Wow, finally a day off! I have been working nonstop since Christmas break ended. Don't get me wrong, I love the work. But I am a substitute because I don't want to be a full time teacher. Anyways, today and tomorrow I have off and I plan on making the most of them. Micah had to fly early this morning and on his way out the door he informed me that he is out of socks and on his last pair of boxers, :(. I am behind like never before! So today is full of errands, grocery shopping, LAUNDRY, cleaning and my most favorite subject....homework. I have a new found respect for working moms. I don't know how they do it. I don't have any kids, all I have to worry about is myself and Micah. But I feel like I drop many balls during the week when I am working every day. So to all you working moms out there, I salute you. So this post is short because of the LONG list of things for me to do today, but Micah and I are off to Germany next week for a snowboarding trip so there will be posts and pictures to come!

Our Weekend Away

So here are some pictures of Me and Micah in Cornwall this weekend. We stayed in a fantastic hotel in Newquay and on Sunday we ventured out to Penzance and Land's End. Penzance was such a pretty seaside town. Since we were there in the off season there wasn't much open but we really enjoyed exploring the tide pools and walking through the village.

Micah thought this door was so hilarious!! So many of the doors were shorter than him, we obviously couldn't live there:).

After Penzance we ventured to Land's End. I thought this town would have a little more than it did. It ended up being just a little Touristy. The ocean was beautiful though and we got some good pics.These last two pictures are from Newquay. This was my favorite place we visited. It had some amazing waves which is perfect since it is a surfing town. All year long people surf there. We even watched some surfers out in the ocean. I didn't get any pictures of the surfers though. So here are my favorite two pics we took there.

Much Needed Getaway:)

I love long weekends!! Micah and I both have Monday off so we decided this week that we needed to get away from everything for a few days. We are headed to Cornwall, about 5 1/2 hours away for a couple of days. Cornwall is on the coast with cliffs all around. The town we are going to is known for its surfing because of it amazing beach and waves. We plan on doing nothing but going to castles, aquariums and the spa:) We rarely get away together just the two of us so we are both looking so very forward to it. Micah found us an AMAZING hotel on priceline for the weekend so we are going to be pampered. It sits on top of a cliff and looks out over the ocean. I am bringing the camera, I will not forget it, so come Tuesday I hope to share some pics with you all from our weekend.

First Post of 2010!!

Well, the reason there have been no blogs lately is because I have been swamped. You would not believe how busy my life has gotten. I went from absolutely nothing going on in my life to having absolutely EVERYTHING! I started substitute teaching back in November and I pretty much haven't stopped. In addition to substituting I also have my master's program I have been working on. That has turned out to be even more demanding than I thought it would. And then throw in everything else of just the day to day and life just gets too busy. But to be honest with you all, I wouldn't have it any other way. I love working and feeling like I am offering something to the world. It has been so rewarding getting back into the classroom. I have started my third class for my masters program and it is going pretty well. It is pretty demanding but I feel like I am learning new things every week so that is nice.

Micah is still busy at work. Truthfully the month of December he didn't go to work that much at all. It seemed like he went a couple of weeks without ever working a full work week. Since he had so much time off we were able to go to Edinburgh in Scotland for the New Year. I would like to show you pictures but we didn't really take any that were blog worthy. We are big New Year's celebrators but it was amazing being there for the weekend. It snowed the entire time we were there. It was very weird because Edinburgh NEVER gets snow and we got dumped on. It seemed like a winter wonderland. It was funny, because I never really wanted to go to Scotland but now that we have visited I can't wait to go back:) So if anyone wants to come visit I will be up for a trip to Scotland, hint hint.
