A recap on the past decade...

I cannot believe that is already 2010. I graduated from high school 10 years ago! So much has changed--

2004- I turned 22.
Jordenne was born on March 28th. I fell in love instantly!
I did my student teaching at Clack Middle School under Jodi Jacques. She was amazing. I fell in love with teaching sixth grade.
I graduated from ACU. My entire family was there. My dad escorted me through graduation. It was a great experience. Tony was so proud of me--I will never forget him yelling so loudly for me.

2005- I turned 23.
I took over for teacher in Sweetwater for the second semester. I taught fifth grade self contained. I knew after that semester that I would NEVER teach a self-contained class ever again.

2007- I turned 25. I was due on August 5th.
I had a not-so-fun pregnancy. I was sick for the first 28 weeks and then off and on until I delievered.
I had a few minor complications in May with the pregnancy. I looked like a whale. People kept assuming I only had a couple of weeks left; I had to correct them that it was 3 months!
My cutie-pie niece, Elliott Kate, was born on May 11th.
I had more problems in June with headaches, blood pressure, etc.
I went to the doctor on July 10th and she told me that she was sending me over to deliver my baby the next day. Wow!
One of the BEST days of my life was July 11th when I gave birth to my precious Malachi Lavon Cunningham!
Five days later I was in Harris Hospital in ICU with congestive heart failure. (I'll do a whole post on that one day!)
God was SO good and healed me completely by August.
I moved to an elementary school to teach fifth grade.
Isaak moved to Cleburne with the rest of us and started kindergarten.

My pretty little niece, Beckett Chelsea, was born.

My first time to be at the same school two years in a row! Yea for not having to pack up and move!
