Auntie Ree!!!

Well...it is now official...I am going to be an aunt on my mom's bday April 7, 2013!!! I am sooo excited....I didn't have to work so mom and I took a quick trip down to Mobile and took my sister back and got to go to her 3d sonogram and find out the gender of the baby....okay I was set on Mallory...but I got a boy and I am going to love him to death!!! It was such an awesome experience...and seeing it today made me want a baby so bad! But I know that the timing is not right as of yet, but if God decided for Tim and I to become parents we would be ready!!! I am sooo glad I get to share the news with everyone...congrats to the proud parents!!! Hannah & Charlie Johnson!!!

In God I Trust!!!

Wow!! What a day already! Woke up this morning to some great comments on a simple picture I put on my facebook with Wizard of Oz which is my fav movie in the world about the scarecrow being a Democrat because he was talking with no brain!! Well, I am a conservative Christian person. I do not go down the ballot all Republican or all Democrat. I vote on people as what they "say" they will do for me and what they believe in. I truly believe to let people live the way they want to because I am not the ultimate judge of the world, but I do believe I am supposed to help people see the right path to go and live! Jesus is the Savior of my life! I cannot believe if everyday I went through life with no purpose what I would do. How can people believe after they die that is it? What are we here for then anyways then??? I do not know how people cannot believe that there is a God who created us and put us into place. OMGoodness have you ever just sat and watched a video of the human body??? OMGoodness how complex it is...even conceiving a child...holy mackrel!!! It is a miracle to bring a child into this world, and there are still some that are not as lucky to have children! I just feel so empowered today to stand up for my maker!! I am lucky to be married to a Christian husband who shares the same views as I! I am going to sit and pray and study today to see if I can truly stand up and be a witness to people. I do not know my Bible like my husband and that is my fault for not really studying like I should during my life, but that is because it was never forced on me! I chose to follow God on my own and so glad I did!! I have been battling lately inside of me about my salvation. I feel the devil trying to trick me and tell me that God wouldn't save someone like me that sins daily...but then I remember and feel God's hand upon me and know that he is my Savior...I know he died on the cross for ME! Saved ME! Loves ME!!! How powerful is that!!!! I feel horrible that I have not been putting him first, but being here at home lately I have had this time to focus on my life and my meaning of being here!! I want to commit more to my church  and my Savior!! I am sorry to the ones out there that I have failed!! I trust in God 100% and should not be ashamed to shout that to the world!!  Thank you God for saving my soul! For sending your son to die for me! I do not know if I had a son I could honestly sacrifice him for this rude crude world we live in! I cannot imagine you having to sit at the throne of heaven and watch your people destroy what you created!! In God I trust!!! Thank you Thank you Thank you and that will never be enough!!

On another note.....about my occupation-teaching! I loooove being a teacher! It is the greatest feeling to teach children and to know that you are the source behind it. I vote for people that I believe will help not only our education "system" but be beneficial to our children and communities! I try and research every candidate I can find! I do believe in voting for yourself, not what your family does or friends or even church members, but yourself! I love teaching and to not have a teaching job is very humbling. I have had time to think about how I want to be a teacher! How I want my class to go, what I want to teach them, and how I would want my own child to be treated!! Okay, so I am not in a classroom I get it! It is definitely different when you are in there....no one else just you and those kids and that feeling hits that you are the responsibility for their learning, actions, behaviors, etc.... I love that feeling! I love being the one that child goes home to at night and tells their parents about what they learned and how Mrs. Sutton loves them and cares for them just like their own parents/guardians. I know sometimes my posts on Facebook seem like I bash teachers and the education system, but that is not true at all!! I respect all teachers and educational personnel, but not all teachers are those that want to make a difference! There are teachers out there all over the world that want those summers off, Christmas off, Thanksgiving off, etc.....and count down the days until their vacations instead of worrying about that one more day that could make a difference to that child that has struggled all year to spell CAT! I feel that God has a place for me soon in a classroom. Where? I don't know, but I am going to trust in him on this! Maybe it's in a Christian school where I would love to teach kids about Christ and things of this world that help us get through daily life! I am sooo glad to see that there are new teachers getting hired and believing in what I believe in because I was there with them in that class at JSU where they taught us to believe in children and give them your all!!! Not all that you have left! Children are so precious and I am seeing that more and more everyday! As a future parent (not any time soon), I am scared to raise a child in today's society. How can you be sure your kid is where they say they are? How do you prevent them from being in a car wreck? How do you let go? I now see what my parents were so worried about and still are! My parents care for me more and more everyday! They have always worried about my well being, job, safety, etc... I am glad I have parents that care about me because I do not know where I would be! Love the people you are around more everyday and show it! You never know when they will leave this Earth! Thank you for all the teachers, professors, mentors, and leaders in my life!! I would not be where I am today if it was not for you! I have had some great people in my life and I believe that they are going to be a huge part of my future forever!!!! Thank you to the teachers out there that take that extra step everyday to ensure that your classroom is the safe learning environment needed for all kids!!!

Okay....so I am done with my rant for today! Thanks for reading this blog! You do not know how much it means to me for people to support me with the same beliefs that they have! I do not like not getting along with people and have always just grinned and nodded when things are being said, but I feel that God wants me to speak up more and maybe my gift is going to be way more than I know!!

With Christ's love,
Heather :) 

Going with the flow

So it is that time again for school to start back soon......and I still do not have my own classroom. I have began filling my paperwork for subbing!! I am trying to stay optimistic, but it is truly hard!! Wow, a lot has happened since I wrote last! I forgot I had this blog and needed to update it! I quit my job to start back subbing full-time! My best friend Kaci had her baby which was an awesome experience. It is really weird to know that she has her own baby now! That one day she will be dressing up her little girl to go to prom, dances, dates, etc.... It was very real holding her and knowing that we aren't in high school anymore! I celebrated my 2nd wedding anniversary which was awesome with a trip to Gatlinburg!! Dollywood was the best because Tim had never been!! I am really hoping things start looking up for me, but I cannot complain because God has tremendously blessed Tim and therefore in return blesses us! I cannot wait to see what the near future holds for us but I know it is going to be bright :)

Day 30- Goals

Well, my goal for the next 30 days is to be more positive, study God's word more, start praying with my husband, lose weight!, become the vibrant person I used to be, and don't take anything for granted!!! I want to be the best friend, wife, daughter, sister, and confidante I can be!! I cannot wait to see what this year holds and I am super excited to find out.....hope you enjoyed my 30 day challenge!!!

Day 29- Wishes

Okay, I am supposed to list people dead or alive that I would invite to dinner and include the menu.

1. My great-aunt Bid who is deceased
2. My grant Sybil who is deceased
3. My husband
4. My mom
5. My dad
6. My brother
7. Sister
8. PawPaw John who is deceased
9. Judy Garland who is deceased
10. Elvis....who we think is deceased lol

the dinner would be something pasta! I love pasta......but I dont care about the menu the people are dear to me...except the celebs....Paw Paw John is Tim's pawpaw who passed away while we were dating...I only got to see him twice before he passed away....I would love to get to know him and see how he was....I would want tim to meet my aunt bid and just want Grant to be back to be there...my family are very important to me and I just love spending time with them as much as I can!!!

Day 28- Band

This blog is about something I miss....well that would have to be being in high school in band!! I miss my closest friends now that we are all grown and have our own lives!! It is soo sad!! I miss seeing them everyday doing the stupid stuff we did....I loved band so much! It is what kept us together!!! It was some of the best times we ever had!!

Day 27- Problems

A problem I have or have had in the past.....well a problem I have is I am a control freak!! If i cannot control it, then I usually don't like doing it....I am a worry wart!! I worry about everything....I live my life in stress most of the time and think about ways to change things to make them better! I always worry about what other people think and want to please everyone!! I have gotten a little better lately about this problem, but there are times when I just cannot control it and I have to step back and know that everything is going to be okay!!!

Day 26- If I had a million dollars

OMG!! If i had a million dollars......whew....where to begin...well first, Tim and I would be out of debt...no more student loans!! We would pay off everything we owe like our car....then I would start building our dream home on the beach!!! We would buy cars for our parents and houses for them as well.....we would make sure our siblings didn't need anything! We would invest some of it....we would give some to our church to pay off their debts!!! We would put most of it in the bank and live smart!! I would be okay if we had a million dollars and I could actually enjoy life again and wouldn't have to be a worry wart!!!

Day 25- Jesus

This blog is supposed to be about someone who fascinates you...well my person would have to be Jesus.....WOW!!! What a guy......he came born from a virgin....worked as a carpenter and walked with regular everyday people. Then became a Messiah to the people and was recognized...also cast out, crucified, and then died for those people!! Good and bad!! WOW!! What a Savior!! I cannot believe that someone died for ME!! Little ole me....that does bad everyday...doesn't appreciated much I get!! I am always complaining about everything that doesn't matter to be rewarded greatly one day!!! I just am fascinated by him because there aren't any people  that could do what he did.....I am so grateful to have him in my life and know him personally!! God please forgive me for when I fail and just carry me in your arms daily!! I pray that I can give others hope through you and share you with them!!

Day 24- Fav movie

Okay my fav movie is....Wizard of Oz...and if you don't know what it is about you need a head check!! Lol it comes on all the time...I love the movie because Judy Garland is awesome as Dorothy and I have people tell me I look like her in that movie....so that is always what I have wanted to be and I guess that is where my singing passion comes from :)f

Day 23- Bring out the hotties!!

these are my top 5 for who I think is attractive in the famous world!! i couldnt really think right now for being put on the spot but these are some good ones...no words...just enjoy!

Day 22- Change is good!

Okay, well how have I changed the past 2 years??? Okay, well first I am a wife now! I got married 2 years ago and have learned how to live in harmony with someone. I enjoy being married so much! It is soo awesome...except for bill time!! I was not really driven to do anything 2 years ago but being with Tim has shown me how I can accomplish my goals and dreams and to never give up! I haven't really changed all that much except for being a wife!! :) and a mommy to Rudy!!! I love him sooo much! He is the cutest dog ever and couldn't imagine life without him either!!

Day 21- BBT

Well, my fav new tv show would have to be Big Bang Theory....OMG!! It is soooo hilarious!! Tim and I are soo addicted!! We have Seasons 1-4 and just cannot quit watching them!! Okay, granted I don't believe in evolution or big bang theory, but this show doesn't touch on that stuff at all!! It is just comic relief and is insane!! Sheldon is my favorite and I am sooo rooting for Penny and Leonard to be together...you should watch it! It is better than most of the garb on tv now!!

Day 20- Education

This blog is about how important I think education is to me.....wow!! Considering I am a teacher. education is huge....education doesn't always come from a teacher either.....I have learned since I have gotten older there are things I want to know on my own, so I go and research them and learn all I can. Let students explore, make mistakes, control their own learning and hands-on lessons! We are facilitators.......we only guide and help students learn....they are the ones who are supposed to be actually doing!!! Education is sooo important. I can remember not learning much history throughout my life, so I do not feel comfortable talking about it because I feel ignorant. You take a lesson and turn into real life! Genuine experiences!!!

Day 19- I'm Sorry

Okay, well this blog is about the biggest regret in my life. I can honestly say there is nothing in my life I wish I would have done differently, but I wish I would have taken more time to slow down and appreciate family!! I miss my grandmother so much and I wish I would have let my mom borrow the car the night before she passed away so we could go and see her!! I wish we would have had that last little time....but isn't that what everyone does??? questions why they couldnt have done something differently.....i guess my biggest regret in life would be not being as close with God as I could have been!! I made some pretty big mistakes in life and wish I could take them back, but then that wouldnt be who I am.....they werent that bad to have ruined my life, but just make me ashamed of what I could have done better!!! oh well.......we all wished we could go back somehow........just love life now!!

Day 18- Books

Okay this blog is hard because I am supposed to tell you a book I could read over and over and over and never get tired of.....my first choice would be the Bible! I can never study it enough and it always means something different every time I pick it up!! My other choice would be anything Nicholas Sparks!! I love all of them and none are a bad choice!!!

Day 17- Roller Coaster

Well, this blog is supposed to be about the highs and lows of this past year.....well 2011 was an okay year. I started the year out filling a maternity leave for 5th grade in Science...which was fun and challenging....then I spent all summer interviewing for teaching jobs and landed none of them :( so that made for some horrible time!! Then my husband lost his job and I had to get a full-time one which I currently still work at! I love my job but it is not what I went to school to do!! The high of my year was getting a new car!! We got our g6 in March of last year!! Lord, knows we needed one....the lows would have to be money and bills!! My student loans are just crazy!!! And not getting a teaching job...I have never felt this low and useless ever!! I want to be a good wife and let some of the slack fall back on me, but what can I do....I don't control other people!!! But maybe 2012 will be a better year and get me somewhere!!!

Day 16- Music

Well, this blog is about my view on mainstream music....I love music!! I cannot stand rap because there is soo much cussing....but lately all I have listened to is Contemporary Christian music!! I love it and it is just so much better. My husband is a DJ so it would be crazy not to like music. I was in band in high school and could not imagine my life without music!! It helps me so much in my life. When I am having a bad day, I can listen to a song that fits my situation and it helps me sooo much! I loooooooove music! You will find me singing in some kind of form throughout the day :)

Day 15- 15 things about me

2. I love to sing and wish I could get over my fear of performing and acting in front of people!! I would love to be on Broadway in Wicked!!

Day 14- Memories

Well, today's blog said to tell of your earliest memory. Well, my earliest memory would be Kindergarten. I went through my teacher's desk because she held up a hairbow and asked everyone if it was theirs. Of course, no one said anything and she placed it in her desk. So then she left the room to go next door, so while she was gone I decided to go take a peek and see if it was mine. She walked in as I was going through her desk and she took me out in the hall and yelled at me while I squalled and bawled!!! I still remember it!! AAAHHHH!

Day 13- New Place

Okay well this blog is about a place I would like to move or visit....I will touch on both. Tim and I have had a dream of moving to Pensacola for sooo long!! I would love to live there because we have family and friends already there!!! Pensacola isn't just about the beach...its about opportunity and bettering ourselves! I am sorry but Alabama is soooo dead.....for my career, someone has to die or you have to know someone serious to get a teaching job....for Tim's line of work, Obama killed radio and marketing, so its really dead!!! It just seems like neither of us can catch a break!! It just upsets me to see how many people get jobs and complain about it when I wish and dream of being in their shoes!!! Don't take what you have for granted.....okay yea we have a lot more than some people, but we are struggling and trying to make it as best we can!!! its just sickening!! Well....the place we would like to visit would be Bora Bora!! I would love to sit and just stare at all the vast that God created!! Well thats it for today guys...ttyl!!

Day 11-Music

My guilty pleasure is...wait for it....Justin Beiber.....yes I have Beiber fever!! I love watching his videos on YouTube!! I love his music....i just cannot get enough of it!!! I think that is my only one I can think of right now but yea i know there are a lot you that are going to freak out over it anyways!

Day 9 -Dream Job

So today's blog is if you could have any job in the world, what would it be. Well, to be honest.....I would be a teacher!!! I love teaching so much there is nothing I would rather do!! I really enjoy it and it is the career choice I wanted....nothing else in this world seems as great!! Now, if I knew teaching couldn't be an option....I would love to perform on Broadway in Wicked!!! It would be sooo awesome!!! I would absolutely love it!!! Singing is my hobby that I enjoy and it never gets old!! But my dream job would be an elementary school teacher!! I have dreamed of having my own classroom for a long time and hopefully I will have one soon!!!

Day 8- Satisfaction

Okay, tonight's blog is about a moment when you felt most satisfied in life......okay man there are soooo many moments, but the best feeling is when I graduated from college!! That was my ultimate goal in life because it was super important to me. My parents did not get to attend college and I was the first one in my family to go and actually graduate so I was super excited!! Getting that diploma meant something huge to me...granted I do not have a teaching  job yet, but to know that I suceeded in one of my most important achievements in life was the best feeling ever!! All my other goals in life might have changed,but it was great to accomplish one I had set since I was little...now granted I thought I would graduate a doctor when I was little, but life changes!! I know it says a moment, but the other moment would have to be when I got married!! I felt the most satisfied on this day because I knew that I had found someone I would spend the rest of my life with and that loved me unconditionally. At one point in my life, I thought that the romantic part of my life was gone for a while...never would I have dreamed I would be married at 23!! I am super lucky to have found my soulmate so early in life. The day we got married I felt satisfaction because I knew I must have done something right to make this awesome man ask me to marry him and actually go through with it!! I am super lucky to have such an awesome life and I am grateful to have many moments in life I am truly satisfied with beyond words.....again thanks for reading tonight!!! Peace out! Good night :)

Day 7-Toys

Okay, well tonight's topic is favorite childhood toys. Well as an infant my favorite would have to be my muppets train set that had ferris wheels and stuff that stopped at and made it operate at each station. My favorite things were Cabbage Patch babies and anything to do with singing...like microphone stands, karaoke machines, etc....I was lucky to never have wanted anything because whatever we asked for we usually got!! My parents were great gift givers and let us having anything in the world!! I used to have the coolest stuff and now its sad that kids dont have imaginations or cannot thing outside the box because everything they have does the thinking for them!! Well thats all for now...ttyl! :)http://ghostofthedoll.co.uk/Forum/index.php?topic=593.0

Day 6- Cancer

http://zodiac-signs-astrology.com/zodiac-signs/cancer.htm

So Day 6 is about my zodiac sign cancer and asking if it fits my personality and temperment.....yes it does in some way. Let me clarify I do not believe in this stuff but I like to read it and have fun with it. Cancer pretty much describes me in a sense. I am not crabby all the time, but being dependent on people for emotions and encouragement are soo me! If you read this article it pretty much sums me up to a T!! Well these blogs are going well so far...hope you are having fun reading them!! Thanks! :)

Day 5- Comfort Food

Hey guys....well today's blog consists of favorite comfort foods and why. Well my comfort food is really anything I can find at the moment. I really don't rely on food to provide me comfort. I like chocolate though as a go to sweet. I am going to start controlling this craving and start doing what is best for me before it gets out of hand!! Sorry it is not a long blog today guys but not really much to talk about here! Bye! :)

Day 4- Religion

Well, I am sitting here with Tim at work while is doing radio.....I decided I better get my blog in for today!! Todays topic is my view on religion. I believe that religion is different for every person just like God intended it to be. The definition of religion is the belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, esp. a personal God or gods or details of belief as taught or discussed. I believe that religion is a very big part of Tim and my life today! That is the only way we have made it so far! I am sooo lucky to have a Christian husband that I can pray with and discuss God with!! Today in our world saying the word God is starting to become bad or overly used as an oulet for people to think they are religious! I love telling people about God/Jesus and how he can become their personal Savior and ruler of their life!! I have been thinking a lot about this today because I have not been making God number one in my life and fully trusting in him. I believe this is the number one reason I do not have a teaching job because I have not trusted him enough and believed that he will come through!! I do believe that God can do whatever whenever and I know that I should have faith that he will bring me and Tim through anything! I have lived it and seen it so I know it can happen. I get my full worship in when I sing in choir. When I sing hymns and our special music, I can feel God shining through me!! That is his gift he gave me was singing ability and I definitely make sure I use it to glorify him!! I am going to close with what I believe in my religion as a Southern Baptist. But before I do this I just want to say that denomination were brought about my humans and as long as you believe in God and have him in your life...that is all I really want!! We just all worship in different ways. So that being said, as a Baptist I believe that God was by himself and decided to start our world into being. (Genesis 1:1) He decided to send himself to Earth in human form which is where Jesus came into the world from a virgin birth. He walked the Earth and was sent to die on a cross for our sins and allow us to receive him and have eternal life (John 3:16) He died and rose again on the 3rd day and now he sits at the right hand of God on the judgement seat! I am sooo excited to know that after death, there will be more worshipping and actually in the prescence of my Lord Jesus! I will get to see family members again and have a huge party there with the only one that matters in this world! If it wasn't for him, we wouldn't even be here!! I am so excited to share this with you! This is MY blog, please remember that. If you don't agree with some of my views that is fine, but this is my 30 day challenge blog to share with you and not up for argument! Thanks for your time!! Have a blessed day!!

Day 3-Pet Peeves...oh Fun!

Okay so now we are on day 3 which is top 5 pet peeves....oh lord!! If I put them on here it is going to drive me crazy lol!! My first pet peeve would have to be being late! I cannot stand being late to something....i used to arrive to class 30 mins early at JSU so if something happened, I would end up being on time!! It just embarasses me when I'm late especially that first day of class and everyone is staring at you and you dont know any of them. My second pet peeve would be eating! I cannot stand to hear someone crunch, slurp, or slop their food in. Sometimes I yell at Tim because it is all I can take lol! My third pet peeve would be people being nosey into my business that don't have a clue and try to give advice!! I cannot stand when people send you comments like, "Well, just give it time. It worked out for me so I know that your time is coming!" OMG!! Did you just brag about yourself in your comment making me feel worse!! Thanks alot "friend"! My fourth pet peeve would be dirty places! I am very OCD when it comes to cleaning....now I am very lax in our computer room, but I have to have the clothes cleaned and hung up, floors swept and mopped, carpet vacummed....and everything has a place...or you can make it one!! My last pet peeve would have to be driving!! I can not stand to be in the car with someone who cannot drive. First of all if I wanted to get there 30 mins late I would ride with a slow poke! Secondly, the brakes are to be applied when someone is slowing or stopping, not whenever you feel like it!! And thirdly, the little stick on the driving column is called a blinker....freaking use it!!! Well those are my 5 pet peeves for right now...I am sure I have different ones but that is all I could come up with right now!! :)

Day 2- 10 Years!

Okay, today's blog is asking where will I be in 10 years. Wow, 10 years!! I will be 34 in 10 Years which scares me a little!!! Well, I see myself in my own classroom teaching, happily married, owning our own home, and having 2 children. My goal is to get a teaching job soon!! That is one of my dreams....I never knew that that would be that path God would want me to take, but I enjoy it so much and never look at it as a job!! It is the most blessed career ever!! It is sooo rewarding and I love it!! Marriage is the number one thing in my life that is soo important to me! Now days, marriage is a feat for most people and enter in marriage lightly thinking that if it doesn't work out, then hey I can get a divorce and find someone else with what I want!! I love Tim so much and could never imagine having to go through a divorce!! Owning our own home is important because we want a stable home that is big enough for our family to grow!!! I cannot wait to have our own home and get to design it and pick it out or build one!! Its just an exciting process to even think about!! And finally children....Tim and I have talked about this a lot and we want a boy and a girl, but if that doesn't happen then we want just 2.....but I have started to think that 3 would be fun too! But, I dont know if we can handle 3!!!! My mom and dad had 3 and Tim's parents had 3 so I dunno maybe not for us!! But I am excited to think that in 10 years we will have children that are probably 6-8 years old!! Wow, I cannot believe that I am growing up so fast and thinking about all these grown up things :) I am excited to think about 10 years from now, but honestly I have nooo clue!!! I just hope that we have a happy, healthy family!!!

Day 1

Your current relationship, if single discuss being single. Okay well for those of you that know me, you know that I am happily married going on 1 year and a half :) Our relationship is so great!! We have had our downs here lately because I am the part of the relationship that likes stability and consistency, where as Tim is the spontaneous, fly by the seat of his pants type person. Let me give you a little background and then elaborate on us now as a couple.
     We met in 2006 on Myspace through talking and friends. Then we met in person at an Iron Bowl game that our friends, Janet and Anthony Mince, had at their house. I never spoke to Tim that night because I was with one of my friends and we were hanging out with other people. Well the matchmakers started getting ideas that we would be a great couple because we both weren't really looking for anyone to date, but maybe just casually hang out and talk and nothing too serious. Well, Tim invited me to his apartment New Years Eve 2006/2007 New Year. We hung out and sung karaoke at his apartment and had a great time. Little each day he would call me and I would go by on my way to class and see him. So basically we have been inseparable ever since. I fell in love with him hard and took my time to get to know him and see how wonderful of a person he was and still is to me! We were engaged on October 23, 2009 and got married July 17, 2010!! The happiest day of my life!!! 
       Here we are January 12, 2012 and we are going strong as ever. I fall in love with him every day! I cannot stand being away from him and when we are together it is just magic!! We have the best chemistry ever and we click in a way I have not seen anyone in a long time!! We love to talk and share things with each other while at the same time watch TV and laugh and just relax with each other. Tim makes me feel so safe and secure! I know he always has my best interst at heart. We both want the best for the other and want to watch the other grow and become the best they can be. Our relationship was not something I expected and still to this day feel sooooo blessed to have!! In the past things were rough for me because I was holding on to some much from feelings to people to places and it wasn't good for me. Tim gave me a whole new perspective on life and made me want to be the best wife, woman, and person I can be. He pushed me to achieve my goals and believes that I will achieve them!! I could not imagine my life without him!! I am so grateful and humbled that he chose me to be his wife!!! I love him more and more everyday!!! I cannot wait to start our own little family and have that much more love for him/her and for each other!!! Rudy is enough for now...our little weinie dog, but one day in the future when I have a full-time teaching job, we will start our little family and build an even bigger relationship for us!!!
