Adair's Bucket List

Good Morning Ladies:
I just want to start off by saying how truly blessed I feel to have each and every one of you in my life. You have each made a mark on my life that I cannot even begin to expain. We have been through so much together and I know that there are many more memories still in the making. I want to start my bucket list off with several praises- things that were always on my list- but have since been answered by God's Holy power.

So- here goes my list:

1. To have the most amazing friends a girl could ask for, friends that I can go through life with and know that they will always support me, love me, and pray for me as I will them! (check) :)

2. To marry an amazing man that puts me 2nd only to the Lord, that is the christian leader of our home and makes sure that I know I am a blessing in his life. (check) :)

3. To own a yorkie! Little did I know that I would own the sweetest yorkie in the world! :) (check)

4. Become a teacher! (check) :)

5. Travel to Italy again (especially Florence and Tuscany)

6. Travel to Australia

7. Become a mother.

8. Learn how to ballroom dance

A Challenge

I have a challenge! I want us each to create a Bucket List! Anything and everything you want to do before you kick the bucket. I have not seen the movie but I think this will be fun! Don't worry about order- just for the next several days, brainstorm things that you want to do before it's too late and compile a list! Then, put it on here so we can all see!

The Daily Grind

Hello my sweet friends! Oh how I miss you! It has been way too long since we had a get together! Can we plan one soon!?!? I am in dire need!

Life has been extremely busy for me right now and so if you have called and I have not called you back, don't take it personal please. Please!!!!

Michelle moved out this weekend which was very emotional for both of us! I am not sure yet what the status of my house is ... but she went ahead and got an apartment. Her apartment is precious but I don't like staying/living alone! You all know I love to be surrounded by people I love so spending my evenings alone is a different pace for me!

Luckily, I start school tomorrow and I will have class 2 night a week! I am so overwhelmed with getting everything together to begin grad school! I start tomorrow! Please say a prayer!

Other than that, there is not a whole lot going on! I have been reading about Harper Brown Stamps and it is such a precious story! Her mother, Kelly, is someone I have never met but wow, do I admire her. I went back and read her blogs from years past and her wisdom and faithfulness is so admirable. She posted a blog about waiting for Mr. Right and it was absolutely incredible! It really gave me hope for what I am waiting on! We shall see. Please continue lifting their family up in prayer! They need us!

Love you all! I will attach a few random pictures soon! Just for fun! -NooNoo

Pray for Harper--

I put up a little stamp up at the top to click on- (click on the stamp to read their blog) I do not know this family- but always read her blog for recipes and ideas- her dad has the devotional blog that I sent ya'll a while back. She also started a blog that is nation wide with a list of names of women that are trying to concieve a child. It is a prayer blog that is prayed over daily by many women around the world included me (my name is actually on the list). This girl (Kelly) is truly an inspiration with her unfailing faith and trust in God. They tried for over 2 years to get pregnant with Harper and now that she is here- she came into the world with a bit of a heart trouble and had pneumonia. She is still in VERY critical condition and really needs our prayers. Pray for them often!

love you!

Get this Ball rolling!!!

OK- - guys- waiting on everybody to start posting!!!

Cal's computer is down- so our pictures from the holiday are all on his computer- ugh- so i can't put up any yet.

Cal and I are celebrating 5 years "officially" together today! We have been dating on and off for 6 1/2 years now- wow- time flies when you are having fun. We had a dinner and movie date on Friday night- we went to see The Curious Case of Benjamin Button- it was really good- I would reccomend it!!!

Mindy is coming to visit next Friday night- so excited about that!!! I'll have to find a way to post pics of her visit!

Happy Birthday yesterday Leigh Anne!!!! Hope you had an amazing birthday- what did you do?

I'll do a little vent- since this is the beauty of the blog! Those of you that are teachers will be able to relate to this really well- Averee (a team-mate) has 12 kids in her classroom and I had 14 kids- well on Wed. a little boy enrolled and naturally the little boy would go to Averee since she has the lowest number in her room- well the administration decided the little boy should come to me instead because he "has a past" and is an "inner city" kid and I "have dealt with that before- so I would be the best canidate for the job". Well...I take the compliment and the challenge graciously- BUT it just doesn't seem fair. So now- I have 15 kids and this little boy who throws fits, and has already scratched and pushed me in the 2 days time, and Averee still has 12 kids- because "she has never dealt with children with a past like I have". UGH!!! I am just so frustrated with this- if I wanted to deal with inner city issues- I would've applied in Birmingham public! Oh well- now I will just try to love him past all of his issues. I will say that this little boy has seen and been through more in his 5 years on this earth than I have been through in my 28 years here. Ya'll just keep me in your prayers that I show this little boy God's love through me.

I love ya'll!
Have a great week!
