so it's been awhile

What's up with that? Not near as many posts this month, but I am going to do something that I got from a friend...
So you're supposed to go to your sixth folder of photos, and find the sixth picture and tell a memory about it. Then tag 5 others to do the same. So tag your it...

I don't really know what this picture is. I don't think I was the photographer and I don't know where it's taken. I think it was 2 years ago when Caleb and Jade went to the Girl Scouts Father/Daughter dance. Sorry the memory's not any better.

I did it

I went yesterday for my orientation for school and signed up for my 2 classes I need to take this semester. I am going back to get my teaching certification. I only need 4 classes before I can student teach. Well really 5 but I got jipped on the 5th one. It is a class I have already taken but it was too long ago for them to count the credit for it, so I have to retake it. But that's how it goes sometimes. I am kinda dreading going back to school again, but I just want to have my own classroom and teach my own students. So I guess I'll have to bite the bullet for a while and do what I need to in order to get where I want to be.
Some other fun news is that we paid off my car last week. It is mine now and I plan to keep it for a while, so the next time we buy a car we can pay cash for it. I don't want to have a car payment ever again. I know that sometimes in life don't always go how you plan, but at least we have a plan and are trying to stick with it. It will be so good to finally be debt free. By the end of this year hopefully we can have everything but the house and my student loan paid off. Plus have our emergency fund where it needs to be. That means no more renovations on the house for a while. But that's ok. It will be nice when we can just hire out the renovations for the house and pay cash for it all right up front.
Well that's all for now, have a good week.

Let's see the first picture is of the bed wall. I thought the checkerboard effect would look awesome and it turned out great. The second is of my little Vannah White showing off her closet. The third is of the built-in bookshelf and desk that Caleb did. And the fourth is the last little corner of the room. I think it looks so cute for a little girl and my husband did a great carpentry job. I just wanted to put these on since I said I would.
