Tearing Down the Walls

Today, we are doing an event at my school called "Tearing Down the Walls".  It is designed to break racial and cultural barriers.  It is designed to bring awareness to bullying.  It is designed to help tear down the walls that separate people.

So we have activities planned all day.  The Leadership (student council) kids and the Multicultural Club leaders planned it all.  I am going to be in there as one of the "adults in charge".  However, I really haven't done anything for it.  It is kid-planned and kid-led! 

I'm excited to see what happens!

Emotional Easter

WARNING: This post is going to be REALLY long. Don't say you weren't warned! This is the post I have tried to convince myself not to write so that no one's feelings get hurt. However, my feelings got hurt, and so I have a right to write about it! :) Right? I'm not trying to hurt anyone with this, I'm just trying to sort things out in my brain. Writing is my best outlet for that. Anyways, I should preface this by saying that I come from a family that travels in herds/gaggles/armies/groups/whatever you call the large group of people you go out to eat with or hang out with most of the time. This weekend, we had some people come into town. We were invited Friday night to go out to eat with them at 7pm at a restaurant that is infamous for making you wait at least an hour around 7pm. There were going to be 8 adults and 5 kids.....13 total (I think!)! (That's about the normal size for the "army" we travel with here.) The other 10 people arrived around

Saving Money

Tony and I have always WANTED to save money. However, when we got married, we didn't start right away. Then two years later, Chasity was born. Then it was almost IMPOSSIBLE! Now, we've been married for 9 years, and we have VERY LITTLE actually saved. It seems like every time we get a little saved, something has to be fixed.... usually the car! lol It does need work now, but we're waiting.... but I don't think we can wait long. We know that when I actually get a teaching job, we'll be able to save about 1/3 (maybe more) of my paycheck every month....since we've been living for almost 4 years on just Tony's check anyways. However, I have decided that I want to start saving now! So.... here's my plan. It's really really hard....just kidding! The only thing I need to know is this.....Does Wal-Mart still match prices? If not, my plan is doomed! If so, I'm good to go! I have gone through all the sales papers for this week. I have circled thi

New Year's Survey

I originally saw this on my friend Phyllis's blog. She originally saw it on our friend Susie's blog. I thought I should actually try it. It looked like fun! :) 1. What did you do in 2009 that you'd never done before? I let Chasity stay with someone other than a family member. 2. Did you keep your New Year's Resolutions and will you make more for 2010? The one I am MOST disappointed that I did not keep was to read the Bible all the way through. However, I have a plan to do that THIS year (2010)!!! I DID however lose weight. That's something I say I'm going to do every year. BUT... in 2009, I lost a little over 60 lbs. I have managed to keep MOST of it off too! So, I will continue to lose weight in 2010. Somehow, I plan to hit that 100 lbs. lost mark! 3. Did anyone close to you give birth? Yes....Tony's neice, Amber, had Lenna-Grace. 4. Did anyone close to you die? Yes...my Aunt JoAnn died in July. Just before Christmas, a close family friend passe
