THE SCHOOL YARD SALE

Brian and I have been packing and moving for a while now, umm since March... In all of our cleaning out we had developed quite the junk pile (it took over the garage).  So it's no surprise that when the Bunker Hill Elementary School's annual PTA yard sale came around we were EXCITED! We had a ton of stuff to get rid off and were ready to go! Debbie and Dave (Brian's parents) came up to help us! Seeing how neither of us had any yard sale experience we had the bargain site... people jut couldn't believe our prices... and we couldn't believe anyone would pay ANYTHING for our old stuff. The people watching was also entertaining. We set up long side the "other Mrs. Williams" (one of my teacher friends) and together we sold, sold and sold. Our favorite part of the whole event was our view!!! 

This was the view...  this lady was set up across from us!  She was so funny every time we looked over she had less clothing on! 

Some teacher friends working hard! The one in the black shirt is a Mrs. Williams too!

Brian looking good!

Me & Miss Becca Grace being silly!

Dave and Debbie supervising! We always have a great time with them!

Secretary of Education at Bunker Hill

Yesterday I was able to sit on a panel of 6 teachers and 3 parents and talk to the Secretary of education Arne Duncan. Now this isn't the state secretary of Ed... it is the BIG GUY!!!!  It was great to voice my opinions, and we all know i have plenty of them,  on what is working and what is so not! I hope what we had to say will help Arne make some much needed changes!!!! He is on a tour of 15 states so he may be coming to your state next! 

BABY...... FINN HAWLEY

We have a new nephew!  My brother, Morgan and his wife Val had their baby. He is such a cutie  and look at all of his HAIR!  He was born May 4th! They named him Finn.  Brian and I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE HIM!!! 

Air Show

Brian and I went to Langley Air Force base when we were down in Williamsburg a couple of weeks ago! Let me just say I'm a pretty GREAT wife because I had a fever and was way sick... but went on These adventures anyway.  Dave is retired from the air force... so he has lots of perks perks... and can get us on base. I think he was pretty important and ranked high but I am not and rank expert. All i know is that they salute him when they look at his military ID and that impresses me! Anyway, It was my first air show and I was amazed by how much power the thunder birds have. I kept asking questions trying to figure out how the air show demonstration was like TOP GUN only to find out Top Gun was about the Navy and not the air force. It was disappointing info but I got over it. Brian LOVED watching all of the planes and has already started planing our trip to next years show.

BETH!

Beth was in D.C. for a math conference and I drove to see her. We went on a night tour of the monuments... mostly I talked her ear off!!!  It was so fun to see a familiar face and catch up! I wish we could have spent a couple of days together! She is as cute as ever! I miss all of you pony girls!

Fun in Charlotte!!!

I am soooooo excited to be moving to Charlotte.. there are a million reasons why I think I will love this move! I will spare you all million! Two weeks ago when I was down visiting Brian we did a few of my favorite things...one being shopping... I will be minutes from a mall... the second being going to a sporting event.. this may be a surprise but after growing up going to Dodger games i really developed a love for going to games.... now don't even think about making me watch it on t.v. BORING!!! Anyway, we got to go to one of the many Charlotte teams games... We went to the Bobcats vs Pacers game.. We had a great time!!! Also one of the cheerleaders had the best hair ever!!! I even thought of asking her about what products she uses.. I should have snapped a pic of her..... next game!

MOVING!!!!

Brian got an offer to go to Charlotte, North Carolina!!! His company wants him there in 2 weeks  let me say that again TWO WEEKS on Feb. 16th.... we have so much to do between now and then!!!! We are so excited and we are packing and packing! I am going to stay up here and finish out the school year then head down in June!  I think we are about to re-live the weekend visits and teary goodbyes of our cross country dating!
