Who bats her lashes perfectly?

My A.M. class!

I think that John Aaron gave me the cutest Halloween card ever...if I were a bat, I think I would look like this card! The inside says...

"Who bats her lashes perfectly
and has a smile oh so sweet?
It's the one and only charming YOU
Who makes every day sweet!"

So cute!

Anyway, I had my Teacher Appraisal thing today where my principal came to observe me. We cut open a pumpkin andtalked about how it felt inside. It went pretty well except when I talked about cleaning the pumpkin off of our hands with a baby wipe and one little boy said, "You use baby wipes to clean pee pee and poo poo!!!!" really loudly and then most of the class started saying "pee pee and poo poo" and laughing. Delighful, huh? JA and I are both off to class for Halloween!!

My P.M. class!

Little Miss Sunshine...

Wednesday nights are me and John Aaron's official date nights...here we are being so spontaneous! At 7:00 last night we decided to go see Little Miss Sunshine at 7:35...we didn't really know what it was about, but we thought it was going to be really funny. It really wasn't that funny, it was actually really weird...and kinda funny in a scary way. Then we went to Starbucks afterward and saw a few of John Aaron's friends from SWBTS studying. By the way, Starbucks has yummy hot chocolate!

An all nighter!

So...John Aaron experienced his first Seminary all-nighter...and he looks pretty good!! This is us at SWBTS before our class on Tuesday night. John Aaron has an Old Testament class and I have a class about being a minister's wife from 6:15 to 9:15. Lately in the class we have learned how to sit, stand, pick up things, and how to set the table - extremely important things like that, but last night we talked about the role of women in the church. Mrs. Patterson read a verse that I have heard a thousand times:

"This is the day that the Lord has made,
We will rejoice and be glad in it."
-Psalm 118:24

Since I have started teaching Pre-K, some days I forget that God is alot bigger than all the worries I have. That verse was an encouragement to me to remember that God is big and he knows what he is doing with my life. Remember to rejoice in this day even if you have 4- year olds saying bad words to you and even if you have pulled an all-nighter!!

we're back!

hello everyone! sorry it has been so long since we last updated our blog spot! Hopefully, we will get better at letting everyone know what is going on with us in Fort Worth.

We have exciting news to post tonight...John Aaron got a job!! He is the Assisstant Pastor for 2nd and 3rd graders at Fellowship Church in Grapevine. You can go to www.fellowshipchurch.com to check out the church's website. There are about 1,000 2nd and 3rd graders that come each weekend (There are 4 different services). He will be leading the large group part of the service in 3 of the 4 services each weekend and then during the other service, we can go to church together. Every 2 months there is a different theme so this weekend kicked off a new series called "Treasure Quest" which is in the jungle. These pictures are on the set....John Aaron gets to swing on a rope swing! So....we're really excited and it's fun to see the great things God has planned for us here!

And in other news equally important...I discovered that I really liked headbands...if you're a girl, you should definitely invest in one!
