Miscellaneous Monday

1.  I am so happy that it is Christmas time, and I can listen to CHRISTmas music all the time:)  A few of my favorites:
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays- NSync
All I want for Christmas is You- Mariah Carey
This Christmas- Christina Aguilera
These are the Special Times- Christina Aguilera
My Only Wish this Year- Britney Spears
I know a bit teeny bopper, but I LOVE them!

2.  My sister is leaving for New York Wednesday Morning!  I will have a post dedicated to her later in the week telling you all about it.

3.  I watched Eclipse last night!  Fabulous as always..... it makes me want to read the series again.  Maybe over CHRISTmas Break.

4.  I am a die hard BAMA fan!  I mean I literally bleed crimson:) but I am a bit torn about the NC game!  I mean, I am sick of ESPN saying how the SEC is overrated and not as good as they have been in years past.  I would love for Oregon (the team they have been worshipping all season) to lose to an SEC team, but cheering for Auburn is next to impossible!  Atleast I have a few weeks to  decide!  Come on.... it really would show the college football nation that the SEC is a force to be reckoned with because Auburn come VERY close to losing to over half of the other SEC teams they played!

5.  Only 9 days left til CHRISTmas vacation!  Can't wait:)   

Here it is!!!

One of my new favorite shows this year is GLEE. I started watchin it a little late and only saw the last 3 or 4 episodes, so I put the first part of the season on my queue for Netflix. The show is awesome, and I definitely recommend it! This helps to explain why I was so excited about one of Halle's new adventures. (Halle is my neice who is 8) She went to a camp that was similar to Glee or a show choir. They taught them songs and dances that they got to perform on the last day for their friends and family. The camp was for ages 5-18, and they performed in four groups: K and 1st, 2nd and 3rd, 4th and 5th, and 9th-12th. The performances were great, and I have to admit that I wish I did something like that when I was younger. Here are a few pics from "Summer Show-Offs":)

For Real this Time

Ok so I know that I have been MIA for several months now, but I am going to really try this time to be an official blogger!

I am so happy to be out for the summer. I am keeping my neice LK, and we have already had so much fun. Last week, we went to the pool and to the zoo. Who knows what is in store for this week, but I can guarantee that we will be spending some time at the pool! Here are a few pics from last week:)

Stand Up

Summer

So teachers are suppose to have the summer off right? Wrong!! I am taking 5 classes at UAB to finish my masters, so I feel like I have not had a break. I know I must be crazy right. I have good reason because after this summer I will have one class in the fall to finish!!

The summer has not been all work and no play. For Memorial Day, Eli and I went with a few couples to the beach!!




We celebrated Londyn Kate's 1st Bday!!!


All of Carrie's Wedding Festivities!!Lingerie Shower, Bachelorette Party, and Wedding

Needless to say the summer has not been a complete waste.... just very busy!!

Also, I promise that I will update you regularly on the life of the Street family!!

In Due time

So life is extremely hectic right now. Work and school are a little overwhelming, but the end is in sight which makes things a little but easier. I promise I will start posting regularly and keep everyone posted on the life of the Street's. I am still getting use to that and it has been over 6 months. I hope that everyone has a wonderful week, and I will post again again soon and hopefully it will be interesting for my friends and family to read.

Also, one of the special educators that I work closely with is suffering the loss of her husband. She has two children in junior high and high school, so will you guys keep them in your thoughts and prayers during their trying time.

~With love~
