Wedding photos...and what not

Okay, so I am still getting used to this blogspot stuff, so this post is kind of a mess. We haven't posted any wedding pictures, and these are the only ones I have on my account on our computer. I know Daniel has more, but I didn't want to switch users and turn off the Ipod...yeah, it's a whole thing...lol. So, here they are. We went to a really wonderful revival on Monday night *after spending the day with Chris and Andrea-fun and funny as always* and then I spent Tuesday with Mom. But Tuesday night, I started feeling AWFUL...and I have been in bed since then. I have had a terrible head cold. Today I am feeling much better....Praise the Lord. We have a really busy weekend with the youth group-so I had to get better. Tonight we are going to run errands for tomorrow night's scavenger hunt. Chris and Andrea are going to be helping with the scavenger hunt, so they are going shopping with us. Tomorrow we are meeting the kids at the church in the morning to go to an elderly lady's home and do her yard work. I am excited that the kids are getting this kind of opportunity, I always enjoyed doing this kind of stuff when I was their age-it always made me feel so grown up and responsible to help someone who can't help themselves. Anyway, then we have to go home and get ready for our video scavenger hunt at 6. Daniel, Chris, Andrea, and I sat down one night at their house after dinner and made a list of 50 wacky things for the kids to do-Daniel and I will be the drivers, Chris and Andrea the camera people. There will be two teams, and they have to complete as many of the tasks as possible in an hour and a half. Then we are all meeting back at the church to eat pizza and watch these hilarious videos. Then Sunday morning we have a drama performance during church, so we will meet at nine to practice. We will also have drama practice that afternoon because we have to get ready for our drama performance during our church's upcoming revival. Everyone is so excited for that. Other than that, my school is trying to get enough students enrolled to open. I am having trouble *at this point, a month later* believing that will actually open this school year. As such, I am planning to talk to the Board of Education about beginning to sub in the next few weeks. Daniel and I are so anxious to be out on our own, I really need to start making money so we can save up and move!

So, that's what's new with us! I am also getting everything ready for the conference I am taking the girls to in a few months, and we have a Super Bowl party planned for that same weekend. AND, we have several fundraisers in the works for the next couple of months to raise money for the Sonfest trip we are taking the youth group to in Orlando. Busy as usual.
P.S. Dad and Dawn-we will be sending you some wedding pictures soon, we have finally figured out how to do that without going totally broke...LOL. We love and miss you!

Events since August....lol

I cannot believe I started this blogspot account and then didn't update it. Daniel and I are both on myspace.com, so I usually just update that. But since Dad and Dawn don't have that, I need to start updating this all the time so that they can stay in the loop with us. I miss them so much, I wish we could spend more time with them. The picture above is of my fourth graders from Satilla Marsh on my last day of student teaching there. Student teaching was absolutely amazing, I learned so much. I miss those children a lot and my last day was very tearful and full of presents *and cake!* Daniel showed up at the school *as a surprise* and brought me roses and cupcakes for the kids!

These are pictures from my Armstrong graduation on December 9th. That was such a proud day for all of us. There were times I did not think I would make it there, so it was an emotional day for me. We also were not sure that Dad was going to make it to graduation that day because Abby was having seizures again, but he did get to be there and it meant the world to me. *Abby is also doing much better since then...yay, God!* Our friends Chris and Andrea were there too, and we went shopping at one of the malls in Savannah and then had dinner at Carabba's. It was a wonderful day. After this, I did a lot of interviewing for jobs, but could not seem to get my foot in the door anywhere. I tried to trust God and know He had a plan, but it was very difficult to wait and understand what He was doing. Well, a couple of weeks ago, I went on an interview at a new Pre-K that was opening in town, and they called the next day to tell me I got the job! It's a brand new school, so we are still waiting to open. I have been working in my room every time I get the chance, and I am so proud of it-it's a gorgeous room and I cannot wait to get the kids in there and start teaching. Both of my bosses *the directors of the school* are Christians, and they were just as excited as I was when I got the job! :)


Here is a picture of the Castors on Christmas Eve. We all went over to my Aunt Robin's house to celebrate Christmas with my mom's family. It was so wonderful having so many new blessings in my life at Christmas this year. Daniel is absolutely the best guy in the world, and though he and I were surviving on one income at Christmas time, he tried to make it as special as possible.
I have other pictures to share, the drama team has been really busy lately and our great friend Kathryn has taken pictures of everything! It's amazing to see what God is doing with our willingness to work with these teenagers! But, we are having dinner at Chris and Andrea's house tonight, so I have to go get myself ready. Happy New Year to all, and...I promise I will update again soon!
