Sweets for my sweet :)

I found a delicious looking dessert on Pinterest today! I plan on making it this afternoon before I head out of town! Gotta leave Mr. DT with something so he doesn't waste away! :)

Birthday plans are coming together! Leneeah and I decided we need to rent a boat and head out on the water for a day! I love the lake, tubing, getting some sun, the whole idea of being on the lake... except for when it comes time to get in the water. EW. I can taste that nasty lake water now. It doesnt take long to get past it once I get out there, and I know you're thinking "you're not supposed to drink it!" But somehow I always get a mouthful by being splashed, or while Im trying to ski..and failing.. I drink up half the lake. Anyways. I am SO looking forward to it!

Summer is near

So my summer begins at 12:20 tomorrow. I can hardly wait. Although, I'm going to miss my squirrelly bunch of firsties! Those little guys have just stolen my heart. Seems like as soon as I'm done with school, DT will be starting his school year up! Thank goodness he has decent hours! We'll still be able to enjoy our summertime together! Grillin', raftin', swimmin', aw yeah! I can't begin to put into words how excited I am that he is going into the PTA program! I hope and pray he just absolutely loves it!!

&& here's a picture I snapped of two of my favorite boys, The Mr. And Mav. Marley was, of course, laying on me. They are never allowed on the furniture.. But that rule is really only enforced when the Mr. Is home. I bet the pups are so confused. I'll try not to be 'that' parent with our actual children.. Which I hope we'll have sooner rather than later. ;)

Dang you, Facebook!

Now I remember where I was originally going with that last post. I'm going to try to stay away from Facebook for a while. I'm having a hard time finding my 'place' and Facebook only seems to make it worse. I see my friends that are at the creek all Monday long.. While I'm teaching. Do I want to be there? Am I not appreciative of my Career?! I was there a few years ago, with no cares in the world. Is that life the one I want? Don't think so, but it's hard when you don't feel like you fit in anywhere. Then there are my friends with all the pictures of their babies! And there I go comparing my life away. So I've just decided to stay away.

Deep breath turned into life story!

Oh me. What a weird few weeks. I don't even know where to begin. I'll tell you this though.. I have never wanted to move home so bad, with my hubby of course. I want and need my family. Yes, my messed up family. Feels like more than ever. I've come across a few people lately that I thought were my friends. Little did I know. They have their own agenda and care little about those around them. How sad is that. None of my childhood, high school, college or sorority friends were ever like that. No drama, no nothin. I was so lucky and blessed.. Until the last couple years. It's hard for me to handle. Makes me miss those real, true friendships. In high school, i had friends that would drive over to my house on a school night at like 2am just because i was scared. Both kaitlin and liz have done that multiple times for me! That is what i call true friendship! And I have a few of those, thank the lord! I do have really welcoming, Christian people in my life.. Like in Sunday school, they are wonderful people, but we don't feel like we fit just right. That's it, long story short, we feel out of place right now.

Thank goodness for The girls at work! I am loving every second of getting to know them better! && I'm really looking forward to all the plans we've talked about for summer- camping, ball games, bike rides!

Oh and then there is the family. My mom and mammie need prayers. Lots of them. I Pray they can be understanding and patient with each other while they're under the same roof. I could use a prayer to.. I need guidance. I've been pretty complacent with my relationship with my dad. A week went by without a phone call, then a month, a little weird, now it's five months. Which is sad and disheartening because we were finally finding our comfortable spot. I was calling 'just because' and just to share a thought, and he'd do the same. It was so nice. I finally felt that huge void in my heart starting to be filled. But now, 5 months later, feels like square one. Sigh.

I can smell dinner- I should probably check on that! :)
