Tonight's Game

Brian realized this morning that he put the wrong location for the game tonight. If you are coming, it is at the Old Roger's Stadium off of 71B/Olrich (sp). At 5:30. Also, I have a pass that gets me and a guest in free, email me if your coming and I can get at least one person in for free =) Later!

We are KIRKSEY FOOTBALL

Some updates on our football team. For those that don't know I am the defensive coordinator for our team and we are doing really well. Our record to this point is 4-1-1. I don't know how you tie but they just ended the game with a tie. It was really annoying.

Some highlights:

Upset Shilo Christian second game of the season
Our defense is giving up an average of ONLY 6.3 points per game. That is actually really good.
We are averaging almost THREE turnovers per game on defense as well.
Got a penalty for arguing with a referee! lol

I feel as though the kids are giving amazing effort and we are getting better every week. They are constantly teaching me everyday. I am truly having the time of my life. I just hope I can teach them football, but more importantly teach them to be successful young men!

Feel free to come out to any of our games if you get a chance. It is actually really funny to watch me as I'm told. I guess I get a LITTLE animated on the sideline.

We have a game at Rogers Stadium at 5:30 this week. Michelle needs a friend to sit with as well!

GO COUGARS!!!


I will post football pictures later
SPIRIT WEEK.........

Ok, so two weeks ago Kirksey had a spirit week were every day we had a dress up day!!! I kind of took it to heart and wanted to show my students how to have pride in your school. lol enjoy




MONDAY: Mis-match Day

If you notice I have a brown sock on my black shoe and a black sock with my brown shoe. You can't really tell in the picture but my tie was pink and gray. My shorts were blue and brown.






TUESDAY: Superhero Day

Introducing Capt. SUB



The cape is actually a poncho. I had the hardest time keeping it on so I used the big paper clips. Also the goggles kept sucking to my forehead and made some funny looking marks.


WEDNESDAY: Hillbilly Day




THURSDAY: Colors Day




FRIDAY WAS JERSEY DAY but I can't find my picture. I wore my beloved DENVER BRONCO jersey. It is from like 1999. It was pretty awesome.

Needless to say my kids were so excited about what I would wear each day. I even had teachers and administrators come by my room to see what I was dressed like.

It was really fun and it kind of made me feel like a kid again. I have to give props to my father-in-law because he helped me create all of of my outfits. It was funny because he would get up every morning to take pictures for me since someone didn't want to wake up early while they were on vacation. :)

I'm Loving It (and it's not Mcdonalds)

me and my mother-in-law
I've got a new gig!

During my long term sub job at Kirksey I received word that there was a part time job opening. It was reading. They gave me the choice that I could either take a friends long term sub opening which would last for a couple of months or take a part time position which would keep me at the school for the rest of the year. UMMM Easy decision! While I won't quite make as much as I would as a long term sub it eases my thoughts about not having to find work for the rest of the year.

Also, I was told this will definitely help me have a better chance of staying at Kirksey which is a school that I absolutely love if you couldn't tell.

OK, so I know we haven't posted in a while, but I promise a post this week. I have some really great news and some fun picks from spirit week at Kirksey. Life has been crazy but never better. God has been so amazing in putting me in a place of success. I am so thankful for the blessings he has given Michelle and I.

Our dog Molly is getting huge. She is as big as Moses now and growing everyday. (as well as sleeping all the time)

Michelle is ready to be home full-time (Uh-oh)

Saw the Movie Fireproof, not sure of my feelings on it yet. Overall pretty good.

Arkansas lost but did better this week as they didn't lose by 40. (just by 31)

Organized and ready to take on the week.

Have a great week and remember to
