Okay Paul, I do go to Walmart way too much!  The truth be told, I probably go to walmart more times a week than I should.  I honestly like that store a lot!  If there was a Target in Scottsburg, I would enjoy that more, but with gas prices the way they are, I think I will drive 2 miles compared to 20 for a Target. 

I started working in my classroom on Sunday.  I want to make it drab to rad!  I love all the little cutsy stuff that I couldn't put in my fifth grade class last year.  I got the cutest little poster of a chair with a dog reading in it.  I am sure you are all dying to see pictures of it (I know I am probably the only one who cares!) so maybe I will try to post some.  I can't wait for Jason to get out of school for him to help me hang to stuff that I need an extra hand with.  He is so good to do whatever I ask when I need help.  Bless his heart, he will hang something twenty times to get it just right for me! 

When Jason gets done with school for the summer we are going to register for all that cool wedding stuff.  I have looked forward to this my entire life!  I can't believe it is here.  I have got lists to make this as painless as possible for  Jason.  Too bad we can't register at a fish store Jason! 

     The 4th of July is one of my favorite holidays!  We have family come over and play water balloon volleyball.  It is a blast!  I hope everyone is having a great summer!  Happy 4th of July!

Wow!  This week has been so fun for me!  This has been my view from my window!  The beautiful beach of Hawaii!!! 

Okay, Wake up Janaea!  Even though I am not at the beach, Scottsburg has been really good.  I have got to sleep in til 9:00 am, and eat a bowl of cheerios in my PJs every morning.  I absolutely love it that I do not have to rush in the mornings.  Yesterday, Kim and I were queens for the day!  We got a pedicure, manicure, facial and a full body massage!  It was wonderful.  Every girl must get that done once a year!!!  We were made complete with crowns and sashes!  I am trying to attach a pic! 

That night, I tried to help (more like WATCH) Jason put down tile flooring in his grandma's house.  He did a really good job.  I can't wait to have a house someday with him!  The man can fix up anything, and he looks really cute doing it too!  What an added bonus for me!  :) 

Who is your favorite idol contestant?  Mine....Brooke White.  I love her voice and her style.  However, Michael blew me away.  I loved his performance!  They sang songs from their birth year.  So my question is this, what song would you sing from your birth year?  Google the top songs in your birth year and let me know!  Mine would be  "Crazy for you" by none other than Madonna! 

Hope your week is full of blessings!  Janaea 

Xangsters,

I have had a really good weekend.  It started Thursday, that is right, Thursday.  At school, they paged all of us saying that they were closing school early due to the inclement weather.  While I was excited at the chance for an afternoon nap, I was working so hard for one hour making sure all my kiddos got home safely.  If you know me, you know how much I freak out about things like this.  I really wanted to scream.  All that responsibility and pressure makes me twinge sometimes.  !!  The more seasoned teachers ( I like to say that than saying older, so one day hopefully someone will say I am seasoned and not an older teacher :)  were very calm and relaxed.  They probably wanted to put me on medicine...

My brother Jordan had Senior night Saturday.  We got all of his pictures together for a ceremony.    I am so mushy, I got teary eyed thinking about him and all the other guys that make up his basketball team.  Even though I don't know all of them personally, I got teary eyed at the thought that they are old enough to graduate and move on to the next phase in life.  I am so proud of Jordan.  Even though he is so kind to make the nickname for me"thunder thighs"  he can really be supportive and a great bro.  He totally helps my self esteem! 

Jason and I are trying to think of different ideas for our wedding.  I find myself dreaming about ways we could decorate and I blab them to him.  Sometimes he has opinions, then I know other times, he just wants to get off the phone and stop talking about it!  :)  Joking aside, I love that guy so much!  He is so honest and real and lets me be the same, I really couldnt ask for or want for anything more.  I beat him up with a twizzler last night.  Girls, the work wonders when you flip them really hard, try it! 

Have a great week!  I would like one more snow day..... :)    Maybe we will get it this week!
