This is the rose that I got on Valentine's day...this picture was taken just a few days go, no kidding. I have never known roses to last this long but it's been wonderful. Not a petal has fallen still to this day but the last couple of days haven't been great, it's finally getting brown. It's been so fun to see how long it would last.
I love my students. I don't love them all equally though and I will be honest about that. This boy is one of my favorites. We are writing narratives right now about if we had a super power. This boy's power is superhuman strength and when I read this line (although it doesn't fit in very well with the rest of his paper) I just loved him even more. I don't know if he meant to say this but he did and it was brilliant. I want this power too.
Last weekend I took the quickest trip to Vegas to visit my friend Chanell who just had a baby four weeks ago. I talked my mom and sister into driving down with me and we got to see my aunts and grandma. On the way my mom and I were just chatting it up when I looked down and realized I was totally out of gas. I guess Stephen usually fills up when we're on road trips because it didn't even cross my mind when we stopped to eat. We were in the desert past Mesquite when I realized I had "0 miles" left. We coasted into the last chance truck stop just 20 miles outside Vegas. Close one.The trip was quick but totally worth getting to hang out with this little guy all day on Saturday! I loved him. I got a picture with Chanell as well but neither of us looked great in it so this will have to do.
I made this quilt for her and it turned out alright. I didn't love the quilting but the pattern (from this website) was super cute. Mostly Braxton made it cute.
This isn't a very good quality picture but we got to play with our cutest little cousins and while we were there they got a new pet bunny who by the end of the day was called Patrick because it was St. Patrick's day. We had some discussion about how to find out if it was a boy or girl but Uncle Kyle just ruled that it was a boy since he has all daughters and is the only male in the house.
Mallery, the one in pink above, was super excited to tell Stephen over the phone about the bunny so she took this picture on my phone to text to him, it was cute and she was so proud of her photography.
Last but not least for this week, it was Stephen's birthday! I had parent-teacher conferences until late so we tried to celebrate over breakfast. Stephen insisted on cooking and I felt like a bad wife but it was kind of nice. He made his dream breakfast for that day which was country potatoes with bacon and eggs, white toast, and cinnamon rolls.
Stephen got a gift that took him one step closer to becoming a "real man", he claims he needs a gun before he can really be a real man but some power tools were a step in the right direction. Happy birthday to the greatest husband!
