How Indecisive Can I Be.....

from Day 1 of wedding planning I have LOVED Navy Blue and Pink.  I was going for the look of a Vineyard Vines label.  As plans have become more definitive I have had some second thoughts.  I had pictured navy blue and a soft powder pink.  Then through the influence of others it morphed into a deep pink.  The more I looked for wedding things the more I grew to dislike the colors.  They are too rich and both make great dominant colors but not so great to compliment each other.  That along with the fact that I have always said I did NOT want pink as a wedding color has put me back at square one.  I have two combos that I am quite fond of.  Since our wedding will be one week before Christmas I want to be able to have that winter-y feel without having red and green.

Red and Aqua

Navy and Moss

I really hope Scotty will love one of these.  Since the intended venue is open and on the side of the river I feel like the green and aqua will be pulled in.  Then we are still left with a Christmas-y red and green.

Bubbles and Brushes

I am covered in paint, but I have something to show for it for once.  Bethany, Ashley, and I decided that we would do some art therapy.  They are really good, I am really not but it has been fun regardless. 

Had a new funny at school this week.  I read the story The Principal from the Black Lagoon.  My class began talking about principals.  One little boy stated that our principal lived on the roof and talked through a hole in the ceiling.  It just blew his mind when I explained that she worked in the office and talked through a special phone.  Later in the day he got to take a tour and even make an announcement; he was beyond excited. 

Yet another reason I love my kiddos!

Playing Catch Up

I am starting a new chapter in many parts of my life, that said I felt it fitting to have a new blog.  It is hard to believe Scotty and I have been engaged for a full 2.5 months! I still catch myself thinking "Oh he's about to pop the question!" When he does something out of the norm.  I cannot believe how fast time is flying by.  As of today we have been together a full 40 months! That is insane to think about.  I only hope the next 40 years are as wonderful as these 40 months have been.  I am not into full swing wedding planning mode yet but I am getting close.  Venue, colors, and wedding party have all been chosen which is a lot to accomplish.  We had a wonderful engagement party thrown for us so that everyone could meet, it was fabulous.  Hectic, but fabulous.  the very next day I moved into my own apartment alone and got ready for my first day of student teaching.  I cannot believe that day has come and gone so quickly as well.  It is hard to believe that in less than a year I will be preparing my OWN classroom not someone else's (God willing).  It is scary and surreal all at the same time.  I absolutely adore the classroom of kiddos I have now.  All 18 energetic kiddos.  They are always saying the funniest things.  Favorites so far have been:
When talking about loosing teeth
"Don't worry I keeped up with all my teeth I didn't lose any of them."
"Ms. B what does mean mean?"
"Ms. B did I get all the poopies?"
I'm sure there will be MANY more soon.
Just a few photos of the past month to cap everything off.
