All Better...Almost

Here I am again, it's Saturday around 12, I really should be getting ready soon to leave for a basketball game but I decided to finally sit down and type up a new post. This week has a been a crazy one! I have been sick which is why I didn't write any this week, even though I wanted to. Tuesday all the area had a {no snow} snow day which was a huge blessing to me, it meant that I didn't have to take a day off! On Wednesday our boys basketball team played the #4 ranked school in our state for our division {we're number 10} and to all of our surprise we beat them! And then last night we had another game and I thought it would be close, but no, we crushed that team. It feels good to see the boys getting some wins after some crazy loses, they're starting to get it together as a team. Today we have 2 games, yes that's right TWO. They play the first at home at 2:00 then we drive to Williamsburg to play again tonight at 7:00. I'm hoping that Sean {my brother} will get a lot of playing time during either being that the boys might be tired. But who knows.


On a different but related note, I don't know about you but I LOVE Saturdays, especially lazy Saturdays where I really don't have to go out and do anything so I sleep in. I can just sit on the couch, snuggling with Bailey who is either always in my lap {like he is now} or right beside me. Sometimes Laila joins us too thinking she is a small lap dog, but most of the time she just lays on the other end or in her bed. I might do laundry if I don't forget about it. I usually have my laptop open, checking out blogs or facebook, mostly both. Something is on tv, lately its been Friday Night Lights on Netflix but other times I'm just channel surfing. Whatever I'm doing, I am relaxing. It feels nice to have one day where I'm not rushing around with a million things going on in my head. Now, not all my Saturdays are like this, which I don't mind but I need one every now and then. 

Ugh, I guess its time that I go and get ready. My busy day is calling my name! If you are lucky enough to have a lazy Saturday, enjoy it! I'll get mine on Monday! ;0) {MLK Day}

A Little About My Life

So like the title says this post is going to let you know a little about my life. My name is Hillary and I am a 23 year old wife, teacher, and {puppy} mom to 2 crazy dogs! I went to a small Christian school, graduated valedictorian {just don't ask out of how many} and went off to the "World's Most Exciting University" Liberty University! I loved my 4 years there, made some amazing memories, met some great people, {Josh aka Husband} got my "ring before spring", bought a mini black and tan dachshund, named him Bailey, went to friends weddings, bought a house back home, got a teaching job back at my old school, graduated May 9, 2009 and the following week got married! I had a busy few months but a pretty slow summer, first one like that I've every had!

I started in August teaching 2nd grade and I loved my class! I also assisted my dad coaching girls volleyball then went right into coaching cheerleading. It wasn't always easy, teenage girls are quite a handful, I made mistakes but learned a lot. The school had some financial issues and I was given the challenging task of teaching not only 2nd grade but 1st as well. I'm not going to lie, it was tough, stressful and I really hated it. I did have some fun but I would never want to do that again! I thought my spring would be calm...I was wrong. I helped Josh out with coaching baseball. Let me tell you, boys are worst than girls. I'd rather deal with drama then disrespect any day! We also got a new puppy! A black lab mix we named Laila! Her and Bailey get along so well and its funny to watch the 2 of them play!

I had hands down one of the best summers ever! I went back to Camp Thunderbird and worked with the EveryBuddy group again. The EB group is our special needs group made up of some of the greatest and funniest kids around! I also had the best buddy counselor and other co-workers which helped make it so wonderful! I am now in my 2nd year of teaching 2nd grade...its much easier than the first I will say that! Coaching is going better too, even though basketball season is a lot different this year. This is also my little brother's senior year. He will be going to Longwood University in the fall. As much as we don't always get along, I love him and I am one proud big sister!

And that's where we are now. Josh and I are so blessed to both have jobs {even though we hate it at times}, a house to live in {that is slowly starting to be completely decorated, I do not have that skill!}, 2 crazy pups who we love {most of the times!} and families that love us both very much. Whew....I'm done I promise! I still have plenty left to say to check back soon! :0)

Hello World

So here I am. I have been wanting to start blogging for a while but many reasons stopped me. I'm not that good at writing. What would I even write about? Who would even read it? But then I figured to go for it. I need some place to express myself, creations and pictures. Maybe somethings will be worthwhile for others to look out. So again I say, hello world. I can't promise you that I will be the best blogger, but I want to try. I can't promise that I will always have the most interesting posts, but I'm a random person so maybe there will be enjoyment in my randomness. So hello world...look out for me! :0)
