My BJ, my dog

It was a year ago this week I had to put my wonderful BJ down. She had lived with us for almost 15 years. That is a good life span for a dog but letting her go was the most difficult thing I had ever done. I was heartbreaking that I wasn't here for that moment. When I was in Colorado last summer she got sick and our pet sitter found her. I gave her the ok to have her put to sleep after speaking with the vet. I wish I could have been here to see. her. This weekend we watched "Marley and Me" and it just brought it all back. The movie was really good I laughed and I cried. The end was so sad and especially this next week. I miss her almost all time but this week I really miss her.

Well last week we finished school. The girls got done on Thursday and then I went in and finished on Friday. It feels great that is it over!! I have one week off and then I have to teach Summer school for a month then next year I will teach first grade next year.

Well that is it for right now.

God Bless

Quick one tonight

This will be fast. I just wanted to let all my readers know that I found out today that I got my job back and I get to stay at Stevenson (which is where I teach now). This was extremely good news. I will be teaching the first grade combo class. This is a new class that we are developing right now. I am very excited I would teach anywhere next year to have a job and to be at Stevenson. So this was good news. Just wanted to tell everyone.

Life goes on

Well we are back from Vegas and have been for almost a week. The weekend was fun and the wedding was fabulous. I loved spending time with my family. It was great for all of us to get together. John and I got in on Friday afternoon after a 6 hour car ride. The ride was pretty good very uneventful. We stayed at the Excalibur and believe me that was an experience and for us not a very good one. I have complained several times to them and they just blow me off. Anyway when we got there we got settled and set off to find my sisters and nieces. While walking through the lobby we ran into my younger sister and my niece. So we hooked up with them and went up to their room at the other end of the hotel room. Then I got to meet the person I have been waiting for eight months to meet. My beautiful great niece and believe me she is gorgeous!!! She would just smile and giggle at me and then when John talked to her she would give him the death stare LOL. She didn't care too much for him.

Friday evening I got to meet up with some friends of mine from school. I had gone to Kindergarten with them so yep OLD friends.It was a blast to get reacquainted!!! We had dinner and drinks and just had fun. Then we went back to the Excalibur and met up with my family who was just finishing dinner. We went back to my sister's hotel room and just hung out. It was really fun.

Saturday was the big day. I got to babysit while my sisters and nieces got their hair done. When the baby woke up she was well let's just say less then thrilled that her mama wasn't there and I was. Luckily her Papa was right next door and came to rescue us. The wedding was beautiful and my niece was absolutely gorgeous!!! It was fun. The next big event for the weekend was waiting for my beautiful fabulous great niece to poop and when she finally did I think that event was as big as the wedding.

Sunday was just a day of relaxation. We ate the buffet there that night and then we left for our long drive back while everyone else stayed there one more night. I hate goodbyes!!! This one was hard because my younger sister was flying back to Germany and who knows how long it will be before I get to see her again. I sure do miss her a lot. She is my best friend and it is hard being so far apart. I never thought we would ever be half a world away from one another. Truthfully I thought we would all end up in Coalinga or Fresno. Not the way it happened though. I hope to get to my other sister in September when I go "home" for my 20 year reunion!!

I am still waiting to hear on my job and John's job. John has worked his construction job two days this past week and three days next week. He will then work a full week the following week. We are hoping to hear from Sears this next week. We might also hear about my job next week also. They are suppose to start calling people on Monday. So everyone big prayers and keep your fingers crossed. I really hope I get to stay at Stevenson and keep my job!! I guess we shall see.

Well till next time.
God Bless

Excitement

Things have been ok here. John got a call from Sears on Friday to go put in an application and a resume. We are excited because it is a perfect job for him. It is for electronic technician. We are excited because it one he can easily get. So we are praying really hard that he wins them over.

The blanket is completely done!!! YEAH!! We put the backing and the ribbon on today. It is gorgeous. I LOVE it and I hope my beautiful niece and her gorgeous little girl love it as much as I do. I can't wait to give it to here. I get to see her in four days. We are excited we get to go to Vegas in less then a week. A weekend for John and I alone. YEAH!!! I can't wait.

My job is still in the air. I will have a job next year we just don't know where yet.

Well take care.
God Bless.
