Father: a male parent; one who gives parental care; one who is a provider.
This definition of a father does not justify MY DAD. He is much more than a parent, much more than just gives parental care, and way much more than just a provider.
I am blessed to be extremely close to both of my parents. Yet, I will say that I feel that I am a Daddy's girl. He has always been there for me. Whenever I am feeling overwhelmed or upset, I know that if I call my dad, he is going to make it okay. My dad loves his family more than anything. He would do anything for anyone of us. I admire my dad for loving our family with his whole heart. He has the most sincere heart. If you are sick, in the hospital, had a family member die, or just not feeling great, my dad is the FIRST person to visit you and spend time with you. He is well-known at the funeral home and hospital for this reason. My mom wants him to be a "pink man" at the hospital when he retires. He would be perfect for it!
So, on my dad's birthday, I just want to say that I am very blessed to have him in my life. He is the best example of a dad, husband, and "Poppy." I love you Dad!!! Have the best birthday : )

A little late but I think I still need to say it...
I know that Thanksgiving was last week, but I was out of town and did not blog. So, here is my Thanksgiving post.
Thanksgiving could possibly be my favorite holiday. I absolutely love it. I hate that so many people try to rush it with putting up Christmas lights and decorations. It truly is a remarkable holiday. I often forget that I have SO much to be thankful for. So for this post I have decided to list what I am thankful for. I will try to be quick because I know that my sister's birthday post was LONG. Sorry but she is kinda a big deal.
What I am thankful for:
1. My husband. He is my best friend and supporter. He is so good to me. Example A: He is taking me to Mexican tonight and to get a Christmas tree, even though he HATES mexican food. Oh, how I love him!
2. My family. I am absolutely nothing without them. I enjoyed spending the holidays with them. They are so fun and we always have a great time. Can not wait until CHRISTMAS with the crew : )
3. My "New" family. Since marrying Trey in June, I gained a HUGE new family. This Thanksgiving, we traveled to Chatt-town to visit. I had the greatest time with both sides of the family. I thoroughly enjoy all of them, especially chilling with my six-year old and nine-year old sister-in laws. They are a riot!
4. A warm bed. I take this for granted when I see that so many do not have the luxury.
5. A job. I know that it is really hard at times to have a positive attitude about work, but I am very thankful for my job.
6. My health. I have never stopped to be thankful for this, but as I am getting older, I am extremely thankful that I am healthy. Also, thankful for my family's health.
7. My amazing friends. Although we are spread across the United States, I love them all dearly and can't wait to see them soon. They are truly great friends. Miss you all.
8. Last but definitely not least, my Lord and Savior who is the meaning of this life. I am so thankful that I can freely worship and have a personal relationship with my heavenly Father.
I could rattle on for days about what I am thankful for but I won't. I will leave you with this:
Be joyful always, pray at all times, be THANKFUL in all circumstances.-1 Thessalonians 5:16.
May we all remember this, especially during the holidays.
Woo Hoo! Christmas in 24 days : ) I guess I should START my shopping : ) Have a blessed day!

Happy Birthday Sissy!
Well, I have been busy lately, so my blog has been neglected. Yet, today is a very important day so I figured I could find the time to create a new post.
Today is the day that my best friend was born. See picture below of who my best friend is.
You guessed it. My best friend in the world is my sister, Amanda. When we were younger and we were fighting, my mother would ALWAYS say, "I just wish I'd a sister to fight with. When you both get older, you will be best friends." Well, I had to admit it, but Mom was right. I think that my sister is the greatest. I would never trade her for a brother. ever. So, in honor of her birthday, I am going to give 29 reasons why I love her. Warning: This may take a while.
1. She is a great confidant. Whenever, I have a problem I call her first.
2. She has the sweetest spirit. She would do anything for anyone at any moment of the day.
3. She has given me the gift of being an aunt. Will and Caroline=enough said.
4. She is beautiful. Whenever I was younger, all of my guy friends would be like "Your sister is so HOTT!" I will admit that I was a little jealous back then. Now, I totally agree with them.
5. She is now has brown hair. I love it, Amanda. You better keep it.
6. She loves the Lord. She has infallible faith. I admire her the most for this.
7. She is a TOTAL scaredy cat. I make fun of her for it. Yet, I can see this in me as well.
8. She has a peanut head. Our family has always laughed about this because she can never wear any hats because her head is so tiny.
9. She shares the love of reality t.v. or magazines with me. When we are together, we could totally watch reality t.v. together without saying a word. When we read those trashy magazines, we are enthralled in them. This bothers our mom so much when she is trying to talk to us.
10. When we were younger, we fought with each other all the time. Yet, when someone else was trying to fight with us, we had each other's back. She is protective of me and me of her.
11. She is emotional. Amanda is that one girl in the movies that cries at every part of the movie, even when it is not sad. I used to make fun of her for this. I now am that girl. Thanks Amanda and Mom.
12. She is a wonderful example of a mother. She loves her children with everything she has. I admire you for that. I hope that when I am a mother I am half as good as you.
13. Her marriage. Amanda and Jesse are a wonderful example of love for Trey and me. I love to see them interact and be totally in love. Keep it up.
14. My mom and Amanda planned my wedding. Enough said.
15. She has a passion for life. She could be doing something so not fun, but she is doing it with a smile on her face.
16. She is a great nurse. She loves people. She makes them feel special when she is taking care of them.
17. She just passed her boards for being a Lactation Consultant. Do not ever tell her you are not going to breastfeed your baby if you don't want to see her grow fangs and sharp claws. Not a pretty sight. Trust me on this one from experience. I now plan on breastfeeding my children, when I have them in ten years.
18. She is a total planner. She loves throwing parties and showers. I did not inherit this gene at all. See #14.
19. She is total computer junkie. I will admit I am one too. We have that in common. We may need help because of it.
20. She is the life of the party. My wedding=greatest example of this. Love you Mandy.
21. She is so creative. She can think of anything and everything. Example A: She made a Thomas cake for my nephew's birthday that looked like it came from Ace of Cakes. Ridiculous.
22.She loves family time. I do too. I can not wait for Thanksgiving and Christmas. CAN NOT WAIT!!!
23.She is my shopping partner. Amanda, Mom, and I can go shopping all day. I always have to pit stop to eat, but then I am good to go.
24.We have the same favorite store. Target. No explanation needed.
25.Whenever we are not with each other, I can call Amanda and talk for a long time. I love our conversations.
26.She is so stinking smart. She has a job, two kids, a house, a husband, and she is still continuing to get her Masters. I am so proud of you.
27.We have the same Alma Mater and we love it. We bleed orange. In fact, our entire family does. Thank goodness, we married men who love it too!
28.Cupcakes. Amanda and I love cupcakes. Whenever I am in town and we are close to Ivey's cupcakes, we MAKE an excuse to go in.
29.Next year, she turns 30. Watch out because we are going to do it BIG!
I love you very much sister! Have a fabulous day! I wish I was with you. Can't wait to see you on Tuesday!!!

My little "stinkabug"
This little nugget was born on November 13, 2006.
He now looks like this:
My little nephew turns THREE tomorrow. I honestly can't believe it.
I remember where we were when Amanda told me she was pregnant. I remember telling Amanda when he was born that "I hope that I love my children as much as I love him right now." I remember crying on my way back to Knoxville because I didn't want to leave him and my family at the hospital. I remember changing his diaper for the first time. I remember being quite disgusted by completing that activity. I remember when he started talking and I heard him say "Jen-Jen" for the first time. I remember talking with him on the phone for the first time and actually having a real conversation.
He will always hold a precious piece of my heart. I can not imagine my life without that sweet little "stinkabug." Happy Birthday Wilbur! You are such a blessing in my life : )
P.S. Uncle Trey and Aunt Jen-Jen can't wait to celebrate your birthday this weekend : )

Umm, Mrs. Lloyd....
So, as many of you know, I teach second grade. Most days, I absolutely love it. It is hard. VERY HARD. Most days, I leave the school in tears because I don't think my kids have learned anything at all. Well, on those days that are going well, I have those moments that make me love my job. Second graders are funny, little, adorable things. They really are fun. I know that I get annoyed with them. Sometimes, I want to pull out my hair (on more than one occasion during the day). But, I really do love it. Anyway, I love the things that these kids say. I mean, they are so funny... and they don't realize it.
Well, this little story happened a few weeks ago, but I think it is totally blog worthy. I was telling my students that they must raise their hand to get my attention or in order to use the bathroom. I have gone over this rule about 123456789 times since August 7th. It is a rule that most kids forget. Well, as I am in the middle of explaining this rule, I have one student up at my desk. I told him he needed to go back to his seat and raise his hand if he needed something. His face had a look of panic. He said, loudly to the entire class, "But I can't wait, I have DIHERREA in my butt." This is a true story. No lie. Needless to say, my little friend DEFINITELY used the bathroom that day without raising his hand. FOR SURE. Wow. What can I say? I love those little ones.

11.7.1985
November 7, 1985 was the day that this man came into the world.
I am very glad that he was born. I love my husband very much. I think that since marrying him, I have grown to love him more each day. I love you, Trey!

My enemy's name starts with a J...
Ok, do me a favor and look at this picture.
This picture was taken at Sigma Chi Christmas Formal. Also known as "Trey and I's first date." It was a great night. I didn't post this picture to reminisce about that night. Instead, I posted to talk about me. Yes, I want to just reminisce about my "Sophomore year in college body". You heard me. Body. You know when you are younger and think you can eat anything and you will never gain any weight. Sophomore year of college was probably the climax of that thought process for me. Anyway, I want to be back in that body. So, instead of feeling sorry for myself, I am going to do something about it. I have enlisted the help of a certain person to help me back into that body in the little black dress.
Here she is...
If you don't know who this is, you should be ashamed. She is a trainer for another one of my favorite shows "The Biggest Loser." She can also be known as "the person who will make your life miserable." You see, when I was getting ready for my wedding, my sister and mother introduced me to Jillian. I did not want to meet her. Yet, they convinced me "that it wasn't a bad exercise dvd at all." Yeah right. Not a bad exercise dvd if you want to feel like you are going to die in the middle of it. The other day, my sister and mother called me to tell me they were starting Jillian again. I am a sucker for peer pressure. So, Jillian and I meet again for round 2 of "Operation Get Jen Slim." If I don't post tomorrow, you will know that everything is sore, including my fingertips.

I have been tagged...What does that even mean?
So, as you all know, I am new to the "blogging" world. Apparently in this wacky world of Internet diaries, if you get "tagged" by someone, you have to do what they say. Well, my big sister just tagged me. Real cool Mandy, real cool.
So, here goes:
My Top Ten for November 4th
1. I absolutely LOVE text messages. I am not sure what it is that makes me love them, but I think they are the greatest. This morning on my way to work, I got a text message from a very special, red-headed friend. Of course, she texted me about "the new blog" and how she couldn't believe I hadn't told her. M- I just started it last night! Good news must travel fast. P.S. YOU need a blog. Thanks.
2. I love fall. I love the bright colors. I love wearing my jacket. I especially love that it gets me closer to Thanksgiving Break and Christmas Break. Remember, teachers get those breaks off of school: )
3. I can not wait to buy a Christmas tree. Since this will be our first Christmas as a married couple, we get to buy a tree. Trey is not as excited, probably because he will have to put it together. Love you babe : )
4. I love get-togethers with old friends. I got an invitation in the mail for a brunch for a newly engaged friend. I can't wait to hang out with my old girlfriends and celebrate her BIG rock!!!
5. I love my niece and nephew. Now that my nephew is talking all the time, I love talking to him on the phone. The other night, I called my mom and my nephew got on the phone. I asked him what sissy was going to be for Halloween. He said, " Oh, she just gonna be a bug." Sissy was actually a really cute LADYbug. Gosh, I could eat them. I could eat my niece and nephew, not ladybugs.
6. I love my husband. I love that he has many talents and hobbies. If you know my husband, one of his hobbies is hunting. He is an avid hunter. The only thing that I do not like about fall is it starts duck season and deer season. I am thinking about starting a "shopping" season during these months. Anyone want to join?
7.My dad is coming home today. We all have missed him a lot. I can't wait to see him soon.
8.I love my students. They are hilarious, crazy, and always keep me on my toes. They teach me more each day.
9.Each morning, I get into my car and blast my praise and worship cd. It is now my favorite morning routine. I know all my other co-workers think I am crazy when I open my car door and "Open the Eyes of my Heart, Lord" is blaring. Oh well, it is my morning coffee.
10. Hoarders. If you don't know what I am talking about. You need to google it. It is the best show. Most people are appalled by this show. Actually, my mother called me the other night to tell me "that she couldn't believe I actually liked the show." In fact, I do love it. I never intend to be a hoarder, but I will admit I (and my father-in-law) like to watch others be hoarders. We may be there only fans.
Well, there you have it. My first TOP TEN. Oh, I am so proud of myself.
So, here goes:

I guess I should introduce myself....
I know that I am blogging twice in one day. I know you are thinking that I am a loser. This is true, but I do feel that I need to introduce myself before I begin this blogging adventure. So here it goes.
-I am 23 years old.
-I am newly married to my college sweetheart of three years.
-I married my best friend on June 6th. Honestly, it was the best day of my life. Now, with that being said, THANK YOU Amanda and Mom for all of my wedding planning. I know that I was miserable to be around for the entire six months. Love you both.
-I teach second grade. I love my kids. Enough said.
-I am having fun being a wife. After almost 5 months of being married, I made my first meal last night. My husband was impressed. So was I, due to the fact that I have never cooked anything in my life that can not be cooked in a microwave. True story.
-I love to spend time with my family. They are absolutely amazing. I miss them. a lot. I hate we don't leave in the same town. One day I hope to live closer.
-I think that my niece and nephew are the two cutest kids in the entire world. Well, let's just face it, they are the cutest in the world. Amanda, that is until I have kids. Then Poppy and Nonnie will have to be shared. Got it?
-I am helping with the senior high youth group at our church in C'ville. I am loving it. I never thought I would want to work with kids above the age of 10. Through working with them, I could see a change of heart.
Well, I guess that is enough about me. Peace.

-I love to spend time with my family. They are absolutely amazing. I miss them. a lot. I hate we don't leave in the same town. One day I hope to live closer.
-I think that my niece and nephew are the two cutest kids in the entire world. Well, let's just face it, they are the cutest in the world. Amanda, that is until I have kids. Then Poppy and Nonnie will have to be shared. Got it?
-I am helping with the senior high youth group at our church in C'ville. I am loving it. I never thought I would want to work with kids above the age of 10. Through working with them, I could see a change of heart.
Well, I guess that is enough about me. Peace.
Here Goes Nothing....
Well, I will admit it. I have always thought blogs were stupid. I always thought they were for people with babies or people who had nothing else to do. Well, I am without children for now and Facebook is getting a little old, so I am starting a blog. Yes, I do enjoy reading blogs, but I never, EVER, intended to be a "blogger." I mean, I will also admit that my life is COMPLETELY boring. Who wants to read about my little life in Clarksville? Well, apparently my mother and my sister do. I am not really sure why, because I call them everyday and we talk about every aspect of my day. Yet, to appease them, I am now a "BLOGGER." Oh boy. This should be fun : )
