Just Saying Hello!




I just wanted to take a minute to say hello to all of you gals over at Memory Mania. I hope every one is having a great new years and is getting lots of scrapping done. I apologize for not posting sooner. Seems as though I am learning much on the road of life right now there is no too much real news to share. LOL!

I have heard from a few of you over the past few months and that has meant more to me than you will ever know!!!! It was quite a bit lonesome over here in the beginning, but has gotten better since Rob and I have gotten our own place (with a scrapbook room) and I have found a store near by to play and meet new freinds that happens to be down the street. (yikes, I know!!!!)

I have passed both my Special Ed and General Elementary Ed tests so I am still looking for jobs and have a miillion applications out. :) I have been substituting all during this school year and I LOVE LOVE LOVE it! One of my sisters just moved to N. Houston and my dad is moving about 30 minutes away from us so we are very excited!!!!

Owen is doing good, and LAZY. He gets jealous of Rob sometimes but is adjusting. I keep telling him that he still gets more scrapbook layouts done about him than Rob. ;) He misses being with the other pups at my dad's.

I had a great visit with Natalie over Christmas and we were reminiscing about the "good ole days" we worked and cropped with all of you. Laughing and singing and doing a little cropping until 2 am or so. HaHa! We keep in touch, she is doing wonderful and I will have to get her to post an update for ya'll here too. We still feed inspiration off each other even though we are so far away! I have to kick her butt into gear and get her scrapping, but we talk on the phone and share emails with our pages. Hey...I'll take what I can get :)

I miss you all very much. I hope you are all scrapping away and taking lots of classes! HEHE! I hope to have great news to report soon on the job front. In the meantime I have scrapbooked....ALOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! over the past few months and we all know how much of a treat that is!!!! So drop me a line some time!!! I have a blog that you can come to see pics and pages. I try to keep it updated for the friends and fam I don't get to see all the time.

I hope to see all of you very soon! I miss hearing about what is going on with you all!!! Say lots of prayers for me to be getting a teaching gig soon!!!! Lots and lots of love coming you from Houston.
