Should I stay or should I go?

Shelly works with a lady named Mary, who travels to London a lot (her husband lives there) Mary is going this summer, the Monday after I am done with school. She wants us to come with her. She is paying for the hotels we just have to get food, plane tickets, and spending money. Shelly said if I need to she can pay for my ticket and I can take it off the rent $100 at a time. I can afford it but I am going to Portland this summer for sure so that may make it a little tight. So I like the Shelly plan, and if it turns out I can afford it I will just pay her back faster. We are also going to Valencia, Spain for $45 Sooo what do you think...should I stay or should I go?

Life is greatness...

Things that get better with age...
1. Cheese
2. Sheets (more cuddly)
3. Families
4. Fruit Trees
5. Friendships
6. Casseroles (before they get moldy)
7. Wine
8. Stacy's Life

Yes, I am finding with each year new abundant blessings are poured down upon my life. This year is no different. We started off the year with a bang. Daddy started his new job, Jennifer started a new life (Nicholi's life), Trish is starting a new Journey with her engagement, I started a new car, and hopefully soon Momma will be starting lots of new things!!

Yes, Lefty is gone. She was a good ol' car but it was time to move on. I bought a 2007 Saturn Aura!! I looooove it! It has everything I could dream of, sunroof, a place for my ipod, leather seats, and most importantly BOTH windshield wipers work!!! WOOT! It is perfect.

This week I will be getting a new roommate! This will offset the cost of the car which is great. Her name is Shelly, she is an x-ray tech at a hospital near by. I have a feeling that we will have a lot of fun together. She is the one in the picture from the Roger Creager concert. We already have tickets to the George Strait/Reba concert at the new stadium in June!!! We also are playing volley ball on Monday nights right now and when that is done we will probably go back to Monday night tennis. Great fun.

I just took some pictures for a good friend of mine at the arboretum. She got engaged a while ago but we wanted to do her photos at the arboretum during the Dallas Blooms so we went there. I am now the proud owner of a membership for the arboretum!! This means that any day I can get up to six people in with me for free. So Trish whenever you are ready for some engagement photos I have a plan and some practice. We can even take your picture in front of a pirate ship...oooOOOooo.

My kiddos did really well on the TAKS test. I had 93% passing and the rest of them were really close. They will pass the next round!

Keep praying for my friend Marsha's baby. He is doing okay right now but they are thinking they are going to have to go back in for a surgery soon. (juneish) He has a variety of different problems and the doctors can't seem to figure out the deal. Please go and read her caringbridge web blog and sign her guestbook for some encouragement. The link is... http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/xanderthomaswade and her and her husband Ryan check it daily for words of prayer and encouragement.

Other than that I have been trying to stay busy...I have been going to a few concerts, working on plans for school, playing a few sports, and loving life. I hope to get out and visit Jennifer soon!! I can't wait to see Nicholi, I am thinking sometime in my vacation months...(I love teaching) :) That's all I got how'd ya like that? Love you all!!

Roger

Went to Gilley's with my good friend Shelley...we had a blast watching some Roger Creager. More concerts are coming up too!! Most exciting will be the George Strait Reba concert at the new Cowboys Stadium!! I can't wait!!

Great Weekend!

I had an awesome weekend! Like I said in my last post it started with a wonderful night at the symphony with my sister Trish. Last night I made it out to the PBR with some friends from church, we had a blast I have some pics of what we saw. Today I topped it off with some down time with my best buds the Wades.


On our ride home on the DART I found out that Eastfield College near Dallas has a great teacer program...however I do not recommend going there to become a teacher.

Update yo...

Last time I "blogged" was the day before Trish's birthday...I have been busy okay!!

On Trish's birthday we went out and had a wonderful evening. My parents were in town and we had so much fun together! We went to Dodies, on the Harbor, and then to Fireside Pies for some drinks and desserts.









For Christmas Trish bought me tickets to the Dallas Symphony Orchestra. I went tonight with Trish, Jeremy, and Jeremy's friend Jason. First, we went to the Blue Marlin and had yummy pasta. Then we were headed for a great time and a little adventure. This was the first time any of us had been to a real symphony. We had front row seats, apparently this is not a good thing, we were sooo close the drummer and violinist told us we should sneak into the balcony during the second act, so we did. They were right the sound was much better from up there!

Thanks for the dinner and tickets Trish!! It was great fun! :)




Now it is time to go and get some rest because tomorrow I am gong to the PBR at the American Airline Center! Great fun! :)

Goodbye old year. Happy New Year!!!!

We spend January 1 walking through our lives, room by room, drawing up a list of work to be done, cracks to be patched. Maybe this year, to balance the list, we ought to walk through the rooms of our lives... not looking for flaws, but for potential.

Happy new year to all. Of course I am a little late in posting but what can I tell you it wouldn't be Stacy's world if I were on time.

I had an awesome time with my family over the holidays. I went to Graham and relaxed a while, helped Daddy move out of the old office and into the new. Relaxed some more and had lots of great fun. We decided this year to break from tradition and have steak on Christmas day instead of Turkey. Was it weird, with steak that good there was no room for weird! Anywho Christmas was wonderful!

I was lucky enough to ring in the new year with some new friends. We had an awesome time playing games, watching movies, and eating yummy sweets at my friend Cassie's house. It was great fun.

A few days later I was able to meet up with some of my old college buddies. (look at me sounding all old and stuff) We went to the Cotton Bowl. We arrived in the parking lot at around 9 a.m. The game didn't start until two but that did not mean the festivities had to wait until then! We had a good time catching up and cooking out. Wish I could say our team did a great job and we celebrated a victory, but my Red Raiders lost, and we celebrated other things instead while we waited for the traffic to clear out.

Now I am back in the grove of school, still loving teaching. Right now we are finishing up our first semester. Mid term exams are next week! After that it is on to learning about tolerance, TAKS practice, The Outsiders, Tom Sawyer and much more.

I got a new camera for Christmas and am still trying to figure things out. I have a few picture posted here and the rest are on my picasa. I have some video of that amazing Goin' Band From Raider Land too. Someday I will have time to sit down and figure out how to post video that doesn't take day to load. Until then deal with the pictures!

I hope everybody has started their new year out with a bang. Lets have a fabulous 2009!!
