Haircuts, primaries and tests... OH MY!

Last week Jolene and I went to get our hair done. I got a cut and some highlights and Jolene got her first haircut. You can't really tell a difference on hers because I just had the ends trimmed up, but the back doesn't look as stringy as it did before. Here are some pics

My hair BEFORE



My hair AFTER (if only I could get it to look like that every day)


Here is Jolene getting hers cut




Tuesday were our presidential primaries, so we went and voted. Everyone loved Jolene, of course. Bet you can't tell who had our vote?








And a video



Jolene has asked to wear her Ron Paul shirt every day this week. I have my first test this week. It is in family law. Hopefully I do well. I also scheduled an appointment to take my first midterm for my environmental science class on February 13th.

Along with a friend of mine, I have been put in charge of building up the children's program at our church. I've been doing some brainstorming and have a lot of great ideas. We are talking tot he pastor this Sunday and hopefully we can put a plan into action. I have high hopes for not only the children's program, but our church as whole, which is starting many new programs in the near future.

Anyways, that is about all for now. Here are some more pictures of random cuteness. Enjoy!

Happy Monday!

Well, my first week of classes went well. I already got my grade back for one of my assignments in my environmental science class. I got a 110 out of 100! I guess that means he liked my answers! I haven't received any of my other grades yet, but based on the teachers' responses, they were pleased with the entire class' work.

Here are some pictures. This is Tucker yesterday while we were hanging out in the nursery at church during the traditional service (we go to the contemporary service)

After the traditional service got out, there was a pot luck. Here is Jolene going to town on her watermelon.

And here is a picture of the door to their room. I finished painting their letters and got them put up. Tuckers are blue with yellow bee stamps and Jo's are purple with green bee stamps.

And for your viewing pleasure, here is a video.

Welcome!

Hello friends and family! I wanted a way to keep you all updated on what is going on with us so I created this blog.

My spring semester started this week. I am taking Sociology, Environmental Science, Infant and Toddler Development and Family Law. Three classes started this week, but my sociology class starts mid-February. So far everything is off to a pretty good start. Jolene started daycare two weeks ago. She goes three days a week for three hours which gives me enough time to get my schoolwork done. A friend of mine from my moms club is trying to start her own in home daycare, so I'm sending her there. She has a three year old and a one year old and Jolene loves to go, which is a huge relief because in Gainesville she was a total wreck. Tucker is doing great. He is almost two and a half months old now and is such a sweet smiley baby. For a while I thought he was going to be cranky and fussy forever, but thankfully he seems to have turned a corner. If you stick your tongue out at him, he will stick his back out at you. It's his favorite game.
