Well I didn't plan on writing anything today, but my school is on lock down so I have a little time. (We are on lock down for drug testing.)
This Saturday I got married to a wonderful man. The wedding was sweet and simply.
It
was
perfect!!
We went to the local JP and he performed a beautiful ceremony. JR messed up a few times during the ceremony (ie instead of saying abiding love he said inviting love) but it was sweet. JR also danced and swayed the whole time. I was so nervous I felt like I was shaking. Lexi and Zoe held our rings and gave them to us when the time was right. They were so cute and they were also so good. Not a peep from them and they stayed perfectly still. Such good girls!! JR also could not get my ring to go on, so I had to help him. His ring, of course, went on smoothly. :-) I guess the best part of the ceremony was the Judge keep saying Ralph (JR first name) and I keep thinking; Who the heck is Ralph? I also heard Nicole snicker once or twice.
I was upset before the wedding started. The JP was twenty minutes late and I was so close to crying it wasn't even funny. My sister and JR both asked the police if they knew where he was and they were of course no help. It turns out he was late because of them but they could not tell us that. That would of been helpful. The JP took a few pictures and gave us a pretty picture to keep and of course Nicole and Mom took some great shots.
We then went home and changed cloths and got ready for the wedding reception. My sister and mother did an AMAZING JOB!!! It was beautiful and I could not of asked for more. The cake was delicious and beautiful and the set up was perfect. My mom's friend from work let her borrow her silver catering set, which made for a beautiful place setting. And Nicole cooked everything and everything was yummy. It was great and I was totally surprised and please. Thank you again Mom and Nicole for making a beautiful and memorable wedding reception. I love you guys so much!!!
We stayed for awhile and then went to our hotel for a short honeymoon. Thanks again Mom and Nicole for babysitting. It was a great weekend and I am such a happy woman. I also think that JR is happier as well. He seemed so relaxed and at peace since we have been married. He is so cute with the ring too. He puts it on right when he wakes up in the morning and he proudly displays it to all. I love him so much.
Well, that is about it. I wish all could of come but I understand. Thank you again Nicole and Mom and I wish Dustin and family could of been there. Thanks for your love and blessings as well.
Love to all.

Crazy Butt Week
Okay, sorry long time no blog. I started back to work two weeks ago and life has been crazy. Getting my classroom ready, finding all of my old supplies, trying not kill new students, and so on. JR has been great, very supportive. Moving me and taking care of the small and big stuff.
Two girls and two different soccer schedule, working a forty hour a week job plus teaching three college classes (dual, online, and at the Vernon campus), trying to move, and oh yeah trying to be a mother and soon to be wife. If you can't tell, I am a little bit tired.
On a different note, it looks like I might get a care in the next few days. It is a four door, Chevy Malibu 2001. I really hope that this deal goes through because I could use something better and more reliable. Please pray or send out good thoughts.
JR and I will get married on September 5th by the JP, but we will have a ceremony celebrating our love with family and friends in March. It just feels right to get married on this day but I don't want to take away the magic of a wedding from JR. He says he does not care, but I know that is a lie. I am nervous and scared but I know this is were I am suppose to be. I love him so much and he is the sweetest man I know. He loves me and takes care of me and Zoe so well. I could not ask for more.
Well, I am off to spend some time with Zoe. She wants me to watch a movie with her and be with her. She has told me quite often this week she does not like me working again. She never ever gets to see me. So I am off to be a Mommy.
I love you all and I wish you a great weekend.

I'm Engaged
So here is how it happened. JR and I went to Abilene to pick up Zoe and to also have a short five day vacation with family. Things went crazy that weekend, that is for another blog, but overall it was a great vacation.
On August 4th, we went to the Abilene Zoo. It was a cool 100 degrees and the kids were in a great mood. (I'm hot, I'm thirsty, I'm tired) But we ventured on, because after all who doesn't like the Zoo. :-)
Well, we got in front of the Black Rhino area and JR stopped me, the kids and Nicole went on, in fact I think I heard my sister yell at Jack to come when he called me. JR grabbed my hand and looked into my eyes.
He said: Sarah, in front of the same place that where your Dad asked your Mom I want you to be my everything. (Getting down on one knee and tears welling in my eyes) Sarah will you marry me?
And of course I said YES!!!! And we kissed and he picked me up in a big hug. It was awesome and it made me so happy. At that point, Nicole and all the kids started cheering because they of course knew. Everyone knew but me. He did a good job and I could not of asked for a better way for him to ask.
The back story to him asking me in front of the Rhinos, is that that used to be the Elephant Area. My father, almost forty years ago, asked my Mother to marry him in front of the Elephants and JR knew that. Isn't that perfect!
We don't have a date yet but I will let you know as soon as we have decided something. I really am happy and very much in love. JR is a blessing to my life.

Okay so here it is 3:00 am and I am wide awake. You ask Why? I really don't know. I have laid in bed for over an hour and just kind of layed there. I couldn't fall asleep.
Could it be that I am worried about Zoe with her father?
Could it be that I am worried about being a good step-mom to Lexi?
Could it be that I am worried that JR will never ask me to marry him?
Could it be that I still don't have any friends in Wichita Falls?
Could it be that I don't like staying home and not working?
Could it be that I don't know what to do with myself?
And on top of it all, I am angry at myself for questioning these things and not just relaxing and letting life happen?
My friend Jay tells me all the time re-effing-lax. He says I am one of the most tense people he knows and that I need to relax and let life happen.
Zoe will always have to go with her father.
I will eventually find my stride with Lexi and we will be fine.
JR loves me with all his heart and is going to ask. (I hope :-))
I will make new friends.
Work will start in a few weeks and I will bitch about not having any free time.
And I will figure myself out as time goes by.
And I need to stop being so angry.
I hate feeling out of control and that is my main problem. I have no control over certain things right now and it is so hard to deal with that. ARGHHHHHH!!!!
Life is not bad, in fact it is good...I just want better and that makes me feel guilty.
I know, I know...re-effing-lax. Sigh...why can't I?
Well, I guess I will lay down again and try to go to sleep. Love to all and I hope you are relaxing.

Freckles
So last night I spent a good hour counting freckles on the girls. Of course they only have three apiece but they wanted me to keep counting because Momma has a lot and they only have three, :-(. We had to look at every bump, bruise and spot on them just to make sure. Also, I told them that they are Angel kisses and of course who doesn't want to have Angel kisses on their body? Little kids are so funny sometimes. They made me smile a lot last night.
I spending as much time as I can with the girls right now. Lexi and Zoe are about to start school and so am I (teaching that is). I swear when school is going on, I barely have enough time for them, JR, or even myself. This summer has gone by so fast and I really don't feel like I have spent enough time with either of them. And I am about to leave again on Wednesday to take Zoe back to her Dad for another two weeks. It just stinks and I miss my girl so much. Oh well, I guess that is part of being a divorced parent.
Well, I gotta go swimming again. I know you are jealous. I love all and I hope I get some more readers soon.

Hello everyone:
I just started my blog today because my sister made me. And, if you know my sister you know that I am telling the truth. I am really excited and I am going to try and be a good blogger. I won't promise everyday but hopefully every week. I love everyone reading this (unless you are some weird0) and I hope that everyone is having a great summer so far.
Best to all,
Bear
