SNOWDAY!!!!

On Feb. 11 we all went to bed thinking that Dr. Don and his crew on Eagle 102.3 were over exaggerating about all this snow we are suppose to receive. It seems that everytime our small town hears the word "snow", things get crazy!! All the bread and milk wal-mart and Piggly Wiggly has in stock is bought and the whole town is shut down... EXCEPT the Bank of Wedowee!!!! We sat at the bank all day anticipating that phone call saying we should get home before the roads get bad. Of course, we just wanted to join our families in all the fun =) FINALLY we received the call that we could leave at 3:00! WOO HOO!!! I had threatened my mom, who was keeping Riley for me, that she BETTER not take him out until I get home! If it meant he didn't go out at all, his mommy was GOING to be home when he played in the snow for the first time!!! Neil got to leave work early, too, so we got to enjoy this afternoon together! =) Here are a few pictures of Riley's first big snow!! =)

I think he liked it =)

Our Little Family!!
Me, Jax, Riley, and Neil

I am so thankful for this day and for the family I was able to share it with! We are so blessed! =)

One Step Closer

Oh, how I have dreaded this day!!!! The day that I would receive those awful scores from the Praxis. I took the test on January 9th and walked out of that building with little to NO confidence of coming anywhere close to passing that test!!!
This morning, I was sitting at Knight Enloe Elementary observing when I received a text message from my fellow classmates... "CHECK YOUR SCORES!!! THEY ARE UP!!!" Of course I was no where near my computer so I had to wait til' I got home! =( All my friends had already told me that they had passed and I just KNEW I would be the only one who didn't pass.... I got home, opened the scores, with eyes closed!!!! Of course I had to scroll through two pages before I could see that word I had been dying to see.... PASSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Before this day, graduation seemed so far away. Almost as if it would never approach me! YAY ME!!! =) I feel like I should throw a huge party in celebration!! My mother-in-law is so firm in my finishing school and becoming a successful person that she says she has been planning my graduation party since the day I was accepted into the college. =) Isn't she great? KEEP PLANNING MRS. PAM!!! In one year I will walk across that stage!!! =)
