Positive Intentions

Okay so I know it has been a while (a LONG while) since my last post. Of course there is a ton to catch you up on but I guess I better just hit the highlights. Over the past summer Preston and I had a blast and accomplished a ton!

We became an aunt and uncle in May! We are totally in love with our nephew and enjoy spending time with him when we can! I think being around him makes us really excited to think about what the future has in store for us as parents.

Throughout the summer we tried to get away as much as possible! Last year we spend a majority of our time painting. This year we were looking forward to accomplishing a some projects but we were mostly excited about having fun! We were lucky enough to spend a couple weeks at the beach with both sides of our families. We also spent a week on a cruise! We were able to visit several counties which was an amazing expierence. Our favorite county was Honduras! What a beautiful county. I wonder where we will go next summer?



Aside from all the fun I also began a new chapter in my achademic life. I began graduate school this fall. Of course being back at my alma mater makes it even more special! My plan is to graduate with my Masters in Education with a concentration in Reading. When I finished I will be lisenesed K-12 in reading! It is very exciting and I am really pumped to see what the future has to offer! For now I will use everything I am learning to better my teaching! I have already learned so much!

As far as the present goes we are enjoying fall. Halloween was a sucess and thankfully I did not run out of candy as I did last year! We barely made it but we made it and that is what matters! Aside from Halloween we have also been celebrating football season! This past weekend we visited Blacksburg, VA for the UNC game at Virginia Tech. We had a great time making new tailgate buddies. Of course the game was AMAZING so that made our experience even more exciting. Although our heart belongs to the Tar Heels we can definatly appreciate Hokie fans. They put us all to shame! They are amazingly devoted to their team! Their fans certainly created a unique experience for us. Beating the Hokies was the highlight though!

It seems our life is crazy but we are enjoying every single minute of it. Until next time... (which I promise will not be months from now!) Go Tar Heels! Beat Dook!
