It's been two weeks...

Since I posted last. I've been working, working, working. I keep stressing myself out but it will be okay. I know it will. It has to be, right? :-) I'm posting this during a break at "Meet the Teacher Night." I have two high school classes, one during first period and one during seventh period (the rest are middle school classes). This MtTN is only for high school. So that means I'm sitting around (actually I'm planning and wanted a break) for an hour and fifteen minutes until my next group of parents comes along. I thought I'd share with you how I've been introducing myself to the kids. A little video about Mrs. Farmer. By the way, I know I'm a nerd and I embrace it!

HELP!!!!!

Photobucket

We need your help!!! Our 5th anniversary is coming up in May and we are going to go on a fabulous trip somewhere... we just don't know where yet. That's why I'd really like your help. I know there aren't a ton of people who read this blog but I do know there are enough to help us find a great vacation spot. If you have a place you've been that you really love please share it with us.

For our honeymoon we went to Cabo. We had several people tell us that they loved their vacations there but we didn't really. We never asked what part of the beach is best, which hotel did you stay at, etc. Needless to say our experience with Cabo wasn't the best so we want to try something different. We (well, just me, really) want to go someplace warm/hot. We plan on going in the first part of June so we need to start looking at places to go. Any help you blog-loving people can offer would be greatly appreciated.

Lake Trip 2009

We're obviously back from the lake... a week ago. I've been crazy busy so I'm just now getting around to posting our pictures and writing about our adventures. Here's what our trip consisted of:

Beating my parents to the lake because they had a ton of tire trouble, not getting in the water for a few days because it was a little chilly, playing in a Wii bowling tournament organized by Uncle Kenneth (I was terrible and am usually a really good Wii bowler), eating a large fluffy homemade biscuit for breakfast every morning that I secretly hoped were frozen so I could eat them at home, hanging out with Holly and TJ for a couple of days and the Lipscombs for the rest of the week, sleeping on the floor with Maybel and Maverick (it wasn't nearly as bad as you might think), the boys taking the pups to the beach, eating yummy food cooked by other people in our group, introducing my family to sopapilla cheesecake, seeing Bevin and Deidre pregnant (even though they did not look it), eating too many peanut butter and Hershey's Kiss cookies, reading Twilight in less than 24 hours, riding in the boat, swimming in the lake, skiing and wake boarding (for some... not me!), laying out at the pool, floating in the lake on floats and most importantly... just relaxing. It was a great vacation.
