I Sprung Forward

I must have sprung forward and forgot about my blog! Okay a quick recap...

March - Honeymoon... awesome... still working on blog entry.

April - Wowza.. what a month! Here are the highlights...

April 1 - I played a really funny/mean April Fool's joke on my class. Okay I know what you're thinking "Why on Earth would she play a mean joke on Kindergartners???" In all fairness, my little friends were pulling pranks on me all day so they totally deserved it! So here's what I did.. I sat them down and told them that today was my last day as their teacher because Mr. Casey (that's what my kiddos call him) had been transferred and we had to move. They all started looking really sad so I yelled "APRIL FOOLS!!" They cracked up and started going "AHHHH YOU GOT US!!", "MRS. PAGE!! THAT WAS A BAD JOKE!!!", and of course the few saying "I KNEW YOU WERE JOKING, I KNEW IT WASN'T A FOR REAL JOKE!"

April 2 - 1st Annual Willbern Elementary Carnival! Casey and I volunteered to help at the Chick Fil A booth (gotta be near the yummy food!) and I loved getting to see all my kiddos from last year and their parents. What a fun day! I even rode a ride with my former student and HUGS buddy Raven! Here is a pic of me and my sweet Raven:


April 8 - Casey had an interview for the supervisor training program and got it! He will be possibly interviewing for jobs in Houston, Austin, Denver, Salt Lake City, Tennessee, and Seattle so keep him in your prayers.

Amy and I also went to Opening Day at Minute Maid to see the Astros play the Mariners. Amy is such a sweet friend and is my favorite friend to watch baseball with because she's so knowledgeable. Here are some pictures!




April 9 - Melissa and Zach came through town so we had dinner at Pappasito's with them and then hung out for a while at our house. I always love hanging out with Melissa because we have so much in common. We've been great friends since high school and I love that she found such a wonderful guy to call her husband.


April 10 - Megan's Bridal Shower! I co-hosted a bridal shower for my beautiful friend Megan! She wanted a Garden Party theme so I tried to give them best garden party shower I could. It turned out sooooooooo cute and we had a blast.


April 16 - Marathon Woman! I ran my first half marathon in Bastrop, Texas. What an amazing experience. Originally I was supposed to run it with my friend Jennifer, but she had to cancel at the last minute. I was really really scared to do this by myself, but I just made a goal of finishing in 3 hours 30 minutes (the max) so that I could say "YES I HAVE finished a half marathon!" instead of "One time I attempted a half marathon.. it was awful". Well boy did I surprise myself! I didn't train nearly as much as I wanted to, so when I got to the race I had really only ran 5 miles straight.. no more. When the race started I just went! I RAN the first 10 miles! No walking! I was so proud of myself! The last 3.1 were a different story. I hurt SO bad! I walked most of the last 3 which is why my time wasn't as good as it could have been. I finished in 2h49m which is almost an hour faster that I had hoped for - whoo hoo! Here are my results if you want to see.. and here is a picture!
I would definitely recommend doing the Zooma race to any women especially if you want to have a fun girls' weekend! I can't wait to do it next year!

April 19 - HAIRCUT! I have been waiting 5 years to cut my hair short and I finally did it! Here is my new look...


April 22 - Riley's Birthday & Megan and Todd get married! For those of you who don't know, April 22nd is our beloved Riley's birthday and he turned 6 this year! Oh how time flies.. I miss our sweet little baby puppy, but he is such a great dog and always makes us laugh. On Saturday my dad, Casey, and I took Riley & Zac to Petsmart so Riley could pick out some toys and see the "hammies" (hamsters, fish, guinea pigs, birds.. anything in a small cage or tank). He is obsessed...


Friday evening Adriane and I went to our beautiful former coworker Megan's wedding. It was the sweetest little country wedding with a few personalized touches during the ceremony. It was great to see Meg so happy. Here are some pics.




April 24th - Easter! My dad came in town to spend Easter weekend with us and it was a very nice relaxing weekend.

We dyed eggs ...


Went to church....


and hung out with the family...

We also got some fun surprises from the "Easter bunny", but more on that later. Hopefully I won't forget about my little blog anymore!
