Chinese jump rope

Have you ever heard of Chinese jump rope? I had never heard of it until today. I was checking my email in the break room at work and they were having an exercise class. They taught the children how to play. It is a rope in a circle that two people hold making it into a sqaure and the person jumps in and out of it. It looked like fun.

God is still in control

This week is going to be CRAZY.

I have parent teacher conferences tonight and tomorrow. Wednesday Kris's grandmother and dad are coming into town for Chanda's wedding. I have class Thurday night and we have friends that have three little girls that are coming in town on Friday. Friday night is the rehearsal dinner, Saturday is the wedding, Sunday is the after the wedding picnic and gift opening. Plus I still need to touch up the paint downstairs, buy a spare bed, and get an outfit for the wedding. We have Monday off. I am going to sleep in and do laundry and that's it!

This weekend we got alot done. I love when we get alot done. I like relaxed weekends also but nothing beats that feeling of getting stuff done. We finished the spare bedroom and office except for hanging up pictures. I took a huge load of stuff to Goodwill. I unpacked all our books that have been in boxes since Chanda moved in with us two years ago (she has moved out but we never unpacked the boxes because we didn't have the office set up).

With all that said Kris and I got prayer at church Sunday. We just needed prayer for the week and some stuff that is going on in the family. It was such a great prayer time. I love to hear when God starts to speak thru people and it is what you were just hearing. God is so great. We talked about how God had given us such faith for what was said and being prayed. I got to see a little glimpse of some of it last night. I even felt different. There is nothing like feeling God.

Going to the zoo

Today was the perfect day for a zoo trip. I took my students to the zoo because we have been talking about animals. It was great but I always go on field trips and then tell Kris that we need to go again because I spend the whole time watching the children and keep track of them that I don't get to enjoy it. Any way it was beautiful in Indy today and I had 8 parent volunteers so it was nice. Field trip days always mean lower numbers. We have a ratio of 1 teacher to every 12 children as long as they are 4 or older, so I was left with 9 children in my room. I love having a smaller amount of children, I can get more in depth in teaching.
Anyway last night we painted our office. I am so excited to move all the stuff back in. Then tomorrow we are painting the guest room and decorating! I love that part, the decorating. Although the office is Kris's to decorate. I told him when we got married that he can have the office and decorate it anyway he wants. He loves to fish and likes eagles, so that's how the office is. I am looking forward to the weekend. I want to finally be totally unpacked (all my books are still in boxes) and have most of the house painted. Kris has a big paintball game on Sunday after church. He is really excited because it is agaisnt a professional paintball team. I'll count his bruises and tell you about it.

My puppy

This is a picture of my puppy Rufus. Kris is rubbing his ears. He loves to have his ears rubbed. He just got back from the doctor today. Last night when we came home he was acting very wierd. He took a really long time to walk down the stairs, he wouldn't catch treats, he walked around everything like it was going to hurt him, and he was shaking. I called the vet right away. They were closing right then but gave me an appointment this morning. So Kris took him this morning and dropped him off. Our aunt Marsha went and picked him up today. I just got off the phone with the doctor and he thinks that he had a seizure and it just took him a while to get his bearings back.

I have offically become one of those people that I have made fun of in the past. I love my dog and almost cried last night at the thought of him being sick or in pain. I made my husband go into work late to take him to the doctor. That's not all. We bought him an orthopedic bed and he has his own 'diaper bag' that we take with us when he goes to grandma and grandpa Fullers (my mom and stepdads). I even have a basket that keeps his toys in it so he can pick which toy he wants to play with. You should never make fun of people because you end up doing the same thing.

I had a dog when I was little, her name was Penny and she was a beagle. I loved her but it is different when the dog lives in your house. When they are around you every moment you get to know them. It's crazy, I know but if you have a dog then you understand and if you don't then you can laugh at me.

Here comes the bride

It's getting close. Kris's sister Chanda is going to get married May 27th. Kris is going to be the minister performing the ceremony. It will be his first wedding that he has performed. It's exciting. They are getting married in Lafayette IN at a local park.
It will make us an aunt and uncle for the first time. Chanda's fiance has a little boy who just turned four. His name is Cameron.
My grandmother emailed us and reminded Kris to tell the people to sit down. When my grandfather did my aunt and uncle's wedding he forgot to tell the people to sit down and they stood for the whole time. Isn't that funny.
