Wow...it's been a while!

Wow, has it really been since August?!? I told myself that I would do better this school year keeping up with my blog, but I guess I really dropped the ball! It could have something to do with the fact that we have to have the SLOWEST Internet on the face of the earth and it takes forever to upload pictures!

So...since August...man, a lot has changed and a lot is still the same! Tanner is growing like a weed and surprises me everyday with the stuff he is absorbing. He is so precious. More updates on him to come...

Me...well, there is a lot going on in this head of mine. Teaching is not as enjoyable as it used to be. I am more stressed out than I was my first year of teaching. The paperwork is ridiculous and I am having trouble keeping up. Just when I think I get caught, they add something else to our plate. Let's just sum it up by saying its been a tough year and I don't know how much longer I will last... :-( Makes me sad...

Tommy, still loving his job. He recently got chosen for something called AgLead through Farm Bureau. It is composed of 12 participants that focuses on leadership in agricultural producers. It's a great opportunity, although I am not sure of the timing!! It is a 2 year program and over those 2 years he will get to travel to several different places including California, Chicago, Washington D.C., and an international trip. I do have to say I am a little jealous...I do get to go with him to D.C. so I guess it isn't all that bad. I am excited for him.

Last weekend, we went to the Sam Houston State vs. SFA game at Reliant Stadium. They called it the "Battle of the Piney Woods." For those that don't know, SHSU and SFA are rival schools. All of Tommy's immediate family and spouses went to SHSU. Grandmother went to SFA so she was the lone ranger.

It isn't nearly as fun when you don't know the players like I did when I was in school. Not to mention, when you have a 19 month old to entertain. However, it was nice to see the huge crowd of orange to bring back so many memories of my time in college! I miss those times! I will also add that SFA had some of the rudest and most annoying fans that I have ever seen!!

It was a great game, but sadly SHSU didn't pull it off...oh well, maybe next year!

Here is a picture of us...of course, Tanner can't smile when he is supposed to! The little munchkin eating his raisins and supporting the Kats in his cute little shirt. He can say "eat 'em Kats" but refused to do so at the game!

Tanner and his Diney...thanks to her for bringing all of the toys and food to keep him occupied. He did pretty well considering how long we were there!!
