Big week!

I have to begin by adding a quick comment to my last post. A few weeks ago I showed pictures of Hampton's newly organized closet. You might have noticed that he already has lots of clothes. This is thanks to my best friend Brittany Same. Her son, Liam, will be exactly one year older than Hampton so she passed on all of his outgrown clothes to us. I am so thankful to have a friend like Brittany.

What a big week! The teachers started school this past Monday. It was great to see everyone and get back into a routine. I'm excited for school to start and ready to meet the sweet kids that we have coming to 6th grade this year. The students start this coming Monday and I still have a lot of work to do before the year officially begins.

I also started my third trimester this week. I feel like Hampton is going to be here before I know it. I am nervous for the challenges that this trimester brings especially since I plan to work right up to November 3rd. But I am blessed to have such amazing friends/coworkers to help me out at school. I am also grateful to have Jeff's family here in Birmingham. I don't know what we'd do without them. I also know Hampton is going to enjoy his travels to Virginia to see the Ruley fam. We have so much to look forward.

How I'm feeling: Very good

Side effects of the moment: Heartburn and ligament pains

Craving: Chicken fingers and Sweets (If this is what Hamp craves he's going to eat just like his father)
