I love you so much!!

    It’s been 1 week and 4 days since I was home, and it feels as if it’s been forever.  This week has been very busy, as Trav would put it "I’m a junior now and things are different."  After 2 papers and a test this week and barely having time breath, let alone get out of the building for a while, I’m starting to feel like a  prisoner in my own room!  I was actually excited about getting to sit desk tonight, it meant I was staring at my ceiling for once!  I get out of prison tomorrow morning at 8 and I’m excited about meeting Travis for lunch in Jackson at 11!  It’s going to be a busy, but hopefully fun, weekend.  We have all kinds of plans made and it will be interesting to see which ones actually pan out!  I’m off to pretend like I work hard…but everyone knows I don’t! 

Check out our wedding matchbooks! The only trick is that they are not really matches at all! They are little booklets of paper.  We have matching pens that our guests can use to write in them until their hearts delight!  Besides, would we actually be crazy enough to turn our families loose with live flames during our wedding?  Absolutely not!

Jerry and Lucille Smith of Wooton, would like to announce the engagement of their son, Travis Smith to Rebecca Kim Gross, daughter of Claude Gross and Ella McIntosh of Jackson, to be married on May 27, 2006 at Living Waters Church in Hazard, KY. Travis is an Office Technology Instructor at the Breathitt County Area Technology Center. Rebecca currently attends the University of Kentucky where she is majoring in social work.

Hey everyone!  I know it’s been a long time since I posted, so I wanted to do so!  I’ve been back at school for 3 weeks now.  It’s crazy how time flies but it sometimes it still feels like I’ve been here forever.  My mom is in the process of planning our wedding shower.  It’s February 18 at 12:30.  If anyone is interesed, let me know and I’ll get you more details!  Trav and I are both under the weather today and neither of us know  why.  With that said, this post is going to be a short one because I’m off to stare into space until I get off work at 8 and can go stare into space in my room!

I just booked our honeymoon property! It’s oceanfront, and we get it for a whole week.  Here’s the specs:

Here’s the stuff I’m trying to juggle at the moment:

• Teaching
• Planning Lessons
• Grading Papers
• Discipline
• Community Involvment
• Industry Involvement
• Internship
• Portfolio
• Observations
• Masters Program
• School Law Class
• Homestead
• Clean house
• Decorate house (not really a priority)
• Vehicle Maintenance
• Becca (which is good, cause I love this part)
• Seeing her at UK
• Hanging with her on the weekend
• Getting married
• Planning the honeymoon 

I’m not complaining. It just helps to write it out sometimes. I know I can do it. Life is actually falling into place, just where I want it.  Time to put my head down and plow through this like there’s no tomorrow.

I really like you.
