Nae’s Heart

Well Homecoming was a huge success… I had a wonderful time helping decorate.  I did my first balloon arch… It took me 2 and 1/2 hours to fill 200 balloons with helium, tie them together, and wrap them around the frame.  My hands hurt from tying all of them and I have a blister but the arch looked wonderful and wowed the teens… Dinner was scrumptious.  I was there to help and ended up serving drinks for most of the evening. James worked the sound booth.  At the moment I don’t have any pictures but I will try to get some from some of the teens.  James and I didn’t get home until midnight.

We are enjoying a relaxing day at home… taking our time getting ready and just enjoying the time together.  We will be going grocery shopping and just getting things done around the house… I hope you all have a relaxing day!

So this week is Spirit Week… Today is Nerd day and I am already enjoying the outfits the kids are coming in… It is only 7:35 and I can tell it is going to be a fun day.  James’ class has a surprise… I will post pictures after it is unveiled.  Tomorrow is Retro Day and you can dress up as any decade… Wednesday is Fake an Injury Day, We are going to have a bunch of toilet paper wrapped kids running around… Thursday is Favorite Career Day… Friday is School Spirit day or Warrior day… I am looking forward to a great week! I didn’t do much today but tomorrow I will be in full participation.

I love rainy days… Especially when it is a day off!  I am spending a very relaxing day with James and my parents.  We started off sleeping in and having a lazy morning with coffee and coffee cake! I have done 2 loads of laundry and we are going to be heading out to a few stores this afternoon.  We have plans for lunch and dinner… I am also going to be helping my mom make some jewelry and I will be finishing a set for my sister!

Hope you all have a great day off!

Well, the new year is here and it brought tiredness and work with it.  I am doing good, just tired from to many late nights on vacation and traveling.  On New Year’s Eve, James, Ruth, Daniel, and I stayed up playing Wii until midnight and then went out onto the porch to watch some of the fireworks across the bay.  We said our Happy New Years… finished our game and went to bed.  Mom and Dad had been up playing games with us but went to bed around 10.  It was a very nice and relaxing vacation.  We didn’t really go places, We did the whole “I am going to the mall, Does anybody else want to come?” We never all went the same place together.  It was much more fun to stay home and enjoy the time together.  We got home on Saturday night and have been going none stop ever since.

I have been back at work for 2 days and I am already getting some extra hours so that is nice.  I am also coaching jr. high girl’s volleyball and the first game of our season is on Thursday.  I am looking forward to it… I am also hoping for a winning season, but I don’t know if I will get that.  Yesterday was James’ 24th birthday.  One of his students brought him a cake and we went out to dinner with my parents, Tim, and Ruth.  TGI Friday’s has good food and after we had stuffed ourselves we got our dessert to go and headed to our house to play some Wii and hang out.  It was a great ending to my vacation.

I am back to being busy.  I have volleyball practice Mon, Tues, Thurs, and Fri from 3:45-5:00.  The extra time is nice for James since it gives him time to work on stuff at school and church.  I am also able to volunteer in the school office and I really enjoy that.

I hope you all had a great vacation.
