class connection...

We have been talking about Thanksgiving traditions this week & had our "Thanksgiving Feast" on Wednesday. It was a lot of work but, really entertaining at the same time. I have some very outgoing children & the pictures are too funny. I had to share.

He really is the best :)

I found my card in the refrigerator-- He thought it would be funny because I always come right in to get a diet coke!

I hope everyone has a great rest of the week :)

movin on up....

I found out yesterday that I am no longer simply a highly qualified, certified, long-term substitute... But, I am now an official Kindergarten Teacher employed by Autauga County Board of Education!! After working my way up with jobs for almost a year, I am thrilled to finally have a classroom to call my very own! I am so blessed to work in a truly AWESOME school & am so thankful every single day to work under wonderful administrators & alongside amazing co-workers. As soon as I got the GREAT news & accepted the position, I had some adorable presents made & wrapped up cute for me to open :)
This is what was given to me to put outside my door

 

along with a huge matching hand sanitizer bottle for my desk & clipboard! -- all labeled Ms. Petty & painted in Auburn colors.. which of course, was perfect! 

Could not ask to work with better people =)

baby steps...

A few weekends ago, Stephen and I were so lucky to have a close friend offer to take our engagement pictures. She was very enthusiastic about it & was of course very easy to work with! She spent all day Saturday & Sunday in Auburn with us so we are SO thankful. We are also glad she did because they turned out perfect! Brittany has always been artistic and is very talented behind the camera! The weather was perfect that weekend (aside the wind blowing my hair all over the place) Here are only a few of many favorites:
