Job Reveal!

Wow, I am so out of the loop with things. So sorry I haven't post in a week! A lot of things have happened  so I will tell you all about it :)

Thanksgiving went great! I don't think I took one picture on my camera :(

Black Friday was insane.. I definitely acted like her...

It seemed so much more crowded this year

I guess it was due to the stores opening earlier.

I loved not having to get up at 3am to go shopping, 

but hated all the extra crowds. 

I did mostly what I went for except for at Walmart :(

Loved getting to see Polo over Thanksgiving

Now to my big reveal:

My mom had to retire from being the Family and Consumer Science teacher

this year due to new Alabama insurance laws

(that is a story within itself)

Basically if you had 25 years of teaching and were not close to 60 

your insurance would be super expensive.

Her she was on her last day of teaching

I minored in Family Studies in college and I found out 

with a little work and some extra classes I could be qualified for her job

I applied...

I am now the new Family Consumer Science teacher for SMHS!

I am really excited!!!

My first day!

I am glad my mom will be able to still help me out and show me everything I need to do

This is such a blessing and I am so glad to have a job!

Look at the beautiful flowers my mom sent me

Orange roses are my favorite!

Sunday we celebrated her retirement by going out to eat

I just wanted to catch up on some things! 

I am so blessed :)

Have a great day!

One Lovely Blog Award

Last week I was honored to receive the "One Lovely Blog" award from Life with Elizabeth! I am supposed to share 7 facts about myself and then pass on to 15 other lovely blogs!

1. I love to decorate and plan for parties. I love when someone in my family or friends have a birthday because I like to go all out! I would love to plan parties for a living!

Emily's Princess Party

Jake's Farm Party

Super Bowl Party: Saints vs. Colts

My birthday party with family

Bama gameday party

2. I want to open my own bakery. Since I have been decorating cakes and cupcakes I would love to open my own shop. I know this will not happen anytime soon, but it's ok to dream :)

3. For the next 3 weeks I will be employed as a transfer advisor at a community college, but since the job is based on a grant and it will end in the next few weeks, I will then be unemployed :( I have really enjoyed this job and hopefully I will be able to find one like it very soon!

4. I am obsessed with elephants! While attending school at the University of Alabama I would buy stuffed elephants and now I have a large collection. Here is the latest one from my Easter basket! He is sooo cute :)

5. I am excited that May is just around the corner! May is one of my most favorite months besides December because it always means school is getting out, summer is approaching and last but not least... My Birthday!!! Yesterday, actually was a month until my birthday and I forgot to post about it. I take birthdays very serious. haha If I could I would most definitely celebrate all month long! I did come up with celebrating "birthday eve" :)

6. I am a tv addict. Living away from friends and family this past year has been a little bit lonely so I consoled myself with tv shows. Each night I would have certain ones to watch to make the time go by faster. I just recently started watching The Vampire Diaries and love it! A few shows I could never get enough of are.. Friends, Sex & the City, The Hills, Grey's Anatomy, The Bachelor, One Tree Hill and several more. 

7. I am obsessed with bows! I don't necessarily wear them in my hair, but I really do like them. My friends have bought me rings, necklaces, shirts, etc adorned with bows. I posted my new sunglasses that have bows on the side here.  I recently found a pair I want to get from Sick For Cute: 

Now I get to pass this along to 15 other amazing blogs!
