Week Day Fun!

April has been SUPER busy-seriously the busiest time in our lives so far in 2013! This past week, we had lots of fun activities that happened. Typically, I don't go out and do anything fun on a school night-if you are a teacher then you understand. I'm exhausted by the end of the day. However, we had some super fun activities this week.

Tuesday night we went to the rebel road trip! We chatted with our fellow senatobian/favorite football coach and gave him our well wishes for the upcoming season! Already excited about this fall!  

If you know anything about the Brandon schools here- you will know that it is bulldog/maroon everywhere!! Seriously. I had to add some blue and red to our hallway by displaying this lovely schedule for all to see. I'm trying to teach my students some valuable life lessons. 

Speaking of school..here are my students participating in the Brandon Pay it Forward Day! Each student had a task card to do at least 3 kind things for another student, teacher, or staff member in our building. We all had a great time-I'm sure getting a little bit sad about letting them move on. This time of year is very bittersweet. I always hate saying goodbye to a sweet group of kiddos. 

We had a mid-week dinner date! Ginny (aka my twin!) and I showed up color coordinating. 

..and if you know Julie, you will know she wasn't happy about being left out of the picture. So here's for you Jules!! Paparazzi. 

Have a great week!! I can't believe MAY is almost here!!! 

Beach Bachelorette!

Last Friday, I took a personal day to head south for a little fun in the sun! We were thrilled to be celebrating our best friend's upcoming wedding! Fran and I have been best buds since freshman year of college-almost 8 years ago. CRAZY! I love this group of friends so much and I am so grateful for all the fun times we have together. This weekend was no exception :)

A little flashback just for giggles....

This is Fran and I at a rush party way back in the day! We were great friends from the start! We have many things in common including sharing the same love for cheerleading, pageants, weddings, and all things fancy and proper. 

And flash forward to today! 

Passing the crown to the next June bride. 

Here are some pictures from the weekend, Betsy Carol and Emily did such a great job planning everything. Our friend, Allie, was so gracious to let us stay in her gorgeous beach house! Everything was perfect. 

Look at that view! heavenly! 

My best bud and I enjoying the perfect weather! 

Mimosas to start the morning! 

Getting ready for a night out

Best friends! 

I love these girls!! 

Pretty girls! 

We hope you had a wondeful bachelorette Fran! We can't wait for June 22nd!!! Love you! 

Becca's Derby Day!

Two things I thought I would never do-Cheer for KD on derby day and have it be in Starkville! Oh, does God have a sense of humor?! haha. But I happily did both today to support baby becca in her last derby day! I had to make sure I documented the occasion:

Becca is on the far right. They did such a great job! 

I was so excited my sweet Taylor got to come with me and experience her first derby day! I tried to convince her all day that Ole Miss XO was better, not sure I was successful though:) 

  

..And KD wins! 

Congrats Bec! All the hard work paid off! 

Being at derby day made me very nostalgic of my derby days! This and charity bowl were always the highlight of spring events for me (always the cheerleader inside me!) 

Dukes of Derby Day-My first derby day back in 2006! Seems like forever ago, back when Julie and I were blonde (haha!!) 

Oh, to be in college again...
