JAMAICA, MON!

So the big reveal of our Christmas trip came this morning...we are going to JAMAICA! We are sooo excited. My in-laws made us a large bag full of goodies...sunscreen, flip flops, lip balm, a 6 pack of Red Stripe Beer (it's Jamaican), pictures of the resort, and a beach bag! WE CAN'T WAIT! I've been on the resort website several times, checking everything out. If you would like to have a look it's http://www.secretsresorts.com/stjames/index.asp

Pretty soon we'll be Jamaica bound...see ya on the flip side (with pictures posted)!

Hope you had a Merry Christmas with your family! Remember the reason for the season, the birth of Baby Jesus! Hallelujah! What a glorious occasion!

Feeling truly blessed,
Carrie

Boy or Girl?

So, this is a picture of me and my baby sister...who we call, Katie-Baby! We always would sleep together on Christmas Eve and wear matching PJ's. On Christmas morning, we would hold hands and all three of us (Courtney too, my older sister, not pictured) would walk down the stairs together to see what Santa brought us...such wonderful memories! So two years ago, we bought the same pj's and we wore them, and did the same thing we did as little girls. We even got upset we couldn't sleep together because Hunter was in the way...haha! Mom was laughing and took a picture of us and told us we were dorks.

I'm really missing my baby sister this year! Come sleep with me and wear matching pj's with me, Katie!!!!!! Too bad she lives in Florida and I won't be seeing her this year...but we still have our memories! Maybe we can still buy matching Pj's and wear them...ha! We are dorks, but I love my little sissy!

Anyway, back to my title, Boy or Girl. My baby sister is having a baby and she finds out the sex on December 22nd...I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She better let me know ASAP! I'm kinda thinking she might have a boy....but we'll find out for sure in just a few short weeks. I'll keep you posted!

I'm so excited for the Holidays...3 more days of school, then 2 weeks off! Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Teaching Rocks!

Wishing I was still a kid,

Deer Widow

It's that time of year that every wife hates...that is, those wives who have husbands who hunt!!!

HUNTING SEASON IS HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So this little woman spends most weekends alone! I don't think I'd mind at all if my family lived in this town; however, they don't! So me, myself, and I have to find things to do...usually I rent girly Redbox movies to keep me entertained! I also Christmas shop, I clean the house and do laundry, and I spend countless hours on the phone with my sister, Katie, who keeps me company even though she's 1000 miles away! I do not like being alone, however, I am getting used to it! Maybe someday I'll have a daughter who will stay at home with me...but knowing me I'll get a son and he'll go hunting too....only time will tell (God's time, that is)! So for now, I'll just have to get used to spending the weekends alone...is hunting season over yet??? haha j/k.

This is what I get to look forward to hearing about on Sunday evenings:














Or a little bit of this:

















Oh the joys of marrying a redneck!!!! Can't wait for this season to be over, but shhhhhhhh, don't tell my husband. He gets sad, I get glad!!!! Who wants to stand in the cold and kill things anyway????? NOT ME!

Destination Unknown

It's December!!!!! Yay!!! I love Christmas time! I had my house decorated as soon as Thanksgiving was over. I really enjoy sitting in my living room at night, watching tv, with the Christmas tree lights on! My wonderful husband decorated the outside with lights, too! It looks great! Now if I could just go shopping and buy some presents, i'd feel better! I think I'll do that this weekend!

Anyway, about the title of my post...my Christmas present from my in-laws is so exciting, this year! We are going on a trip with them and Taylor, Hunter's brother, and the destination is unknown, as of right now. My in-laws are the only people that know where we are going, and they wanted it to be a surprise for us, since it is our Christmas gift. All I know is that it is a warm climate, somewhere I've never been before, and it will be all-inclusive! I CAN'T WAIT!!

Hunter and I have been trying to guess...we know it's not Mexico because there has been some shady stuff going on there, lately, and my mother-in-law was nervous about going there. We've been to the Bahamas, so it's not there....Hawaii is too far and since we're only going for 4 days, that wouldn't be possible. My in-laws have been to St. Thomas and St. John, and they said it's a place none of us have ever been....so I'm trying to decide....any ideas??? My guesses right now are...Aruba, Jamaica (which I doubt), St. Lucia, Antigua, Bermuda,Turks & Cacos (spelling?)...hmmmmmm..... that's all I've got! Only time will tell! I'm really excited!!!! I'll keep yo posted...

Hope you're in the holiday spirit...I know I am. The countdown to Xmas break has begun...12 more days of school!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happiest Teacher Ever,
