Road Kill, Family,and Cows

Well kids (oh...roo!) you may have thought I was having one of my blogging looser moments, well i am back! Since you last tuned in not much has happened. We barely got the classroom together in time, though there is still little projects that need to be finished. Dear Mr. Parks is enjoying his little "po-dunckers" as I like to call them. He is rocking the 3rd grade, though he is exhausted more than can be imagined 98% of the time. Living the glamorous life of a 1st year teacher. We try to see eachother as much as possible, but that has turned out to about once a week (not enough to fill my necessary brandon quota.) I have offectionaly deamed saratoga springs "road kill city" due to the un-imaginable amounts of road kill i see on the road driving out to his place. Honestly, CRAZY!
We have also had a couple fun family reunions and get togethers since i last posted. It has been a blast to get to know Brandon's family better and grow closer to my own. Labor day weekend was my family reunion and I gained a better apreciation for how much my family means to me. My cousins and I have never been super close (you know as in, lets hang out on the weekends and get together), but I realized how much they influence me. I am blessed with an amazing family who are amazing examples to me. I honestly love them! I continue to be amazed by the incredible people that The Lord has blessed me with. Tonight we went to Brandon's parents house for his birthday. I haven't seen his family since Brandon got his job and it was crazy to realize how much I missed them. AH! I think i am the most blessed one. sorry, I win!


In other news the "cows" part of the title refers to a letter wrote me where he refered to "being domestic" to "being a cow." Well this past little while I attempted to be a cow. I decided that i would sew a quilt for brandon. P.S. That was a HUGE undertaking. much bigger than i expected. So after 3 hours picking out fabric and many trips returning and buying more fabric i was on my way. It was so far from perfect, but it turned out ok. Thanks for everyone who helped and listened to be vent about the possible burning of the massive thing! P.s. I am not a very good cow!
