Mine and Rhett's 1 Year Anniversary is tomorrow!! YAYYY! I can't even believe how fast time has gone by! It seems like only yesterday Rhett and I were watching the 4th of July fireworks at the Magic Kingdom on our Honeymoon (or as folks who honeymoon in Disney call it, our Disneymoon)! We've had a lot of ups and alot of downs, but being with Rhett has made the good times great and the bad times not that bad at all. I am so excited about our future together, we have so much to look forward to!

It's Amazing...

the way things work out!! We were soooooo sooooo very worried that Rhett wouldn't have a job for next year, since they are cutting so many teachers and he is not yet on tenure. Well, no more worrying!! He was offered a PE teaching position at the DJJ (Juvenile Justice, where he got Teacher of the Year...they must like him) and he accepted and signed a contract! It's going to be 12 months out of the year rather than 10, so he won't get a summer, but they made an exception so he'll be able to coach summer football every year (which he loves and would have hated to give up)! Not to mention, this position pays a good bit more so we are so thankful that he's been given this opportunity. YAY for Rhett!

And our 1 year anniversary (I can't wait to eat our cake topper!!) is right around the corner and I was trying to think of something we could do. I was thinking maybe we could go on a weekend trip somewhere, but then I thought....I want to get something that will last a loooooooong time and not just be over after the weekend. Sooooo, we decided to buy ourselves the Wii for our anniversary present! YAY! We've been playing it like crazy and both our arms are pretty sore! But it sure is fun!

Have a fabulous rest of the weekend everyone!!

Camping at Eufaula

Well, this weekend I went camping with Rhett and Wes. We went because all of Rhett's friends have a fishing tournament every year at Lake Eufaula, so I decided to go with Rhett this time. We had a good time, but it was freaking hot!!! I can not even express that enough! Anywho, we brought Rhett's parent's camper and thank goodness we did, because that suckers AC works wonders!! That's my kind of camping, AC has to be involved somehow. Soooo, basically Rhett and Wes went fishing everyday. They would go out early, come in for lunch, and then go out again until "dark thirty". After lunch each day, I'd go out and explore towns around the area and do a little shopping. I love cute little towns! Saturday, I went to the next big town over and watched Sex and the City and I loved it!!! It was definitely weird seeing it in movie form, but I still really liked it and I hope they keep making more movies!! Let's see, the weekend pretty much ended with a giant fish fry using all the bass the boys caught over the course of their tournament. All in all, I had a really nice time being outdoors, but man am I glad to be home!! Home sweet home! There's no place like it!!
