Weeeellllll, it has been almost a year since I posted last....NOT COOL!!! This has been the craziest, most amazing past couple of months. I have grown up, turned 21, and started student teaching! I have been looking around on PINTREST and it is the coolest thing ever. All that I have looked through are teaching blogs that have some of the best ideas ever! I am going to have to start taking notes! I am so excited to start my new year with some amazing experiences! Wish me luck!! :)

Long time no blog!
Wow!!!! That's all I can really say right now!! I haven't posted since May and sooooooo much has gone on!!! Normally, what I would talk about in my blogs was: school, work, friends, family, and Riley. Well, we can talk about school for a minute. I had changed my major to Elementary Education back in the spring after working at daycare because I absolutely loved it! Still do, even though I don't work there anymore! I had to take a leave of absence so I could go to school since my semester would most certainly not have allowed me to be driving back and forth everyday. I was SO sad to leave my babies but they were moving up to blue room and becoming big kids and I'm okay with that! I have no idea how I'm going to be a parent because I can't even let go of the kids that aren't even mine! (Don't take that in a creepy way!!)
Anyways, I stopped working and am currently unemployed and the money train is quickly leaving the Andrea Station! :( Oh well...I'm going back to work during Christmas break and have already got that all lined up, which is exciting! I miss my kids and my friends at work!
Anyways, I moved into a new apartment and it's alright! I have to climb 31 stairs to get here but my leg muscles sure like it! I am learning how to cook for myself and live on my own again and it's fun, but sometimes I miss my bed and my Momma's food! (plus, her doing my laundry isn't too bad either) ((but I do know how to do it myself and I do do my own laundry for the most part!!)) I go home on the weekends since Trevor had football games, but now that those are over, I'm not sure what I'm going to do on Friday nights!! I guess I will find stuff, I guess! Maybe a date between boyfriend and I! Hopefully!
Speaking of boyfriend, he is good. Finished fire school and EMT school and still works for his dad at the photo lab. I really wish he would get the job that he actually wants and would make him happy, but what do I know?! I'm just the nagging girlfriend. Oh well....We had our 1 year anniversary on Sept. 11 (coincidence? maybe!) and we spent the day at Trevor's football game that morning and then we went to Buffalo Wild Wings for the OU game and then he surprised me with Rangers tickets!! I was soooooo excited!! :) :) ((How 'bout them Rangers!!!! Going to the World Series was UHMAHZING!))
Anyways, Riley Roo is doing great!!! She is almost crawling and she can pull up on just about anything! Her personality is growing every day and I can't believe that she will be 7 months old on the 12th...I'm getting old!!! Oh well! She is absolutely perfect and couldn't get any smiley-er! That's not a word, but she is such a ham! You can put a camera in front of her face and say, "Riley, can we take your picture??" and she will smile even in her worst of moods! She cracks me up! Never cries, just laughs and babbles about!! :) This was her Halloween outfit! She was the cutest witch ever!! :)
So, that's about all that I have for now! :)

Over a month...
It's been a while since I've posted on my blog! There has been a lot that has gone on since little Riley was born. She is a month old today and I love this girl so much. She is sooo precious and there is so much love that surrounds her and she has a great family. I'm so proud to be her "Auntie Andi"!
I moved out of my apartment in Commerce and back home with Mom and Dad for the summer. Trevor doesn't much like the idea of having to share a bathroom again. Oh well! :)
School is over for about 3 weeks until I start summer classes over the internet from Commerce. Oh well! Gotta graduate sometime! :)
I don't have much more to say. I'm tired. Work is long and exhausting and living at home is nice and comfortable. Good night! :)

Riley Elaine...
Oh boy. My life has been super tiring lately. I don't even know where to begin. Let's start with school.
School:
It is literally going to kick my booty, but I'm doing well and my grades are pretty good which excites me. It is a long process with everything going on with research papers, and minor papers, and speeches, and quizzes coming up. I think I'm going to cry a lot before the end of this thing.
Work:
As of yesterday, the lead teacher (Mrs. Pat) in the green room (my room) has quit. Uh-ohhh! She was a grouchy old lady anyways who didn't care too much for the people there. She loved the kids, but not the older people who worked there. Oh darn. I think I'm going to see if they want to hire me full time come this summer so I can earn a little more than I do now. Anyways, that would be good. I just don't want my babies loving someone more than me!! :( :( Anyways, other than that it is going well. I had to take off yesterday for this reason:
Riley Elaine:
7 lbs. 12 ozs. 19 1/2 inches long. 3:58 p.m. April 12, 2010. My bestest friend's little girl entered the world yesterday after a tremendous scare. Lauren was doing great up until about 3 pm when the lady came in to give her an epidural. Apparently, Lauren's body couldn't take the epidural so they tried some other things but nothing worked. All of a sudden, the baby's heart beat disappeared. No one knew where it went, but they all knew that it wasn't good. They had to get that baby out before something tragic happened. I saw them wheel my best friend off to an emergency c-section and before you know, I was a big mess of tears and worry and fear. If anything would have happened to her, I don't know what I could have done. They wheeled her out at around 3:50 and the baby was plucked out of her belly at 3:58. Riley was crying and beautiful and perfect. A full head of dark hair and the squeals of a baby cat wanting dinner filled the nursery as the proud grandma (Tracy, my other momma) watched right beside her. Tracy even got to brush her hair which soothed her for about a milisecond. :) Lauren was sliced open in a hurry so it took them what felt like 6 hours, which was only about 1, to stitch her back up and put her back in her room. She hadn't even gotten to see her baby yet, but when she did, she was all smiles. Good thing she has enough hair for all those bows I had made for her. Lauren and Riley are doing great right now. I talked to Lauren about an hour ago and she sounded super tired which she said the doctors were keeping her all drugged up for the pain. Normal c-sections are planned out and carefully done, but with this case, they had to get the baby out fast. I'm so amazed at how my best friend for almost 20 years can be a mom. She will be a great mom and there are so many people supporting her and loving her. That poor Riley already has me wrapped around her finger and I can not wait to be able to play with her all summer long. As of right now, I have to finish this semester and then it will be Riley's time all summer long. I love my best friend more than anything and everything will change, but I know that everything happens for a reason and Riley is one of the best things that could have ever happened to Lauren. I love those girls more than anything and I am going to be the best Auntie Andi that anyone has ever seen!!!!
I love you, Lauren and Riley. Nothing can stop you now!! :)

Easter candy...
As I stare at the bag of Easter candy that sits on my desk, I am angry with not only myself, but Wal-Mart also. Seeing as they have the Easter candy right beside the door when you walk in means that temptations will rise up and allow the fallen to snatch the candy off the shelf before even realizing what they have done. I, sadly, was one of those fallen. The bag sits on my desk two pieces shy of what was originally there. Rats.
Anyways, my day was good. I had 17 kiddos at work today and they sure keep me guessing as to what they will do next! I dreaded the car ride to work because it was POURING rain. I couldn't see!!! But I made it to Bonham and guess what? Yep, sunshine!!! Soooo that means, we went outside to play!!! We were out there for a while and we were having a great time. One of my favorites, Ethan, talks non-stop. Seriously, non-stop. Anyways, he came up and sat in my lap and looked at me with big brown eyes and said, 'Miss Andrea, I love you.' ...Thanks, way to melt my heart!!! He is so cute and I can't help but love him!!! Everyone else was good today and that made me feel good. I got my wall decorated for our Dr. Suess month. It's his birthday!! So, of course, since I am in the green room, we did 'Green Eggs and Ham'. It looks pretty cool, if I do say so myself!! :)
Well, off to homework. T-minus 2 days until Spring Breakkk!!!!! But I still have to work, so there won't be much breakage of mine!! Good night everyone! :)

You make smile....
So I've had this song stuck in my head for a while and I'm in love with it.
"You make me smile like the sun, fall outta bed, sing like a bird, dizzy in my head. Spin like a record, dizzy on a Sunday night." (there is more, but I don't feel like typing it.)
Anyways, I love that song.
So, nothing new has really happened. I am now food handler's certified, even though I don't really mess with the food at daycare. But I did learn that you have to wash your hands after doing ANYTHING. Literally, anything. Scratching your face, putting your hands on a table, stuff like that. Apparently, germs are bad!!!! (And for those who don't understand me, yes, I am being sarcastic!!!) Came back last night after training and watched "Much Ado about Nothing" with Jessica and it was fun! It really was a cute movie. Better than a lot that we have watched. Plus it was a comedy, and boy, do we love comedies!!! We were cracking up. Who knew Willy Speare was funny???
Anyways, over the weekend, we had Lauren's baby shower for Baby Riley!!! It looked like pink had exploded over everything. It was soooo cute! I think the shower went well, but what do I know! I was just a hostess! :) She got lots of cute stuff: stroller, bedding, high chair, swing, bouncer, clothes (ohh so cute), wipes, diapers (we made a diaper cake and it was awesome!), bows, and all the little necessary items! Lots of stuff!!! So we packed it all up and took it back to the house and helped her unload it all. She wanted to do everything right there, but we were pooped!!! But we did put some of the bedding on and it was ADORABLE!!!!! :) Overall, it was a great weekend!!!
Well, I'm fixing to put my curtains up and see how they look! Hopefully, I can get the bar across straight!!! We shall see!!!! :) :)
Good bye for now!
