Dear Readers,

Welcome to my public blog. I use this blog now only for my non-family related posts. All of our family posts, including pictures and videos of our little guy, can now be seen on our private blog. Our private blog can be found HERE.

If you like to use Google Reader or blog lists to see when a blog has been updated, just keep this blog on those lists. I will put a post up on this blog letting you know I have posted on our private blog so that you will still get the updates.

If you would like an invitation to our private blog please leave your email address in a comment on this blog - comments must be approved prior to posting so no one else will see your address. Please don't hesitate to ask for an invitation if you have enjoyed keeping up with us through this blog. Blog Stalkers, it is time to make yourselves known! :) Seriously though, please ask for an invite if you want one and if you think I might not know who you are just give me a little reminder of how I know you.

Happy Blogging! -Lara

It's a Beautiful Day

I thought I had better post again and let you all know that I am in a much better mood! :) Thanks to everyone for your words of encouragement.

Things that have made me smile lately:

It is an absolutely GORGEOUS spring day and the perfect temperature! It isn't too hot or too cold, all you need is a light jacket!

There is less than a calendar month left of school left and I only have to wake up and go to work 20 more times!

I only have 4 more IEP's to write!

We have a stash of Dove Dark Chocolates in our house right now.

My kitchen is clean!

I have 2 of my 4 dentist appointments out of the way. Both my teeth have been prepped for their crowns and I go in next week to get the first one seated and in 3 weeks to get the second one done. Then I will hopefully be done with dentist appointments for at least 6 months! :) Except that my dentist keeps "suggesting" that I get my wisdom teeth out. I think I may procrastinate that one for a bit longer.

I got a free dinner on Tuesday from Noodles for being a teacher. Mmmmm

My husband has been doing all sorts of sweet things for me over the past week. He is so good to me.

I'm glad things are getting better. I know Jon is going to be a dentist but I agree it still isn't that fun to go to them :) Unless its Jon of course :) P.S. I didn't know you were trying for a baby. I wish you the best of luck. You will be an AMAZING mother.

4 more IEP's I'm so jealous! I have about 10. I've had my wisdom teeth out 2 years ago and it wasn't fun. My advice would be to do it when you have a week or so to relax and recover and eat lots of ice cream. It makes everything better. Way cute picture.

Good to hear things are looking up. Spring time is always a time of hope for me. I love it when the temperature if perfect. I miss you. I think we need to get together sometime this summer- a double date would be fun! Love ya, hope things keep getting better for you!

Your awesome. I love your blog back ground...and if I showed up to a dance wearing the same dress as you I wouldn't care, because I know I'd be stylin' if it was the same as yours. The embarassing thing would be who are dates are :) just kidding. Good luck with everything. You've been in our prayers.

My dentist keeps suggesting I get my wisdom teeth out too...I chose to wait on that as well. Thanks for your notes. I'm glad you are doing better. Hopefully, you got my message. We'll have to talk later this weekend. Love ya!

I love your countdown until school gets out. My kids get out of school for summer in exactly 1 hour! I can't belive how quickly the year has flown by. Hopefully the next 2 weeks fly by for you! Can't wait to see you guys for the wedding!
