Long time no blogging!

Hi everyone!

I haven't been on here in forever!! Teaching has been very hectic and stressful lately with all the TAKS preparation that has been underway at my school. However, I am pleased to say that this past week was the big week and TAKS is now officially over! yay!

Today marks 41 days until I marry my best friend and I cannot wait to walk up the asile and let James take my hand. I love him a lot and this past year apart has shown to me, even more, how much I love him and how good he is to me.

Plus, the wedding means only 2 weeks until our HAWAII honeymoon! WOOOO!!!

If you can't tell I am very excited! ;)

December Happenings! (Part Two)

Since December was filled with a lot of events, I feel like it needed two separate posts :)

After graduation, James and I headed back to Norman because James had to work the week before Christmas :/ I love going up to see him because there are soooo many things to do up there! I know it sounds crazy because Oklahoma is notoriously known for being lame, but Norman is actually a cool place to live...its a big college town and it's only 20 minutes from OKC! While James was at work, Lucy and I went on long walks through the neighborhood that James lives in...its really peaceful! After he got done at work, we went on fun adventures...one of them was snow tubing!

OKC has a AAA Baseball team that is owned by the Texas Rangers (or it used to be...) and they have a stadium downtown that is really big for a AAA team. So every winter, they turn the stadium into a "winter wonderland". There is a kid snow tubing hill that goes from mid deck to home plate and a bigger hill that goes from the upper deck to second base. Of course you know which one James made us go on...the bigger one! It was super scary because I definitely had air and was flying down that hill like crazy. At the bottom, they had bumpers that were supposed to stop you, but they definitely didn't stop me...I just bounced off and kept on going. LOL BUT...it was a lot of fun and I'm glad James took us to do it! It was definitely something out of the ordinary! Here's some pictures we took while we were there!

After our fun filled time in Norman, we headed back home to spend time with my family! I love being home for Christmas! We also got to spend time with our AMAZING friends Jill and Tommy Montoya! We had not seen them in a very long time, so it was good to catch up! Holidays are absolutely the best!

December Happenings! (Part One)

December was CRAZY! I graduated, went to Oklahoma and froze to death, came back home to Christmas, visited my grandparents and old friends, and got a job...thats a lot in one month!

I've graduated from college and I am now a certified teacher...weirdest/coolest feeling in the world! I really do miss the Christmas break that college kids get to enjoy! Now all I get is two weeks and I still have work to do during my time off! Neverless, I love what I do and would definitely not trade it for anything!

Graduation day was a lot of fun! I got to see quite a few people in my family, say goodbye to the amazing friends and professors that I have met while at SHSU, and eat a yummy BBQ celebration dinner at McKenzies. :) Here are some pictures from the day!

The Marshall and Clubb women :)
Aaron and I are the only ones in our family that can look at the camera.

James' dad


Maw Maw and Paw Paw...who is Maw Maw giving the evil eye to??


James and I...both SHSU Alumni!!

Me, Shannon, and Kerri. I love these girls! They braved reading block, methods, and student teaching with me!

So now I am officially an SHSU Alumni! James and I both remarked, on our way to OK. after graduation, how smart our car was right now b/c we are both college graduates...then we looked in the backseat and saw Lucy (our dog) and changed our minds. Poor dummy Lucy ;)
