Here comes the change!!!

So for those of you who haven't heard....

I RESIGNED!!!

I will no longer work for the City of Nederland effective March 3rd wooohooo!

Of course there is so much more to why I decided to resign (some really crummy things went down) but I have been talking about teaching for a long time now and this was the little push (ok who am I kidding it was a HUGE shove) that I needed to step out, trust God, and see what happens! Sal and I are so excited to move into this new place in our lives. I am going to take some time off to regroup, rest, and recuperate and then start the process of reaching my goals!

Thanks for all your prayers and kind words! They have helped been an amazing encouragement!!!

Change is coming...

...ready or not here it comes! I'll post more when I know the details, but we are resting in the peace that our God HAS A PLAN, He WILL SUCCEED, and We GET TO PARTICIPATE!!! Keep our family in your prayers, we will need it and will be relying on our friends thru these changes.

OH And I haven't forgotten to post the pictures of Houston, things have just been a little crazy!!

We're Back!!!

Sal and I had an amazing time in Houston but we were so ready to be back home with our little boy! I took some great pictures that I will post tomorrow but I wanted to pass on the Top 5 things about this weekend...I thought about them on our way home heehee!

Number 5:

5 AMAZING deals at Burlington Coat Factory - we saved more than half on everything - Sal got a snazzy outfit to wear to our fancy dinner and I got some killer grey shoes and awesome clutch!

Number 4:

It took us FOUR attempts at finding Lupe Tortillas!! Thank goodness for our navigator on my phone!

Number 3:

Three close calls with stupid drivers. The next time I get nervous when Sal is driving and fuss at him and he responds by saying "Who's driving?"I will remember this weekend. :)

Number 2:

Two of the best meals we've ever had! Yummm-o! Churrasco's and Lupe Tortilla !! Yummy Yummy Yummy! (I'll post more about this later!)

Number 1:

One great night in a wicked awesome hotel - but I do love my bed better heehee!

Like I said we had an amazing time in Houston, but I realized more this weekend that when you have a baby it changes EVERYthing. I didn't know I could miss someone so much...my sweet Isaac.

5 Years...

Wow - Saturday was Sal and My 5th Wedding Anniversary. We got married on Superbowl weekend (we don't watch football so this wasn't a really big deal) and this year it fell on the same weekend again! We've only gone out of town once before for our anniversary, and needless to say it left a lot to be desired *sigh* that's another story in and of it self! I digress...this year Sal is taking me on a mini get away!!! We are going to Houston for the weekend, leaving Isaac with my mom and dad :)

We're staying at Hotel Derek , eating at Churrascos and going dancing Friday!! We've never done anything like this before and I am so excited! I made the link to the hotel because I told my friend Shannon I had to stay there because of the pictures of the bathrooms, crazy I know but they look amazing!!!! We are also going to check out Central Market and Dave & Busters and of course IKEA!!! WOOOHOO!!

We leave Friday!! I will post pictures of our adventure when we get back. Until then, I need some advice from my seasoned mommy friends. How did you make leaving your little ones for the first time easier (on them and you)? I want to really enjoy my time with Sal but I have a feeling come oh I'd say 8:00 pm (bed time) on Friday, Sal and I may get a bad case of home/Isaac-sickness. So leave me a comment of how you and yours made it! Thanks!! Love you all!!!

Drinking from a glass? Huh?

During dinner Isaac got thirsty, so he gave drinking out of my glass a try!

I can so do this on my own, sheesh!

He got so tickled when he would pick up the glass,
probably because he could see us watching him.

Safety Lock....yeah right

Anyone with children believes that their kid is the smartest, but I really really believe that Isaac is on the genius level! haha! He's almost got the safety locks figured out. He pulls the door out, study's the white lock, slides his finger down and pushes with all his little might!

"Are you watching?"

"Ugggh, almost got it"

"I'm not giving up...too much pressure with the camera mom!"

OK So maybe he didn't open the door yet, but he figured out the battery box!! He's so smart!

Thank's for letting me brag!!

Hey may not laugh all the time....

but he sure does smile a lot!
