Another Sick One...

A couple of days ago I had believed that Jonathan had given me his cold.  After taking every medicine that is over the counter to fight the cold, nothing was working.  I had a runny nose, stuffy nose, sneezing, coughing, gunk in the lungs, I decided to finally go to the doctor.  I went to urgent care after church this morning and the doctor told me that I had a sinus infection and severe bronchitis.  While in the office I had a nebulizer treatment, 2 antibiotic injections, and 3 prescriptions written.  I picked up my prescriptions this afternoon for another antibiotic and prednizone.  The antibiotic is HUGE!!!  If you know me and pills, we have a love-hate relationship.  I have to cut this pill into 4 pieces just to take it....NOT FUN!!

Here is hoping for well wishes!!

Cold Season Has Arrived!

Jonathan has a cold.  He has been complaining of body aches, cough, sneezing, runny nose, nasal congestion, sore throat, and PND (post nasal drip).  I went to CVS tonight and got him some cough drops he could use at work, some cough medicine (go Robitussin!), some travel kleenex for work, and hand sanitizer (for me!).

Well wishes for a speedy recovery!!

A New Church Home

Jonathan and I have found a new church home to attend.  It is called First Presbyterian Church in Conroe, TX.  This church is in the process of getting an interim pastor and just elected an associate pastor.  The music ministry here is really strong.  They have 3 services: two traditional and one contemporary.  I received a scholarship to sing in the choir.  I am probably going to transfer my membership to here from my Huntsville church.  The choir director is a SHSU graduate and is a great leader for the ministry.  Since joining the choir, I have lowered the age percentage of the choir about 50%.  I am also playing in the hand bell choir as a fill-in/floater.  I will be filling in as substitute director for both the hand bell choir and regular choir if the director takes vacation or needs to leave.  It is a great church and I can't wait to continue being involved in the music ministry here!

Happy 4-Year Anniversary!!

On Wednesday it was me and Jonathan's 4-year anniversary.  I got Jonathan a card and some of his favorite chocolates.  Jonathan got me a dozen red roses, a card, and a freezer chocolate pie slice.  We only got just a little bit of time to hang out on the couch and watch TV because I had church until about 9 PM.  It was still a good day and it was great to be reminded of how long we have been together.  We both look forward to the upcoming planning of our wedding and our continued life together!!

A Mess My Mother Wouldn't Be Proud Of....

Student Teaching

This semester, I am required to student teach before graduating in December.  I started student teaching on August 22nd - Monday.  I will be placed at two different schools.  I am at Peet Junior High right now.  It is located in Conroe, so it doesn't take me very long to get to school.  My next placement will be at Spring High School in Spring, TX.  I will start there towards the middle of October.  It will be about a 15-20 minute drive everyday, so still not bad.

My experience so far has been great!  My mentor teacher had given me lots of guidance and direction.  She likes to just let me run lessons how I would like to.  I have one class that she has given me complete control over and that is the Music Appreciation class.  I also get to teach some of the choir classes.  Lately, I have taught all of the classes all day!!  It is so much fun, but SO EXHAUSTING!!  I usually go to bed around 9 or 10 PM and wake up at 6:30 AM.  I have already had to write-up a girl and she got In School Suspension because she would not stop talking....and it's only the 3rd WEEK OF SCHOOL!!!!

Anyways....I have been loving every minute of it and it's not over!!  Here is to more stories on the way!!
