tj9-0/TD9NKxc_T4I/AAAAAAAACSA/ctYzinQdzYk/s200/images.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494194917884252034" border="0" /></a>Jared has asked me sew him something!!!

Well i am now in the business of making burp cloths for little babies! Thanks to my Mom and Dad for getting me a sewing machine for my birthday! HEHE!! Last night and well into the morning, I was learning how to sew! I wanted to make a cutsie burp cloth for some friends who are having babies/showers, and I have seen on blogs and etsy these cute burp rags and said "self i can make these!!" Well To my SURPRISE when my parents came into town last night they bought me a Janome 25th Anniversary machine! So since then i have been sewing up a storm! HA! It's been fun. So now when I have another baby shower to go to...I know what i'm bringing!! I am going to be nosy and spy on more blogs to get ideas for more cutsie little things!

Here are some more pictures from our vacay to Mexico! We were surprised with how many Europeans we met on our trip! They were all so nice and just enjoying themselves as much as we were! We came home learning a little more Spanish and wishing we were fluent in at least another language! but our American system has failed us in that aspect and with the meter system as well! Why are we the only country to do things in pounds and inches?!?! Oh the American way is sometimes silly! hehe!

A little tanner and missing the view of the beach, but glad to be back and i think Browning can vouch for that too! The resort was great! We felt like we were in the amazon almost! We saw monkeys, peacocks, lizards, and many more animals! The way the resort was set up you felt like you were in a canopy overlooking the wild life and greenery! The only rooms that had ac were the specialty restaurants and your personal room. The main eating areas, lobby, entertaining rooms were all open aired with thatched roofs. It was really neat the way they constructed the resort. It took a little to get used to the heat but once we did it was really nice! The pool was HUGE but a little warm! It had a swim up bar which was so cool! Literally, the water in it was so much cooler than any where else...well except the ocean! It was fun to sit in the bar stools in the water and sip on margaritas, Bahama mamas, and on occasional daiquiri! The beach was amazing! The sand was white, the beach was a beautiful turquoise and we were so happy to be on vacation!!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Day 1<br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mqBAR4tj9-0/TCToqLYIv1I/AAAAAAAACK4/sf17T5GBhMM/s1600/IMG_5006.jpg"><img style="display: block;

It's late and by the time most people will read this it will be true! I can't wait! I'm pretty much mentally packed...just have to actually put it all together in the suitcase! Jared is already packed! HA! you think he needs a vacation?!?! He's been working nights this week so it's just been me and the poop! Right now he is sound asleep! He had quite the play date today with our friends 7 month old lab! A 7 month old that is already over 75 pounds! He's going to be a big boy! But they played so WELL! They ran around in the back yard, shared a few licks, fought over toys...or rather tug a war! The brown bear is hmm how should i put this EXHAUSTED!!! He really hasn't moved since our friends left! Poor guy! It's hard hanging with those young'uns! hehe!<br /><br />Some of you have been asking about our <a style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);" href="http://www.iberostar.com/EN/-hotels/Iberostar-Quetzal_3_69.html">vacation</a> just click there and that is where we will be in 3 days!!! YEAH! Well i won't be blogging on our vacation...shock i know...but trust me i will have plenty to share once we get back!!Ann Marie Lowehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01091543279835000876noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7999026723841894455.post-74407831612695015452010-06-16T07:46:00.000-07:002010-06-16T07:49:40.638-07:00My Baby is growing up!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mqBAR4tj9-0/TBjkgTT0R1I/AAAAAAAACKI/miF3MDVwWyk/s1600/brown1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mqBAR4tj9-0/TBjkgTT0R1I/AAAAAAAACKI/miF3MDVwWyk/s200/brown1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483383789913917266" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mqBAR4tj9-0/TBjj9xFNlbI/AAAAAAAACKA/HYEfg3uEmp0/s1600/brown.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mqBAR4tj9-0/TBjj9xFNlbI/AAAAAAAACKA/HYEfg3uEmp0/s200/brown.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483383196610303410" border="0" /></a><br />Found this one today!
