So I promised two posts this last week to Karlie. I know that I waited until the last moment, but at least I'm doing it! :)
So this last week I had to go to BlockBuster to pick up a movie for the 8th grade to watch. While I was there, I saw that they were having a sale on Wii games so I thought I would be a good wife and buy my husband a game. I was picking through, and there wasn't much there, so I bought a random football game. I was worried that Mike wouldn't really like it, but I bought it anyways.
Turns out that this game is an NCAA game from 2 seasons back. It has you pick a team, and go through their season. Naturally, Mike picked the Cougs. He has been playing NON-STOP! Sometimes I feel like we are actually watching the Cougars by how into it Mike and I get!
Mike started doing the season a 2nd time (yes, a 2nd time!), and he picked his non-conference games to be teams ranked in the top 5. He is currently playing #1 Ohio State, and it is neck and neck! He is stressing himself out!
Other than that, life is going well! I made it through the state testing for math. Now I have to wait until July to see how my students did. I'm amazed at the pressure that is put on the teachers out here! I guess that it makes me work harder!

Karlie Says I Have To...
So Karlie is bothering me to post more, so here it is!
I am training to do a half-marathon in June. Here is the training schedule (the date given is the week that you need to do the miles written):
3 3 3 March 29
3 3 4 April 5
3 4 5 April 12
3 4 6 April 19
4 4 7 April 26
4 5 8 May 3
4 5 9 May 10
5 5 10 May 17
5 5 11 May 24
5 3 (walk) 13.1 May 31
The run is on June 5th. I hope I can make it!
Also, I had a funny story happen today in class. I am not going to use his name, but it is important to know that this student has been known to do drugs, so he is always acting kind of strange. Also, he is very into religion and the bible, so I constantly have to ask him to keep the religion out of the classroom!
On Mondays, I usually let my students tell about their weekends. Well, whenever this student raises his hand, I always am nervous as to what he is going to say. He raised his hand and I called on him. He then, with a huge grin states, "My dog ate chocolate. Then, my Dad and I gave it peroxide to get it to throw up. His name is Chester and I blessed him"
The whole class started busting up laughing!
Anyways, I thought I'd share that for Karlie!

Easter Sunday
Yes these eggs are beautiful, no compliment necessary!
So I told Mike that I wanted to decorate eggs this year. I thought he wouldn't want to. However, yesterday he boiled the eggs, got the dyes ready, and started dying the eggs before I even realized what he was doing. He is so awesome!
HAPPY EASTER! :)
