top 2 tuesday...cities!

Happy Tuesday y'all!

I had another great and busy day at work and am still so thankful for this job :)

When I got home, I immediately changed into some comfy clothes to relax! Now I'm linking up with The Undomestic Momma's Top Two Tuesday!

This week's topic is cities :)

Now, I'm not a world traveler and have never even been on a plane! I know, I know...it's crazy! I just get too scared and worry about what could happen. I just need to get over it! Even though I haven't been to any exotic, faraway places, here are two of my favorite southern cities :)

{one}

Savannah, Georgia

We only live 45 minutes from Savannah and I sometimes take it for granted how close we are! Savannah is such a beautiful, charming, and historic city with so many fun things to offer.

We had to retake some wedding pictures last year in Savannah and had so much fun!

{two}

Charleston, SC

Charleston is another beautiful and historic southern city and reminds me a lot of Savannah! We've been there a few times and it's just so gorgeous!

What are your favorite cities?

Hope everyone has had a terrific Tuesday!

miscellany monday...first day of work edition!

Happy Monday y'all!

I'm linking up with Carissa on this beautiful Monday afternoon to tell y'all about my first day of work :)

{one}

I had a GREAT first day at work today! My day was mainly spent signing some papers, getting my fingerprint made in the system to sign in in the mornings, shadowing the other Title 1 teacher, getting my school laptop, and helping make my schedule. I met a lot of the teachers I'll be working with as well as some of the students. I'll be working one on one with a few students but will also be helping out teachers in 3rd through 5th grade classes with small groups and things like that. I really think this will be a great school year!

{two}

My sweet hubby sent me some balloons and a box of Whitman's Sampler chocolate...my favorite! He sure does know the way to my heart :)

{I've already broken into my chocolate and it was delicious :) The sweet little card said, "I love you! Hope you have a great 1st day!" The little book just has great teachery quotes!}

{three}

I'm surprisingly not exhausted after today even though I woke up at 5:15 and left for work before the sun came up! I sure hope I'll be tired later on tonight!

{four}

I wore this top and pants from New York and Company to school today along with a simple black cardigan and these black sandals...

{five}

I share my office with two other ladies which is great so we can chit chat and I can ask them questions (which I know I'll be doing!) between classes. I don't have to really do any decorating but I need to get a few things for my desk :)

{six}

I just love my little J notepad and super cute planner I got...

{seven}

Thank you all so much for all the congratulations and well wishes! It means SO much to me :)

Hope everyone has had a marvelous Monday!

sunday funday!

Happy Sunday y'all!

We've had a busy Sunday so far and the day isn't over yet! We went to Sunday school, church, lunch at McAlister's, and now we're at home for a bit before going to the mall and TJ Maxx. At 5:00, I have to go to my old sorority house to attend a new member meeting since I am the New Member Advisor :) Then, we're going to church at 6:30. Hopefully this busy day will make me sleepy so I can go to bed early so that I can wake up at 5:15 for my first day of work!

Since it's Sunday, I'm playing along with MannLand5 and answering the fun Getting to Know You questions :)

1. If you accidently knick a car in a parking lot..Do you leave a note or do you get the heck out of there?

As long as it wasn't a major knick or huge dent, I'd leave! Is that bad of me?!

2. Love your body or plastic surgery?

Of course there are some parts of my body that I don't love but I'd be to scared to have plastic surgery!

3. What about your favorite blog(s) continues to drive you back?

I love blogs that I can relate to... newlyweds, Southerners, fashionable, funny, God loving, with a few fun pictures here and there :)

4. What percent of your blog is BS just to make your life seem more interesting than it really is?

My blog is 100% me! My life isn't the most interesting in the world but I always post about what I'm feeling/thinking/loving each day!

5. If you had to give up one type of meat for the rest of your life, what would it be?

Deer meat! This isn't something I eat a lot of anyway but I've had this a few times and it's just not my favorite! I also feel bad for the poor little deer :(

6. How often to you eat out?

Before we got married, we'd go out to eat WAY too much! But once we got married, we love making our menu and cooking supper together :) We usually go out to eat on Friday or Saturday nights and after church on Sunday.

7. Skinny jeans or boot cut jeans?

I like them both! I love to wear my skinny jeans to tuck into my boots and wear with cute flats but I also like my boot cut jeans. Some may think that skinny jeans aren't flattering but as long as you buy a pair that isn't skin tight and stretchy they're very cute :)

8. If you caught your spouse cheating would you forgive, divorce, or plan your kill?

I know this would never happen because me and my hubby are madly in love ;) but it it were I know I wouldn't kill him!

Hope everyone is having a blessed Sunday and has had a wonderful weekend!

happy friday!

Happy Friday y'all!

I first want to say how thankful I am for all the congratulations on my new job :) I'm SO excited and am so thankful for this opportunity!

I saw this little idea (5 things Friday) over at Katie's and decided to play along :)

5 things I did yesterday

{1} subbed in PE

{2} went and got fingerprinted for my new job

{3} talked to my friend/sorority sister/old roomie/bridemaid Jessica

{4} made chicken and broccoli alfredo for supper

{5} watched Project Runway

5 random things on my mind

{1} I'm excited but a little nervous about starting work on Monday.

{2} Speaking of the new job, it's going to be a shock having to get up at 5:30 a.m. so that we can leave at 6 to make it to school on time...yes, my new job is a couple of towns over (the only negative)!

{3} I wonder where J and I are going for supper tonight because I'm hungry!

{4} We're going to Savannah tomorrow to go out to eat with a couple from church.

{5} Speaking of church, we need to do our "homework" for Sunday school.

5 things I can't live without right now

{1} my hubby

{2} little Daisy

{3} The kindness of my sweet friend Amy...check out this super sweet post she wrote that just brought tears to my eyes :) She's just the sweetest!

{me and Amy with our hubby's!}

{4} my blog...I never thought I'd grow to love blogging this much when I started it over a year and a half ago but I do! It just relaxes me to wake up (well, now it will be to come home from work!) and read what's going on in y'alls live, to write about what's on my mind, and meet new friends!

{5} my comfy bed :) It's been a long day and I know next week will be a long week so my bed may be my best friend for a while!

5 things I'm grateful for

{1} my new job...obviously!

{2} for growing up with such a loving family

{3} Knowing that God is never in a hurry but his timing is always perfect!

{4} my wonderful husband and all he does for us

{5} God's love!

Hope everyone has had a fantastic Friday and has a wonderful weekend!

finally...

Happy Thursday y'all!

I have some exciting news to share...

I finally have a full time teaching position!

I had the interview Wednesday afternoon and the principal hired me before I left the interview :)

I'm the newest Title 1 teacher in reading and math which means I'll be working with students who are struggling in reading and math. The students will come to me during their reading or math time or I'll be going into their rooms to work with them.

I'm SO excited to finally have a "big girl" job :) I've loved substituting and meeting new teachers, students, and not having to work every day but I'm so glad to finally be in a school and have a full time job!

I'll be working at the same school as my sister-in-law so we'll be carpooling together which is great!

I start Monday so I'll definitely let y'all know how it goes :)

Hope everyone has had a great Thursday!
