2 MONTHS TO GO
Well, just over 2 months. But still!! The final countdown is ON for my sissy's wedding!!!!

How beautiful is this picture?! My parents and aunts got married here, I was christened and confirmed here, I got married here, and soon it's Hopey's turn!

Thank you, Becca, for snapping such a beautiful pic of a place that is so special to our family! [Read more about Becca on Hope's blog or visit Rebecca Rose Events! We love her!!!]


PUP PARTY UP IN HERE
While my mama and brother are on spring break, I have the priviledge of watching our family dogs. So, yes, there are more dogs than people in my house right now. And as dog people...we are loving it.


This week Mark and I live with Amelia (our baby), Sophie (the whippet), and Lilly (the "Maltese" that's not just a Maltese...even though her papers say so). Yes, I've only grown up with girl dogs. Yes, we give our dogs human names that we like. :)

LIFE AS A KINDERGARTEN TEACHER
Found this ecard on Pinterest. It epitomizes my first year of marriage when I taught kindergarten...the most sensory overloaded job I've ever loved.

A friend of mine put it best during my first year of teaching in 2009. "Teaching kindergarten is like coming home everyday Disney tired. Like you've just spent the day at Disney World. Every day." Love it so much. Amen.

SWOONING
I've been thinking about these ever since I saw this picture on Instagram. And they're $12! I might have to cave and go pick some up this weekend...! Beach boutiques [that love Jesus!] are the best.

HAPPY weekend! :)

    What a sweet tradition to continue with your sister getting married in the same church that already holds so many special memories for your family. The next two months are going to fly by!

    Such cute puppies!

    And I can believe that teaching kindergarten is that tiring. I know my niece and nephews wear me out! And there is only 3 of them!

    Love that last quote! The teaching metaphor about Disney is so true!! I get worn out with just one toddler, I can't imagine a classroom full of them!

    I'm always the first to volunteer to watch others dogs. A few months ago we had three cavalier king charles, one maltese and a lab all inside. I was in Heaven but the hubs, not so much! Love, love, love that last quote. Have a great weekend, pretty girl!
