Brian's getting old!

Well tomorrow my wonderful husband turns 28! He has never really liked his birthday because it comes at a weird time of year when everyone is broke and tired from Christmas. I gave him his present from me tonight. He got a brand new golf bag and gets to use it this weekend to play golf with Blake. I was so excited about this present because it was going to be the first time I actually surprised him with a gift. That was until I ruined the surprise. You see, while we were on vacation Brian kept up with all of our receipts. While we were on the plane flight home I was cleaning out my purse and giving my bookkeeper all of our receipts. I failed to notice that the receipt for his birthday present was included in the pile I gave him. After a minute or so I noticed Beebs reading one receipt for a little longer than the others. I looked over and noticed the receipt for the golf bag that has been hiding at my parents house for a month was in his hand. WHAT AN IDIOT! I ruined his surprise. It was quite funny though.

Anyway, Brian is going to sub at my school tomorrow so we will get to see each other a little bit. I wanted to take cake but he said he didn't want cake. BOO!! We will go supervise my cheerleaders tomorrow night at the girls basketball game and then after a very exciting day with junior high students and cheer parents we will go to Rudy's with his family for dinner. Sounds like a SUPER EXCITING BIRTHDAY! :) We do plan to have fun with Olivia and Blake this weekend in Beaumont. After talking to Olivia tonight it sounds like they have a ton planned. Hopefully that will make up for such a boring January 15th. HAHA

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRIAN!

Getting Started

Hello everyone! We are finally attempting to start a family blog! We have both wanted to for a while, but with our crazy work and school schedules it has not been possible. Brian is now out of school and one of my three jobs is coming to an end. We will try to keep everyone up to date with what is going on, but can't promise daily blogs. :)

As far as what is going on now, Brian is actively searching for a job. He has sent out what seems like 100's of resumes but no one is hiring. He wants to work in radio, sports broadcasting or baseball operations. He also would not mind doing public relations or media management. We are hoping to find jobs in Ft. Worth, but if we can't I guess Houston is a good place. While Brian is searching for a job he is substitute teaching in Conroe ISD. He enjoys working with kids so teaching/coaching may end up being in his future. We truthfully do not know. We are praying that God will lead us and put us where he wants us to be. It will be wonderful to see what he has in store.

I (Nikki) am currently teaching seventh grade history in The Woodlands. I enjoy working with kids so it's a great job! This year I took on the job of being a cheerleading coach. This has been an experience. Needless to say I am glad that the season is almost over. :) In my spare time (6:30-8:30 at night) I work as an appointment setter at a sales office. It provides a little extra money and makes me value my real job.

Together we enjoy traveling, sleeping, going on dates, spending time with our family and friends and experiencing life! We hope to have kids in the next couple of years, but for now we enjoy just being us!
