A few other people have written some random thoughts this week...so I'm following the trend.
I have an obsession with frogs. I also have most of them hidden for my children later in life.
I LOVE swimming. I could stay in a pool all day long and never get tired of it...I would get tired of sun burn though.
I love to paint. I just painted our dining room a beautiful "marina" blue that matches my table cloth and my china.
I think puppies are so adorable, and if ours wasn't so darn expensive we would get another. However, she must be groomed every month and she always has ear infections or bladder infections...so she racks up the vet bill very well every month.
My mother in law is the BEST at taking lots of pictures. She always has that camera, and immediately goes to a photo printing place and makes a set for everyone that was there. It's GREAT! Brandon hates pictures, so he is not fond of it, but I sure do enjoy it.
This summer I can count on my hands how many times I have applied make up. My cheeks get all rosy in the summer time and I just love going make-up-less. Plus once August gets here and I have to work again, it'll be back to putting a little on each morning.
I aspire to be a stay at home mommy :)

Back from the honeymoon :)
I'll breifly recap since my last post...
January- found the perfect house
April- moved into perfect house
May- had lots of people over and lots of wedding showers
June- our house is still perfect, with lots more decorations and two married people living in it! Got married, went on a honeymoon, now we wait until school starts again (not that we are really looking forward to that)!
We were so blessed to have the most perfect wedding day ever. It was supposed to storm - I didn't notice a cloud in the sky all day. I had been so nervous the weeks leading up to it about certain things. On the day of our wedding, NOTHING bothered me. I wasn't nervous, I was just excited to be Mrs. Davis :) I know God took care of all my worries and made everything perfect and wonderful.
Some people thought what we did after the reception was kind of wierd. We went to our hotel room for a while, and then we joined my family by the pool. Generations that never get to be together! How could I miss that? Really? So Brandon and I sat by the pool (and Brandon in it half the time) visiting with the family I never spend enough time with. It was wonderful, and my mom even brought out the left over food from the reception for everyone to snack on. Gosh we had some wonderful food there, and I was STARVING. We went to Brandon's parents room and visited them, and then we decided we were still hungry and went across the street to McDonald's for a cheeseburger.
The next day was father's day. How could I not see my dad on father's day when we were in the same city? Really? That never happens. I couldn't tell you the last father's day I saw my dad...oh wait, probably the summer before my senior year in high school. So, we told both of our families (thankfully my siblings were still in town and one of Brandon's) that we wanted to all go to ihop for father's day breakfast before everyone headed to the airport. Fantastic! There were 29 people for breakfast on father's day at ihop sitting in our little area. I got to visit with everyone (even my soon to be 104 great grandmother) a little more! It was a great way to spend the morning after our wedding.
We went home, did some laundry, packed up and on Monday morning SUPER early headed to Jacksonville, FL to leave for our honeymoon...which by the way was also perfect, but that's for another day.

Back to school!
Praise the Lord- we returned to work today! My students were all fairly well behaved after our fabulous four day weekend. I was getting a little bored in this wonderful clean house. Brandon and I even reorganized some cabinets so we could put away our new cookie sheets, pizza pans, and cutting boards that we got for Christmas.
Please say a prayer for us. We would really like to be able to buy a house before our wedding and we are going to see three houses on Saturday. We have already both been approved, now we just have to search for a house that suits us both.
Alright, off to bed...I'm exhausted!

amazing under 400 calorie dinner
stuffed shells
1lb ground venison sausage
1/2 onion
1/2 cup chopped mushrooms
1 green pepper
italian seasonings as you like
jumbo shells (i only use 18 to fill a casserole dish and the box comes with 36
1 jar of your favorite spaghetti sauce
instructions:
boil shells for the time indicated on the box
brown meat and mix in vegetables (only use what you like i have done it with no veggies and it's just as good.
add seasonings to meat (again not necessary)
when shells are done boiling place them in a bowl with cold water. you will not want them to stick.
fill shells with meat mixture and place in casserole dish
pour spaghetti sauce on top, place in oven and bake 25 minutes at 375.
i made this up using the things brandon and i love. brandon likes mozarella cheese in the meat mixture before i stuff the shells but that's not part of the healthy version.
366 calories in 3 jumbo shells the way i make them. i can never eat more than that.
Snow Day!
Even though we have less than an inch of snow, there is enough ice and slush on the roads to make them too dangerous to drive. So- No work for me :) Honestly if we stay home tomorrow I won't know what to do in this mostly clean house. The dishes are washed, carpets vacuumed, and clothes washed and put away.
In other news- Brandon and I did great with losing weight this week. I really did not think Brandon would do this challenge with me, but since we're competing now I guess that makes it exciting! I lost 3.7 lbs. and Brandon lost 3.6 lbs. I have been watching what I eat and found these great lean cuisine in a bag to take for lunch...the only problem is that they are in a bag. However, they are really delicious compared to boxed healthy choice. The best was asiago cheese tortelini with a creamy tomatoe sauce.
I got the wii fit for Christmas so Brandon and I both set our own goals. Brandon's doctor suggested that he give up caffeine because it effects him more than other people...so by simply cutting out coke products Brandon managed to lose 3.6lbs this week...it really stinks how much easier it is for men to lose weight...
When all this snow clears up I plan to exercise every day for the rest of this week. I've got some nice new warm gloves, socks, jackets, and ear muffs...I'll be fine in the cold!

Week 1
The holiday season has come and gone...thank goodness! I love the holidays, but this season has been particularly busy and I had the flu for the first four days.
Monday we had a teacher work day, in which we accomplished planning a big project and the rest of this week. Nothing healthy was eaten. Brandon and I had not yet gone grocery shopping. We went that night though.
Tuesday I started eating healthy. Tuesday school started back. I had the worst headache ever. I took three advil migraines when I got home. I woke up two hours later, cooked teryaki chicken, wild grain rice and broccoli.
Wednesday I still had a headache from the minute I woke up. I made it through the school day and went straight to the chiropractor. Even though we ate at Red Lobster, I still managed to eat healthy.
Today- My headache is GONE! Praise the Lord!!! I had a GREAT day at work and now I'm about the go to the softball banquet.
I have not fit in exercise time just yet, but it's coming. Tomorrow I'm going to walk with my maid of honor (MOH) after school. Then I'm going to do the Wii fit.
Saturday I'm going to SLEEP IN!!!! For the first time in several weeks. I did not get to sleep in one day over Christmas break.

Freezing Feet
At first I was going to title it "cold feet" and then I thought- no that's when you're afraid to get married...NOT a good title for this since I'm literally talking about FEET!
I have always thought that carpet in a bathroom was just wrong. You should have tile floors and at least one floor mat in case you drip out of the shower. However, after being dressed in my flannel pj's and needing to use the potty, I have decided carpet in the winter would be nice...The tile was SO cold! I didn't realize how cold I was until I stepped on it.
Lucky for me I have a pair of snoozies, http://www.sleepyheads.com/Browse_by_Brand/Snoozies_Footies/Snoozies_Womens_Footies_and_Socks
I found them several weeks ago while shopping at the Hane's outlet. I think they were only about $5. Mine are pink and they have sheep on them. They are SO warm...I have even gone to bed with them on before. However, just like socks, they are not on my feet when I wake up. To bad!
