Gig 'Em

Class of '07, '10 and '14!!!!


In 2003 I began my first year at Texas A&M. I'm a first generation Aggie; my parents went to college in Louisiana. Three years later by brother started there! Now, in the fall of 2010, my sister will begin her freshman year at TAMU!! I'm so excited (and a little bit proud, I must admit) that I started this tradition! A&M builds such a committment to high integrity and sportsmanship. Aggies do not lie, cheat or steal, or tolerate those who do. Those are words that we live by. Plus, we stick together like none other. It's incredible to walk through PetSmart, or the lawn of the Eiffel Tower, and spot another Aggie ring. It's an immediate connection and you just start chatting it up! "Hi, I'm Kacie...Class of '07." Not to mention, it's how Ross and I both got our jobs! It sure pays off!! Anyway, here's our first picture at Kyle Field with all 3 Aggie classes!!!

How I love thee

A- Pink is by far my favorite color.
B- Sharpies rock my world. As a teacher I use the 24/7.
C- I support all things "Breast Cancer Pink" for several reasons...My grandmother and aunt.

So, all that being said, these are my new favorite purchase. I got mine at Target (of course) for $1.19 for a 2 pack!

Babymaker

Ross is so cute! He's so excited about trying for a baby!! He keeps calling me his little babymaker :)

He continues to walk around singing and whisteling...so happy!!

It is really cute and sweet....

Now for my complaints....I am on prenatal vitamins that make me nauseous and shaky. Boo. They also taste awful and you keep on tasting them all day. Plus, I have had a headache since I got off the pill. Oh well! I will gladly take it if it means I will have a baby!!! That's it for now! I do not think that we have ever been happier as a couple!

Officially TRYING!!!

I can not even explain how excited I am about this post! I have wanted a baby since I was a baby! I have wanted to be a mom since I could say the word! Ross has known this since we started dating and this weekend he told me that he was ready!!! About a month ago, Ross told me that he had been seriously thinking about wanting to have a baby. He said that he would begin praying about it and let me know....Well, last night he told me that I can stop taking my pills...that he is ready!!! He always has told me that he wanted to be a dad, but was worried about the logistics of it all...money, stability, economy...Last night he said that he had prayed about it and decided that we should just go for it! So that means that Ross and I have officially begun to try! I could not be more happy!! Today was my first day of prenatal vitamins (which I have had on standby for months) and I spent the day nauseous and shaky. This is what the doctor told me would happen. She gave me a bag of samples to try and told me to stop as soon as I found one that didn't make me sick. I guess I should give this one a few days and then try the others. I am so, so, so happy and cannot wait to me a mom!! My family is pretty excited too! For the last year or so, my brother has told me "PMMAU(Please make me an uncle)" and last night I got to call him and tell him that we were working on it! He was pumped! He's more than fantastic with kids and has sent me a camo onesie last year for our future children....and of course it was labeled with PMMAU. My sister will be the greatest aunt in the entire world as well. I had to hold my phone away from my ear when I told her the news. It will be so neat to see them interact with our kids when we have them, whenever that may be. For now we are just seeing how things go!! What an exciting time for us! YEAHHHH!!!!!!!!

Pray for patience

This has been the hardest week of school for me ever. I have students that don't understand very much English at all. I have students who are grade levels behind. I have never taught science before and these particular sub-populations were our lowest last year....ESL/Science! This means that I am under great stress. I want my babies to succeed....I so, so want them to be successful but I don't know how to help them. I am having to go back so far in 4th grade curriculum because I have to fill in learning gaps. If I do this, I get behind on the TEKS...thus more stress. I ended the week by crying my eyes out. I keep on telling myself, God will not give me more than I can handle....God will not give me more than I can handle....God will not give me more than I can handle....over and over and over.....I need patience...I need a kind of patience that only the Lord can provide. I need the kind of patience for these kids as my heavenly father has for me. I need guidance from the Lord to know how to teach these precious babies. I also need confidence that I will be able to do it. Last year was a breeze, and now I am realizing that. Please pray that I will have great patience and guidance.

2 Dreamy Wonderful Fun Easy Years

As of today, I have been married to my best friends for 2 years! It has been wonderful! People say that the first years are hard...I totally disagree! It has been so easy....easier than dating! We don't have to drive back and forth to see each other, we can spend the night together every single night :) we don't have to use up excessive amounts of cell phone minutes to talk to each other, we don't have to worry about roommates or drama, we can lay in bed at night and laugh for hours....it is just so easy! It surely doesn't feel like it has been 2 years since we have been married! God's design for marriage is so sweet, so good, so well planned...it's perfect!

Quilt top is D-O-N-E

I'm so happy with how it turned out! Not so shabby for my first quilt! Now...attach filler and backing....quilt it...add binding....hmmmmm
