Arm Twitching and Revival

Things have been going good in the Dean household. There really isn't a lot to write about, but I would give it a try.

I've had trouble with my underarm lately. For the last week or so it has been twitching like crazy. I don't know what's going on with it. For about the past two days it has gotten worse. It even woke me up some last night and kept me awake a lot. It's doing it right now and I'm about ready to just cut my arm off.

Lance and I went to a revival service tonight at the church I went to growing up. The sermon was good and it was great seeing some old family and friends.

Well, this has been short and sweet (kinda like me..haha), but it'll have to do. :)

Weekend

Thursday night Lance and I checked out the new Chili's in Meridian. We waited about 20 minutes to get a table, which we thought was pretty good. Then when it came to getting our food.... we waited so long that we almost got up and left. We both ordered simple foods (he got a burger, I got a salad), but from the time we sat down at the table to the time we got our food, it was over an hour. The food was good, but definitely no worth waiting that long for.

Friday night we had some friends from church over for supper. It was nice... food was good (if I do say so myself...) and the fellowship was nice. It was supposed to be a "movie night" but we ended up not watching a movie. Everyone left except for two people, so the two of them (and me a little) ended playing with my Nintendo Wii. I wonder now if their arm hurt the next day. :)

Well, that's about it...nothing big to write about Saturday and Sunday. Later.

I Don't Know What to Call This...

Yeah, I know...it's already been a while since I updated. Well, you'll get over it! ;)

We had a good weekend. Lance's old college roommate got married in Oxford. We went there Saturday for the wedding and reception, which were both absolutely beautiful. We really had a good time and are glad that we were able to be there! Saturday night we stayed in Oxford. Before we left town Sunday morning, we went around the campus. Neither of us are Ole Miss fans, but we figured we'd check out the campus since we were there. Oxford really is a nice town and so was the campus.

After leaving Oxford, we headed to Tupelo to check out the Tupelo Flea Market. Lance was not impressed, but I wished I had more money to spend! After spending a little time there we headed home. When we got close to the Columbus exits on the highway, we decided to stop in Starkville and see how much the Mississippi State campus had changed and try to find alumni stickers. We went to the new Barnes and Nobles Bookstore on campus and went inside the newly rebuilt Union. Wow, it was very different!

We drove around the campus and Starkville for a while (never did find alumni stickers...the bookstore was sold out), and then headed out. Sunday night we went to my parents' house for Father's Day. My mom's family was there for a cookout (yummy) and we had to pick up Dozer. He was staying with my parents while we were gone.

Monday was our 7th wedding anniversary. We ate at Olive Garden for supper and we both ate entirely too much! It was good, but the thought of going there again makes me feel sick!

Yesterday I met Amy at the Daily Grind for lunch (super yummy) and then we did a little shopping. We ended up seeing M. Night Shyamalan's new movie The Happening. After seeing that movie, I really wonder where he comes up with his ideas! Once again, he created a very crazy movie.

As if this post isn't already random enough, I also wanted to write about how impressed I am with a florist named Sue at Winn-Dixie. Last Sunday was our time to do the flowers at church. I wanted to get something that would be easy for Lance's parents to get since we were out of town, so I thought I'd give Winn-Dixie a try. The flowers were absolutely gorgeous! They were priced MUCH lower than they would have been at a florist, so I was very impressed!

Well, that's it from me today! I'll post a picture of the Ole Miss campus, the new Union at MSU, and the flowers. Also, keep in mind that the flowers were made four days before the picture was taken.

Lazy and Loving It!

Yesterday was a busy day! I had a doctor's appointment that ended up having a 3 hour wait because the doctor had to leave twice for emergencies at the hospital. Then I rushed around town running errands and was late to my parents' house for supper. My grandma (my dad's mom) is staying with my parents for a few days, so my mom was cooking for all of us. There was one good thing about being busy though...I finally got a better night's sleep. Granted, I still tossed and turned for several hours, but I was actually able to sleep late this morning (if you call 10 o'clock late).

Today has been lazy, but productive. I hemmed a dress, cut an undershirt out of a shirt, ordered flowers, washed clothes, and listed a new item to sell on ebay. Things are looking up...

Drained

It's not even 1PM yet, and I am drained! Lance has been working on his website, and he stayed up late trying to figure something out. Well, with the sleeping problems I've been having lately, I stayed up as well. We ended up going to bed around 2:45AM, and then I tossed and turned until after 4:30. Our alarms went off before 6 this morning because Lance had an eye-doctor appointment at 8:00. We just got home about 45 minutes ago after the appointment, getting groceries, and stopping to get lunch. With all that being said, I'm spent!

Welcome to my World

So, I decided to try the whole blog thing again. Those of you that know me know that I used to have a website (click here to see the old site). With everything going on in my life, I got tired of remembering html codes and going through the hassle of uploading updates to the site. With all that being said, here I am in a much easier place. Hopefully, it won't be something for me to forget and I'll keep posting my thoughts and happenings. One thing I can promise is that everything will always been somewhat random. Yeah, I know...that would not make a very scholarly paper and the teacher in me knows better, but it's how my mind (that is ridden with ADD tendencies) works!


Now, for an update on me since my last post on my old site...

I am about to start my third year teaching third grade at Newton County Elementary School. On my last post on my old site, I had just signed a contract for this job after I had been teaching second grade for two years at Forest Elementary School.

In December 2007, I received my master's degree in Elementary Education from Mississippi State University. This is my first summer in YEARS that I have not been taking classes, so I am trying to get adjusted to that. So far, it has been an easy adjustment!

Lance and I are still happily (most of the time...haha) married. We'll have our seventh anniversary on the 16th of this month.

I have been wanting a Nintendo Wii for months. I started rolling saved change and scrapping any other spare money I could find...(Thank you State Tax Commission for letting me overpay on my taxes!...) With that being said, I finally bought one Thursday and have been playing it regularly. Hopefully, I will get a Wii Fit soon!

Well, I hope that was random enough for everyone! Hopefully, I will be back soon! :)
