April 15th 2010

A year ago today my life changed for the better. After dating for 4 1/2 years the man of my dreams proposed to me.

*These were taken RIGHT after he proposed... i had no make-up on and had been having a rough day, he said to me "I think i can make it better" and oh did he!!!! This is me and then him calling his parents!

 These were taken the next day when i was talking to my parents on SKYPE

This year has been amazing... and busy

In the next 2 months I will having alot of "firsts"

1) I will be finishing my first year of teaching

2) i will be getting married

3) Jake and i will be buying our first home

3 HUGE things... all in the next 2 months, and i can't wait!!!  

I have dated Jacob for almost 5 1/2 years and we are very ready to take the next step!!!!

Who Am I?

I am- a teacher, a daughter, a Fiance and a Friend

I want- to teach the world that a disability does not define who a person is

I have- been so blessed to find the love of my life!

I wish- we had a home to call our own

I hate- waking up early :)

I fear- losing my loved ones

I hear- Jacob playing the guitar

I search- for new craft idea's and new healthy quick meals to cook

I wonder- what it will be like to become a mother some day

I regret- being so immature in high school and not getting the most out of it

I love- when it rains and snows!

I ache- when i see others hurting and i can't do anything to help

I always- kiss Jacob goodbye and tell him i love him, even if i'm only going to run errands

I usually- give hugs whenever i can!

I am not- a reader. I wish i liked to read more!

I dance- all the time in my classroom! My kids think i'm nuts and i love it!

I sing- in my classroom, in my car but not very much at home or infront of people, I get shy!

I never- put myself first. This is good and bad i guess

I sometimes- want to be crafty! I want to learn how to sew!

I cry- when I get really frustrated or upset

I am not always- spontaneous. I like to plan stuff out!

I lose- my phone and keys all the time!

I am confused- alot :)

I need- a nap after a long stressful day!

I should- be better about going to the gym more

 

** A few of my friends started this... and encouraged me to take a few minutes and make one. It really makes you stop and think... I now encourage you to take some time and ask yourself these questions :)

Catch Up

I have been awful about keeping up on this Blog but here we go, lets catch up!!

Halloween was great! We spent it here in Allen with friends! Jake and I dressed up as a married couple (his idea) We found these two huge "ball and chains" and dressed up like we were getting married!

Thanksgiving was spend down in Wimberley Texas with Jake's family. We also celebrated his sister Kaitlyn's 18th birthday! It's a tradition in the Hibler household that at 18 we got a ring. I wanted to continue this tradition so Jake and i got Kaitlyn a beautiful ring for her birthday! I also took some pictures of her and Jake for a Christmas gift for their parents!

Christmas we went home to Arizona! This was the first time we had been back in 7 months!!! Jake and i drove the 18 hours out there with 2 cats! They did really good but we were all a little stir crazy toward the end! First thing to do in AZ was to get some wedding plans out of the way. While we were there we picked out the cake, did the food tasting for the reception, got a block of rooms at a hotel, found a rehearsal dinner location and picked out the brides maid dresses! oh yea and picked out the invitations and save the dates and did engagement photo's! It was definitely a productive week!

Oh yea... Christmas was thrown in there too :)

Half way done with September

oh wow... so where has the time gone! September is almost half way done! School has been going great!!! Busy but great I love my school that i'm at and the people i work with, i couldn't have asked for a better group of women! Right now i have 5 kids in the morning class and 8 in the afternoon. They definitely keep me and my aide Dot on our toes! So lets see what has happened since school has started....

*Got most of the big items of the wedding planned photographer, DJ, Florist, Location/Food, Dress for me

*Still need Bridesmaid dresses and accessories, cake, save the dates and all the other details but we   are pretty good on all that to! 

* My school has this great thing our gym teacher does called "Fit to Teach" i believe. Every monday and thursday we can go to the gym and work out! It's great it's convienent and you can do it before you go home and just want to crash!!

*Tonight was my first rehearsal for the Allen Symphony Chorus. There are about 50 members and i've missed singing so much! It's great to be part of a choir again!!!

I think that's it for now! i will post again soon!!!!

Busy August

August has been such a crazy month! My mom came the first week in august and we had a blast!!! It was so nice to spend time with just her.. we never get that! The first day was wedding dress day! we went and looked a few places and ended up falling in love with one from David's bridal and we bought it!!!! I can't believe i have my wedding dress!! The next 2 days were spent in my classroom... 8 hours each day... oh and did i mention there was no air conditioning and it was around 105? yea just a little hot! but we got alot done, she was such a huge help! The last day she was here we just had fun! we went shopping and to lunch and just had girl time! It was so great to be with her. 

After my mom left the next 2 weeks were spent in new teacher training classes, finishing my classroom and back to school activities! I spent alot of time in my room but it was worth it! Meet the teacher was this past week and it went great! I met my students and their parents and i'm so excited for the coming year! School starts on monday and i'm not nervous just anxious! 

Thank you again to my mom for all her hard work in my classroom! I still can't believe i'm about to FINALLY start my first real year of  teaching!!!
