That was supposed to be like good afternoon...good summer.. mainly because this is most likely to be my only blog this summer pah! haha i'm terrible at this hence my last blog was in February.
Anywho.. SO much has changed!
1. i LOVEEEEED my last school year. I cannot express how much I love those kids!! seriously to the end and back. The kids who needed extra help were willing and desired it which makes all the difference.
(Would love to upload pictures here of them but would also like to keep my trabajo!)
So much personality and love. My tactic for them to show their work during big tests was to encourage them to "show me the love"(showing me the love meant they would do all their work) haha they got a huge kick out of it and would even write on their tests "I'm showing you the love Mrs. Spann". Half of me wanted to move up to 4th grade just so I could have one more year with them. They were just a huge blessing to me all year and I'm sad that I didn't get to blog more about them :(
2. Spring of Weddings!!... First up my best friend from first grade!! Amanda Burton married James MacAlpine! I love them together and am so happy for her, james, and little maddison!
Memorial Day came around to bless THE WAMBRANOS!! Another best friend from Dallas/College got married! holy moly what a fun wedding and celebration!! :) I love you two!
Then my chi-o bestie KATIE WISER marrys Chase! Katie you are 100% gorgeous and i'm so blessed to have you as a friend AND to have you here in Houston! You do make Houston a happier place for me :)
3. Braid's by Blake... After malsi's weddings and for Katie's I decided to get gutsy with trying to do my own (and others) hair for Katie's wedding. Luckily Katie G was ok with it :)
And this is my new coffee friend Crystal! we are supposed to hang out one of these days... :) She was nice enough to let me experiment on her hair as well!
4. Hunaymuffins + non pastries united! These girls are absolutely beautiful and my best friends! I'm so thankful to be able to share anything with you two! LOVE YOU!
5. Still madly in love with my davie :) This is us in Colorado only a few weeks ago :) This is day 1 of beardy growing business. He still has his beardy to this day because everyone loves it.. we shall see how long it lasts!
6. COLORADO adventures - We went fishing!!! Well.. as you can see.. David went fishing in the water and I took pictures :) I do have a video of him catching a fishie but it was just a brookie so i'll remain from posting :)
EXTREME MOUNTAIN BIKING!!! ok look i know you're thinking pff, ya right. Blake has on definitely not extreme clothes and flip flops. Well let me tell you.. this was day 2 after the extremeness!! We had to ride the bikes back down to return them to the store. Anywho.. David, his dad and I went for a 4 hour mountain biking adventure. there were HUGE rocks EVERYWHERE, tree stumps, people, freezing cold water, rain, aspen trees (so pretty) and lots of complaining about my bum. I'm glad i "survived" it though and hung in there with the Spann men.
We also mainly hiked, hiked, and hiked everyday!
Day 1 we hiked through knee deep snow, in shorts. it was interesting, fun and my shins were frozen! This picture is from a hike that we got stopped by waist deep snow :( On the way down David and I decided to hold hands the whole way. It was a lot more challenging than you would think... hiking through snow, rocks, water, mud connected to someone. but we did it! woo hoo (not a huge deal haha)
7. Now it's july and i have less than a month left until Teaching year 3 begins. I'm so thankful for my job and feel blessed to have it and to be in the same school, same room, same grade. God knows where i need to be! So while i'm waiting for August i've been crafting things up with Christine and some girls from Life group. (pictures to maybe come later)
8. I'm also reading The Help. I like it a lot and just saw they're making a movie to come out August 10th about it. I shall be there :)
