Grown Up Emily

I am a Lutheran school teacher who is (quickly) learning what it is like to be an adult. My husband (also a Lutheran school teacher), Caleb, and I have recently purchased a new home and are taking each day as the Lord gives it to us. This is a sporadic tale of our journey of faith, love, and pullin up our britches when times get tough! We love to see what God has in store for us.

New look!

I decided to change things up on my blog page because I had not been writing in the way that I had hoped when I originally began blogging. :(

It is not that big of a deal but it is still bothering me that I am not updating like I want.  So, hence all the newness on my page now.

Happy April everyone!  I pray you all had a blessed Easter with much food, family, and good songs to sing at church!  Our Spring Break corresponded with Holy Week last week so we spent a majority of our time in GA with my Momma and sister, Hannah.  It was a super duper week of sleeping in, being lazy, and enjoying the lovely weather.  I SHOULD have gotten more sun but oh well.  I at least went to a golf course...and got the opposite score that Caleb had! Too bad I didn't take more pictures. :(

I can not believe April is here...and I apologize for how cliche that is to say but it is quite true.  This year is flying by already and I feel like it was January only a few weeks ago!  We have under 40 days of school left (or maybe exactly 40?)!  I am about ready to pull my (awesome) hair out though with our school musical.  It just stinks that 2 out of our 4 elementary teachers are STILL not back :( and so I have been doing a ton of the prep with the kids.  I am just worn out by this week back because of that and losing a day on Monday.

Okay, teacher rant is over. In other not surprising news, I still want a baby.  The baby fever is really hitting hard now that I know a billion people having babies in the next 4-5 months.  I know why we are waiting and I understand it, but that does not make it easier when I want one! :(  Caleb is much more comfortable now with the impending future(doom??) of babies in our home and so talking about it with him helps me calm down also.  I just want to have a little one that shares my crazy, poofy, curly hair!  I also understand, the more I think about it, that (as my dear friend, Liz, has said) children are meant for marriage.  That is one of the main reasons I got married....so that I could bear children, raise them, and teach them about Jesus!

Alright, I don't have anything to say that hasn't 1) already been said or 2) been said way too many times already in previous posts.

Chao!
