question???: How do you get Cat's Corner into the design header part?! I don't want it to look like that.. if you have any blog tips.. pass them along.. PLEASEEE

Summer is almost...... over.... awwww!!!

The countdown is on.... I start school in exactly 14 days!!! I totally can't believe the summer is almost over! It has been a good summer! I am so thankful for days that aren't busy and for days that I haven't had a schedule. Praise the Lord. I am reading a book called "One Thousand Gifts" and the author is talking about living in the moment and not wishing for more time, but being thankful in everything... I love this little section in the book....

"I speak it to God: I don't really want more time; I just want enough time. Time to breathe deep and time to see real and time to laugh long, time to give You glory and rest deep and sing joy and just enough time in a day not to feel hounded, pressed, driven, or wild to get it all done -- yesterday ....... and it later states...I just want time to do my one life well."

I loovvee that! I want to live in the moment and live in the present. I want to be content with who God has created me to be, where God has placed me, and what He has called me to do. Lord, that is my prayer... Help me to be completely thankful in ALL things!

Have a great week!

love,

cat

Hey again!!!

I do have to admit.... I am not that good at blogging! But I am trying!!! I would love to update you on a few things in my life! This past Thursday, Blake and I went home to celebrate my sister Christin's birthday! It was super fun!! My brother-in-law (Jason) went big this year! He rented a stretttcchhh excursion limo and they invited some friends and we went to get dessert and ride around for a few hours! Caroline also came in town and we all surprised her! She didn't know we were coming! Super fun... oh and many of you prob know I LOVE SURPRISES! (so.. this was totally up my alley)

A few things that I LOVE lately:

-the WEATHER!!!!!!! yay!!! Praise the Lord for the beautiful sunny weather and the beautiful earth that he has allowed us to live on! What a blessing! Today I took a blanket outside and read and laid there for awhile.. glorious!!

-Remington curling wand!!! I bought this last week and I might be a little obsessed!! My hair barely ever holds curl and this baby curls my hair! whoo--hoo! I have always wanted curly hair, so this is super fun to use! (a kid at school on Thursday said that I looked like a grown-up or a grown woman.. and then another student said.. she is a grown-up!!! Another kid said that I looked like I was going to a beauty pageant!! LOL

-RIBBON WREATH!! I made one for Christin for her birthday and I think many more are in the near future!! I will post pics once I get one.. I forgot to take a pic with my camera of the final thing! (I am trying to be crafty lately... not sure how it is going, but I do enjoy making things)... I also made my homeroom boys @ school little fluffy loveies for good luck on TCAPS!! haha.. I thought they might think they are lame-o, but surprisingly they actually liked them! YAY!

- THE LAST THING THAT I LOVE.... is that SUMMER IS SOOOO sooonn!! whoo-hooo!!! I might be counting down the days..... haha

I want some new hobbies and new crafty things to try.. if you have any great ideas.. PLEASEE let me know! I am also looking for new things to do and try this summer.... I would love some great ideas!!

My Middle School Track Team!!!

Well.. here is a little glimpse into my life right now! This is our middle school track team! We are having practices 4 days a week and our first track meet is the week after spring break!!! I am looking forward to my girls and guys competing in the first track meet. It has been a good experience so far and sometimes I jog and stretch with the kids a little. I can def. say that I am out of shape. I hope you enjoy this picture! Go Golden Bears!

Sorry I haven't written in a looonnggg time! I am trying to get my blog looking better and cuter! I sorta have a small obsession lately with looking at people's blogs and then that takes me to another blog and then to another blog. I love it!

Christin and Jason and the kids are on their way here to spend the night. Christin and Jason are going to the UT vs. KY game tomorrow. Jason bleeds blue. haha.. I am off to try to make some "blondies" (brownie type dessert bars). I will tell ya how it goes and put the recipe up if it is a success! Have a great weekend.

Ohhh.. and p.s. I only have 5 DAYS until spring break! One of the reasons I heart being a teacher!!!

love,
