Lately...

I guess I'm not a very good blogger but I've been so busy these past few weeks. As of today, I'm now a certified teacher in the state of Texas and starting tomorrow morning I begin my new job as a 4th grade math & science teacher! I'm thrilled to have been hired by CCISD to begin teaching at the school I student taught at till the end of February. I'm taking the position of one of the 4th grade math and science teacher's until she returns after maternity leave. I am so excited to finally be getting paid for all my hard work and dedication. Now all I have to do now is apply to get a j-o-b in Houston...

Last weekend, Drew and I spent our time in New Braunfels visiting my parents! It was so nice to just relax and for Drew and I to enjoy spending time with my Mom & Dad. I hadn't been up there since Hurricane Ike. On Saturday, my Mom and I shopped in some of the cutest boutiques in downtown New Braunfels. I love shopping with my Mom because she still spoils me :) Drew ended up spending the afternoon with my Dad, which was some great future son-in-law/father-in-law bonding time. We went to Clear Springs for dinner, which is always a favorite, and relaxed. It was so hard to drive back on Sunday.

This coming weekend Drew and I are going back to New Braunfels with my oldest sister Amy, my brother-in-law Danny, my niece Kaitlyn, and nephew Dustin, so that we can join my parents at one of my cousin's weddings! My cousin Donald Patrick Rains(DP) is finally tying the knot! We are so excited to watch him get married at his ranch outside of Austin on Saturday. I'll be sure to take pictures! It should be a really fun wedding and Drew will get to meet more of the family before our big day. I can't wait!
