I was on facebook the other day, and a friend of mine, Christy, had uploaded her husband's picture and put it in these photos from years ago. So I decided I would do the same. I have laughed so hard at these pictures. The bad part about it is that our kids will do the same thing to themselves when they get older and laugh at our old "do's". The first one is my brother and me, he will kill me when he realizes what I've done

This one isn't too bad, I think this one is from 2000.

Working world, here I come!!

Well, not sure if any of you know, but I got a job. I was hired by Coshocton City Schools for the Pre-school teaching assistant job at Central. I really wasn't wanting to work until Jackson was in school fulltime, but Eric has not found a job, so I had to find work. I am lucky enough that Beth Buker has taken Jackson. She is a wonderful person and I have heard nothing but good about her. She also goes to my church and it is such a blessing to know that a Christian is going to be with my son. That was very important to me. I have never left him with anyone but my in-laws, my parents or close friends. I took him today for the first time and he did fine. I think it was harder on me than him. I left him for about 2 hours. I met with the other teacher that will be in the room with me. She is awesome!! I think we will get along great. This is her first year at Coshocton. She has taught other places and she is glad to be able to not have to drive anywhere. I will only be working M-Th, which will be nice to have a three day weekend. We don't have any kids on Fridays. We will have 20!! three and four year olds!!..what have I gotten myself into? I have to keep telling myself that it will be good for Jackson to be with other kids, as much as it is killing me. I told Carrie to not worry if I was a little weepy the first week. I am very glad to be going to Central to work. The people are really great there and I will be excited to be a part of it. Wish me luck!!!

I was watering the other day and it was getting into the afternoon, so I was watering close to the roots so my flowers wouldn't burn. Out came a little snake. If you look closely towards my mum, you can see his head sticking out of the hole he climbed down. I'm not afraid of snakes, but it freaked me out a bit not knowing it was there.

Here are a couple of pics of the pets we have up in the back yard. A mama with her twin babies.
