This is my sweet baby girl..............o.k. my niece but close enough! I love her to death and I absolutely never get sick of seeing her. She is the sweetest baby ever and her smile just melts you! She is a ladybug for Halloween and it is soooooo cute! I will have to post pictures of her costume. Her name is Halle Jae and she is almost 8 months. I was there at the hospital when she was born so it has been really fun to watch her grow! I have 8 nieces and nephews. My oldest nephew will turn 14 years old in a few weeks and she is the youngest! I love being an Aunt..........when they get naughty you just give them back to their parents! Sometimes I wish that would work with my school students:)

Yay! Mariah Carey came out with a new album and her new song "I want to know what love is" is AMAZING! That is like my favorite song by Foreigner but Mariah's pipes can really sing it great! If you haven't heard it look it up, I love it! I heard it on the radio and it totally made my weekend! I have been listening to it over and over for the past couple days. I am such a music freak it's not even funny!

This is my great friend and cousin Bre. She is a great friend and she came up and stayed with me last night. We always have fun! This is a pix of her and I when she got engaged in the limo hence while I am holding her hand. Bre your awesome!

So I had to add a picture of Pompeii because as a history major this was one of the COOLEST parts of my trip to Europe. For those that don't know...........Mount Vesuvious erupted (volcano) in AD 79 and the ash buried the people of the city of Pompeii. It's crazy because their bodies were preserved in the positions they were killed in. This may be a little morbid but it honestly is very fascinating history. Look it up! So a re-cap of my life...........I took the GRE last week and it is over and done with and I passed! Thank goodness! I am in the process of applying to SUU's interpersonal/ corporate communications program so we will see how that goes. Teaching is great, my kids are awesome this year (knock on wood). I am loving the fall season it's my favorite........Football, Halloween, Fall leaves, Thanksgiving, Christmas.......I love it!
