Chad and I got married October 2, 2010. We love being married and starting this new journey together. We are in Starkville, MS where Chad is a Youth Minister and I am a second grade teacher. We love to excercise, watch movies, and eat Mexican food! We are always on the go and absolutely LOVE to travel! We are so excited about our upcoming trips that we have planned. Life is crazy and we stay busy, but we love every second of it and hope you enjoy our journey of "Year 1" with us!

Countdown to Charleston!

Unlocked by Karen Kingsbury

I absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to read and always have a list of books that I want.  My FAVORITE authors are: Nicholas Sparks, Mary Kay Andrews, and Karen Kingsbury.  Any book by those three authors are ALWAYS amazing! 

Well, the book I read this weekend was Unlocked by Karen Kingsbury.  I always love anything she writes, but this book was just awesome.  I think EVERY teacher should read it, and really, any person in general should read it!  It is a story of looking past someone's appearance and really knowing and understanding what is in their heart.  It talks of taking the time to speak to people outside of your "click" and how a smile just might make a person's day or be encouraging to that person when he or she is going through a hard time that noone else may know or understand about.  The book talked of how everyone struggles with something and has their own song if we allow them to "unlock" it and set it free.  This book is a MUST READ and you should go get it this week!!  It was so inspirational!  After you read that and immediately want another KK book, you should get Leaving.  If you can't find them in Starkville and want to start reading them right away, let me know and I will let you borrow mine.  Either way, you MUST read it! :)
