I just wanted to thank all of you for the kind words and all of the prayer. Mr. Joe was an amazing man, I am thankful I was able to meet him if only for a short time. The family is doing well under the circumstances WAY better then I would ever be if I lost my husband or father. Marvin is busy learning how to run a business, but I think it's good for him to keep busy. He has not missed a day of work yet because that is what his dad would want. Mr. Joe lives on through Marvin. Marvin just said he has big shoes to fill.
I don't think we need anything for those of you who have asked. We have plenty of food thanks to the family friends and Jim and crew took care of the lawn. Things have been put on hold for awhile, the renovations at the new house, wedding planning, etc. but I think it is good to take a step back from the busyness and be with family. The viewing is tonight from 7-9 at the Stallings Funeral Home in Pasadena and the funeral is tomorrow at 10am. Thanks again for all the support, both Marvin and I are thankful for our friends :)

SPRING BREAK!!!
I am off until next tuesday, April 14th. This is one thing I love about being a teacher :) When we go back to school on tuesday there is only about 7 weeks left until we are out for summer. This year flew by!
I have a very busy week scheduled. Today was dedicated to cleaning, laundry and I finished stamping the wedding invitations. Tomorrow I have a dentist appt and I am meeting my mom, marvin's mom, and marvin's sister in-law to complete the invitations. This has definately been the biggest obstacle of the wedding planning and I will be so glad when it is over. I think my mom and I put together a beautiful invitation! Wednesday, I am having lunch with my college roommate Rachel and working a softball game at my school for extra money. Thursday the electric at the new house is being turned on so I have to be there between 8 and 12 AND our new washer and dryer are being delivered. I am going to do some yard work at the new house and hopefully my parents and marvin's mom will be able to come help out. Please feel free to come lend a hand, or just come by and see the house! I am not sure what I am getting into friday. Either more house stuff, or my mom said I have to make getting my wedding shoes a priority so I can get my dress altered.
I love the sunny weather! I have my windows open and it is so nice outside. I can't wait for it to be warm everyday!

#13 DONE
My friend Casey emailed me today and asked if I wanted to go to the Laundromat with her. I immediately thought of my 101 list! I thought of all the laundry I had to do and decided I would do a load at the laundromat. I am glad this is over and done with and I will probably never go to another laundromat unless I am forced to. It is EXPENSIVE!!! Over $5 to wash, although I think it was a 4 load washer and it is 25 cents to dry for 4 minutes! I think I dried the load for 24 mins, or $1.50. The weird guy there swears it is cheaper than doing laundry at home, I am not too sure about that.
My 6th period tried to pull an April Fool's prank on me. The only thing is I knew about it. They were going to wait for me to leave the classroom (thing is I don't leave during the period) and they were going to run up to Mr. Cunningham's room so when I returned everyone was gone. It would have been pretty clever if Mr. Cunningham hadn't heard about it and told me. So of course I convienently left the room to "make copies" as soon as they started their work. I could hear them giggling leaving the room as I walked down the hallway. Little did they know the vice principal was waiting upstairs for them to give them all cut slips. Joke was on them :) I thought it was cute and at least they tried.
Spring break is only 2 days away. I have off from April 4th until April 14th. I am so excited!!! When we get back to school I only have 7 and a 1/2 weeks left before I am done for the summer. This year has flown by. I have been so busy!
We finally settled on our house yesterday. It was cancelled friday, then cancelled again monday. Settlement was suppose to begin at 11am, but it didn't start until after 5pm. Marvin was pissed. He spent the day in his car waiting to hear back from the title company. Thank god I wasn't there I probably would have killed someone. I think I may have an anger management problem :) But, after all the headache, we own the home. The realtor is our neighbor and said it is a fabulous neighborhood. She has been there for 52 years and has raised her kids and now her grandkids there. She also said we got an incredible deal. Now comes the renovations. We are hoping to be by June. My coworker is going to move into our condo in Calvert County in July. We got lucky :)
