Art Projects

Here are some pics of some art projects I have been working on:

Travis made the table and I designed the mosaic top. We are a good team!!

Lost in the madness...

I am sorry it has been soooooo long since my last post. It seemed to get crazy in October. We went home for Thanksgiving but it wasn't long enough. Then came back to work for a few weeks then came home again for Christmas. Being home for two weeks was awesome!! I loved being able to spend all my time with family and not have to worry about working. That would be one perk to being a teacher. Then ever since we got back from Ga it has seemed like we have been so busy with church, youth, teaching, keeping up with the house and everything else that I totally forgot about the blog.

Travis has been very busy also. He has been working at the church with the youth and he has also been substitute teaching almost everyday. He stays busy.

We are praying about a few things in our lives right now that can't be explained but I will let you know when those things follow through. Thanks for all your prayers.

We miss Ga and family VERY MUCH!! We love you all and miss you!

Visit from Mama and Daddy West

This past weekend mama and daddy came to visit my birthday. They came on Friday and are staying until Thursday. Here are a few pictures of our week so far:

We went to New Orleans on Sunday and when we were there we got caught in a parade. I felt like I was at Mardi Gras but with out all the drunks!!

We got beads and we didn't even have to show anything off!!!

We were eating at Shaggy's on Friday night after they first got here.

Tuesday night we went to "Cruisin' the coast" in Pass Christian, Ms. There was a concert on the beach and all kinds of old cars. Daddy and Travis really loved the old cars!


Peace


my favorite car of the night

West Hancock Elementary

Well, today we went to tour the new school. We have been waiting and waiting to move into this BEAUTIFUL building and we finally got to see it and let me tell you....it is unbelieveable!! I have attatched some pictures of our new building. Man! November can't get here fast enough!!! My classroom is going to be huge and state of the art!!!! I am so pumped!!

First, is the gym. It is top notch!!

Then the cafeteria. I love how colorful it is!!

Devastation Pictures from Hurricane Katrina

Pictures of property in Pass Christian, Ms that were damaged during Hurricane Katrina. This is the city where the eye wall of Hurricane Katrina passed over. One of my coworkers lives in this town and gave me a tour and this is only a few pictures of what is STILL left over from the storm. Many people are still living in FEMA trailers or cottages. No one ever talks about how Mississippi got damaged from Katrina. All you hear about is New Orleans. It was a real eye opener. Many of my students have suffered mentally from Katrina. It is sad!

The only thing left from this home was the steps. They call them the "steps to nowhere"

Hello again...

It's been along time since we posted our last blog. Yes, we are still alive after all the hurricanes and we didn't have any damage. Thank God. I sometimes ask the Lord why he moved us to hurricane alley!! But I have to just trust Him.

Anyway, I am counting down the days until my birthday because mama and daddy are coming to visit the weekend before and The Graham's are coming to visit the weekend after. It can't get any better than that!!

Hope everyone is doing well!

Love ya'll

Holly
