I have been trying to keep up with coupons, but it can be super time consuming. While on the south beach diet most things we needed to be buying and be eating were not coupon worthy, so I got a bit behind. I spent a Sunday afternoon/evening a few weeks back getting cleaned out, searching and cutting up several booklets.
I am now back on track and trying to get back to saving. I have found the time to be worth it most of the time. Any luck with couponing?

For those that have a cat you know the insane sound they make when they spot a bug. One afternoon she found a target and had us laughing. She wanted that moth, but he was a smart one and never moved before she got bored.
Lily’s target or you could say toy…haha
It’s like she was saying “what?”
Happy Monday!!

I was looking through our camera today and thought I haven’t blogged in forever and I have so many random pictures! I began to think…WHERE DO I BEGIN? I am just going to start at the first bunch of pictures and go from there.
Sadie and my families dog, Bootsie met for the first time in August! Sadie is not a dog who does well with other dogs but she survived and there was never any blood.
I got to visit with my Granddaddy and Grandmommy while in Tampa! It was a great visit and makes me wish I could get to Tampa more often. 
Fantasy Football began but Lily was less than thrilled. She sat on Adam’s fantasy football magazine. He just informed me as I was typing this that his team is going down hill! Maybe next year hunny :)
Willie turned 1 and we were not able to go to his party, so we made a home visit! Uncle Adam enjoyed reading his new books with him. I can’t believe he is a year old.
This little gator guy turned 1 also! I get to teach with his mom, Heather everyday. I have enjoyed watching her two little ones grow up. We couldn’t miss his Tennessee gator football party. We also enjoyed seeing their house decked out in orange and blue since his Dad is a die hard Georgia fan.
Gator football began! Adam and the farm crew made the HAY GATOR.
AB’s the GATORS #1 cheerleader!
HAY GATOR!
I know these are random moments in our life, but they have kept us busy. I hope you all have a wonderful week!

I have been wanting a new “teacher” bag for sometime. My old Vera Bradley just wasn’t cutting it anymore. I wanted a bag with some form so it would hold all my books and computer in place. Well a a week or so ago my principal hosted a 31 purse party and I fell in love. I am in love with my new tote!!
THE OLD
It’s color has dulled and it isn’t spring anymore!
It has fraying on the handles from much use over the years!
It has two outside pockets perfect for my phone and sunglasses!! There is also a clip inside for my keys. No more searching!
Hope you all are having a great week!

It has been over a month since I have sat down and read my bible. That is difficult to say here, but I want to be honest (ahem ahem…I did ask you all to keep me in check). I have let MY plans and MY agenda become so great that I have left God out of them. It make my skin crawl just thinking about it. Even though I was not sitting with God and reading his word daily He got His message to me through sermons at church.
Message #1:
A few weeks ago my Bigmama passed away after being sick for several years. While at home I was able to spend time with my family and attend Sunday mass at the church I was raised in. The priests homily was on HUMILITY! Let’s just say it was exactly what my mom and I needed after begin around family all weekend and me just starting back to school with varying personalities. It is difficult to be humble, but he made a strong point that day. It takes a lot of humility to really love! It is hard to love everyone, but if you truly put yourself low to the ground and be humble it would be easy. I feel so much dislike and dare I say hatred in our lives comes from a feeling of entitlement. If we were to put ourselves on the lowly ground where we believed we deserved nothing we would never be unloving. I have had a hard time with this because I have sadly cut God out of my agenda. I know if I seek Him and His help I can be a more humble person and be able to love more.
Message #2
Our (Adam and I’s) church is at this time without a permanent preacher. Beginning this Sunday we will have an interim preacher until January when a permanent assignment will take place…we hope! It has been interesting to say the least. Since we have no preacher we have had lay speakers step forward and preach on Sunday. A few weeks ago Mrs. Foy, a women I had never even noticed before was up in front of the congregation sharing her personal testimony. Though her testimony I felt convicted yet again for living MY agenda. The scripture was John 15:1-8 which was about pruning your fruit trees so that they bare fruit. Mrs. Foy shared at one point in her life God was cutting away the obstacles that prevented her from following His agenda. Do you not love that? I felt like God was pruning me right then and there! I want to live God’s agenda, and bare fruit for him!
So in all I have been in prayer for God to help me in the many places I am in dire need of help! I hope diving back into His word will help me see and want Christ in all that I do.
I want to live my life for Him and bare fruit!
I am just busy with this blog and these sweet faces!!
I have got 11 feisty boys and 7 girlie girls! It has been an adventure these last two weeks, but I have had the best time figuring them out and discovering what types of learners they are. I hope to get into a routine and start back blogging because I miss reading your blogs and writing them regularly!
