Brandy & Casey Turner
My best friend Brandy got married this past weekend! Her new husband, Casey, joined the Air Force this spring and they decided to get married on the same day as his Basic Training Graduation. They married on September 18, 2009 at 4:30 in the afternoon. Their wedding was at Marriage Island on the San Antonio River Walk. This was my first wedding to shoot, but I had a lot of fun and I cannot wait until my second wedding! Congratulations to Brandy and Casey! I love you both!

Labor Day Weekend
Greg and I had a busy but awesome Labor Day weekend! We had so much fun with our friends and family!
On Saturday we "tailgated" at the pool with Tiffany, BR, and Ashley! Then we went to the A&M football game with Granny and Granddad. We beat New Mexico 41 - 6!!! What a start to our season! After the game we celebrated our win (and OU's loss!) at Tiffany's and then Hurricane Harry's. I hope we never grow too old to dance!
Ziegfest was on Sunday out at Lake Bryan! You can see all of our friends that were there in the pictures below. Can you say hot hot hot? Gates opened at 12:30, but we didn't show up until around 2:30. Thank goodness because we didn't leave until after 11 that night! I think I drank over ten bottles of water that day. And if you were wondering, my favorite artists of the day were Kevin Fowler, The Eli Young Band, and Clint Black! Amazing!
Then on Monday we celebrated Labor Day at Minute Maid Park and watched the Astros beat the Phillies! My dad won four Club Level tickets in a drawing at his work and gave them to Greg and I, so we asked our friends Leslie and Joe to come along. The four of us enjoyed the game and the waiters who brought us our food and drinks! Go 'Stros!
I can't tell you enough how much I enjoy weekends like this! As much as I miss our kittens, our bed, and our home; I love making memories with the people I love! And I'm so glad I get to share all of this with Greg, my husband!!!

Tateym Kayte
One of my best friends and her husband had a beautiful baby girl on August 20, 2009! Tateym Kayte weighed 8 pounds 6 ounces and was 20 1/4 inches long. She is so precious and I am so happy for their new family! Congratulations Kristy and Justin! I love you guys!
Also, don't Greg and I look wonderful with a baby in the picture?!

My Classroom
As many of you know, I am the health teacher at Youens Elementary School in Alief ISD. I teach kindergarten through 5th grade. I love every single one of my students...all 1,000+! They come from rough backgrounds and truly need to be taught how to take care of themselves so they can live healthy and happy lives. Although teaching skills they need to care for themselves is important, my biggest job is to love them, make them feel safe, and let them know they can be something great!
Since I am a bright and bubbly person, it would only be fitting that my classroom match my personality! There are no desks because we do 15 minutes of exercise every time students come to health (class is 50 minutes long). Plus, we play lots of review games! If you look closely you can see supply totes and clipboards that my students work with when we do individual work. Below are pictures of my classroom!

No Nests Here!
"Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me." John 14:1
Do you ever have thoughts that won't leave you alone? Something upsets you and instead of putting the thought aside, it haunts you.
I am an emotional person and in many cases this happens to me. I become so upset over something I should overlook. I say things that I will eventually regret. Then I get mad at myself for getting worked up in the first place. I heard something this weekend that really helped me put things into perspective.
"You can't keep the birds from flying over, but you can keep them from making a nest in your hair."
I can't keep myself from having negative thoughts, but I can keep myself from dwelling on them. If I trust in God, then there is no need to let my heart be troubled. So the next time something bothers me, I'm going to think of this quote and let the birds fly right on by!
