I have been waiting for this month for so long......and now it is here. Actually it is half way over with. Wow. Should have known the one the month I did not want to end is ending. Grrr
Christmas is by far my favorite time of the year. I love everything about it. Josh and I have of course already opened our stockings..and that boy did amazing this year! Tomorrow we are having our Christmas date, and I am pretty pumped about it. We will definitly be eating at Buffalo Wild Wings tomorrow night. Yes this girl right here is beyond pumped!!!! Then we will open our gifts...once again I am pumped!
I told myself I would actually get some wedding planning done while I am off from school. I have yet to do anything!!! Oh well...the honeymoon is planned, I have the dress, and my groom is amazing..that is all I really need. July cannot get here fast enough. Less than 7 months till we get to meet Baby Miller and I finally get married!!!

Distractions.
This weekend was pretty amazing! Although I have been studing for finals since Thursday, I took time this weekend away from studying. Saturday I went with Mrs. Miller to look for her bridesmaids dress. Of course when she arrived at my house I rubbed her not-yet-present-baby bump. Then off to David's Bridal we went! This was by far the easiest shopping experience ever...why? Because Amy knew exactly what she wanted! And it look amazing on her! Now lets pray Baby Miller arrives as expected. If not, it will be okay, as long as she/he arrives safe and sound I will one happy girl (and Amy will be one happy momma)!
Saturday night I went to my future in-laws to watch the Ga game....we are just going to leave it at that...there is always next year.
Sunday was a full day of watching House (thank you Ed and Tabitha, Josh and I are addicted). Of course I put of studying long enough and returend to it.
I only have one final that I am actually worried about. And when I realized I could not lose HOPE, I stopped worrying so much. HOPE will also only pay for four more hours next semester, so even if I did lose it would not be that big of a deal.
So today I am back to studying for the final that I have on Thursday...but of course life in general is WAY more interesting then Europe in the 20th century.

That light at the end of the tunnel...
I have a week and half left in this semester!!! I am once again doing my little happy dance!
The past couple of weeks have been slightly entertaining. First we got to meet that precious baby Rayne. She is beyond perfect. Josh now has baby fever, it is so cute!
Second, I took Josh shopping for Christmas gifts. We shopped for SIX hours and only bought two presents...Never again!!! I wil soo go by myself from now on. Third, we had Thanksgiving. I am more of Christmas person, but Josh loves it. So like I previously said I baked an orange cake and two chocolate pies. Fourth, I hard an allergic reaction to the antibiotic for my tooth. Which of course caused me to have a panic attack bc I have never been allergic to anything!!! Bubby was always the one who was allergic to everything.
No I am patiently waiting for the end of this semester. Life will be so much more entertaining when I am not worried about finals.

Tis the Season!
Although I love Summer, this time of the year is possibly my favorite. I love spending time with my family, even if they are a bit crazy. I also enjoy cooking, yes cooking! It kind of relaxes me. So with Thanksgiving around the corner I have been thinking of different things that I could cook. For Josh's side I am baking his favorite: Orange Cake. It is extremely easy to make, and he thinks it is the bomb, so WINNER! Yes I do hand squeeze an orange to make it better.
For my family's dinner, I am making my famous chocolate pie. Yes famous. My family is convinced it is the best (and papa accidentally said that it was better than my granny's). I actually created this recipe on my own. I love my Granny's and Mammaw's chocolate pie, but them being grandmothers, they do not have recipes for them. So I came up with my own.
I have no idea what I am doing for Christmas yet. I thought about making a chocolate cake with white icing and decorating it with snowmen, but I haven't decided yet.
For those of you who love to bake, you should check out the Cake Doctor. It helps you create cakes that taste homemade but come from a box.

Crazy week
So I thought that I had this whole placement thing figured out. I decided to stay with Mrs. Baggett...but of course it could not be that simple. Well as of right now, I am back with Mrs. McClary at North Murray..at least I won't have to drive too far.
Then I week up this morning with a tooth ache. I have been complaining about about this tooth ever since I had it filled. I was actually convinced that they missed up my filling. But this morning it was worse. So of I called the dentist to make an appointment. The x-rayed the tooth, and then the dentist says, "You have cracked the front of your tooth."
My response, "I don't play extreme sports, so how did that happened?"
"Do you grind your teeth?"
Oh...yea..about that...
I have been grinding my teeth since I was like six. Yes I have TMJ. Have ever bothered to wear a night guard? Nope..of course not! Guess who now has a mouth guard? Yep me.
What made it better? That I have to have a root canal, and since the canal is so small I have to go to a specialist. Do you know when I can have it done...not till the end of the month. FML!!!!!!!
On a better note....AMY IS PREGNANT!!!!!!! Can you tell I am a bit excited? I have been worried that I would slip up and say something before she announced it to the world (thank you for finally doing that!). So now I have two reasons for the next Summer to get here, my wedding and the arrival of Baby Miller! EEKK!! And yes I am probably more excited about Baby Miller than my own wedding haha!

Roomie Time
After the stress of having to decide where I might student teach, it was nice to have some roomie time. Okay so we have not lived together in like three years, but she will always be my roomie. We spent most of the time working on our invitations and finaly have it figured out.
Today we went dress shopping. It was extremely relaxing to just stand there not be the one forced into dresses. But she ended up finding one that looks perfect on her! Now I just need to take my other three bridesmaids to get there dresses :)

My luck
So, for the past two months DSC had led me to believe that I would return to Mrs. Noll at southeast. I have been beyond pumped about this. Today I received an email staying that principal did not want a student teacher there bc they were "reconstructing the history department."
You mean the principal who is retiring in 27 days? You mean the department who has shitty teachers besides the two amazing teachers I asked for?
Then they tell me I have two days to find a back up plan. What?!? I sorry but I didn't have a backup plan!
I talked to Mrs. Noll, the principal NEVEr told her that I could not be there. He NEVER asked her about it. He always fired Mrs. Noll from being department head while she was on maternity leave. WTF? So basically I got screwed over by a principal who is mad at the SHS history department and is leaving.
Mad probably doesn't even begin to explain how I am feeling right now.

193 and 257
193days till I graduate from DSC.
257 days till I marry my best friend, which means 258 days till I FINALLY get to go on my honeymoon!!!!!!
Can you tell I am just a bit excited. Today is a huge day! Yea I know it is Halloween, but that is not the reason I am excited. Today ends the month of chaos! I have completed 2/3 of the things that were due this semester, no more weddings (for this year), and no more GACE (for this year).
Life has been going pretty amazing! My monkey boys are in town, and I have had a blast with them. Josh taught Noah how to play Angry Birds, so yes my phone has been dead due to his extreme playage. Matt Matt drew on my car door :( Not too happy about that one, but I still love him. I also feel like I have received a lot of exciting news here lately!
Anywhos, I feel like I am about to be in full wedding plan mode! Ashley is coming to visit Saturday and we are going to look for bridesmaids dresses. I have pretty much decided that I will let each bridesmaid choose her own dress as long as it comes in the blue I want. That seems the easiest and that way I know that they feel comfortable in it. I am also starting to think about music. I have most of it picked out, but I really could use help on a Mother/Son song. If anyone has any ideas please let me know. We are slowly starting to register for items. Over Christmas break Josh and I plan on going to Bed, Bath, and Beyond. They have one of those guns things that you see people using in movies to register, and yeah Josh really wants to use one, bless him!
My aunts are already starting to plan my shower (for their side of the family). It cracks me up, but I will let them do whatever they want as long as I end up with gifts, I mean who doesn't like receiving gifts?

Light at the end of the tunnel
One week left in this month..
Thank goodness!
Hopefully by the end of this month my life might go back to normal. Josh and I have been SO busy the past couple of weeks. This past Saturday we went to Cameron and Alex's wedding. It was BEAUTIFUL!! We almost froze to death, but it was still gorgeous. It made me want to hurry up and marry Josh!!
I am enjoying life at the middle school level. Robin Baggett is an amazing teacher and I love working with her. Is it sad that my seventh graders are way smarter than my tenth graders? I have decided to go back to Southeast next semester. I know that it will be farther to drive, but I was happiest there.
No I have not done any wedding planning. Although I did buy our invitations and I am hoping one of my amazing bridesmaids will help me put them together. Pizza party? I will probably drive Josh insane over our honeymoon....Sorry but it was I am looking forward to the most. I seriously talk about it on a weekly basis. Eh...oh well.
Anywhos...I think I might finally see that light at the end of the tunnel...200 days till I graduate!!!
Thank goodness!

Life...
Life has been complete chaos for, um, the last month?
I finished my time up at North Murray...thank goodness! I am now at Bagley with Robin Baggett..I love her! But I am not a middle school person, I prefer high school.
I take the GACE for the second time this weekend...stressed much? I am only taking the world history part since I failed it by 2 POINTS! I have literally been studying every night for two weeks! What makes it worse? Oh yea I am suppose to attend a wedding Saturday at four...GACE starts at one. I hope to make it back in time for at least the reception. Josh is in the wedding so I really wanted to be there, so Amy save me a seat and keep your cell phone with you, bc I will probably be texting you "Has it started yet?" Haha
I have so much stuff to do this month: a presentation, two papers, a lesson plan, two test, and education philosophy. Blah. I am so busy that I literally have something to do every night for the next three weeks!!! I seriously need a break. On top of that we have another wedding next weekend.....can we add like an extra 5 hours to each day? It would help...
And for those of you who are wondering, no we have nothing new on the wedding. Life has been too chaotic to think about it...well except for the honeymoon part where we get to live this place for a couple of days. Seriously can July 14, 2012 get here any faster?
I also just realized I have managed to get hair spray all over my glasses and phone...I was wondering why I was seeing these little dots, then I took of my glasses and it made perfect sense....
Oh, well back to work...maybe when November rolls around I might get a chance to see someone outside of Josh and the people at school....
