Compatibility Test

I came across the craziest thing today! My mom told me that she was trying to go through my closet and get it organized so she asked me to come over and go through some things. I have this giant box filled with really weird things that I wanted to keep.. mostly from high school. While I was digging through trying to find what the keep or throw away, I made the neatest discovery. In high school, the Student Council would do a compatibility test with everyone in the school. I don't remember much about how it was done, but there was apparently some questions we had to answer. After a while, the results were delivered. I remember it was neat to see who would show up on your list. I haven't looked at this sheet since high school, so I thought it was really cool when I found it today. Check out who was one of the guys tied for most compatible!!
Now I have proof that we are meant to be together...haha!

December Stuff

December has been pretty exciting this year. I finished student teaching, GRADUATED, and Cody and I had our first Christmas together.

This was right after graduation... which was long and boring. I'm so glad to be done with school!

On the Monday, we had Christmas with my aunt, uncle and cousins. Since they weren't going to be here on Christmas day, we did our gift exchange then. My mom had given them, James, Cody and me all the same shaped box to open at the same time. It turned out to be Brian Regan tickets for when he comes to Beaumont. My poor dad though thought he had the fourth row seats until my mom told him she thought it would be nicer for them to give the kids those seats. Now he's on row 11 or something.... Here's Cody and me excited about our tickets!

Since I'm married to Cody now, I was required to attend the Bean-Murphy-Rucker Christmas Eve Bash. The present pile was enormous like they say (even though they all said it was smaller this year). We had lots of fun eating tons of food and hanging out. My new favorite dish is sweet potatoes with marshmallows on top - YUM. I could eat it every day forever.
The Beans' First Christmas
All December long, we talked about getting our Pandora bracelets... and here they are!! And we have so many beads already, by next Christmas we should be on bracelet #2!

Up next: 2009! And it will be filled with a different job, hopefully getting a permanent one, two babies in the family on the way (not me just to be clear!), hopefully buying a house if possible, and lots of weddings to attend! Should be a fun year.

Sam as Prince Charming

My cousin, Sam, was in a high school musical. He played Prince Charming in Cinderella. When I'm around him, he doesn't talk a lot, let alone sing solos. So, the whole family went out to Silsbee tonight to watch him sing and dance. It was funny to see him doing it all, but he was really good!

Cinderella and Prince Charming..awww
They had to kiss a few times

Prince Charming and me - and he definitely has on more makeup than me!

And in other news... I graduate in 1 week! Well.. since it's after midnight I guess that actually means 6 days!!

"Wake up, it's a blizzard out there!"

So... I was fast asleep, when Cody wakes me up to look at the snow. He had woken me up 30 minutes before, but there was barely any snow.. so I went back to sleep. After he woke me up again, I got out of bed anyway just to look, and it was everywhere! There were so many people around the apartment complex playing in the snow. It was so fun. So we made our snowman, threw snowballs, and froze our fingers and toes off!

This was taken around 1:00 AM

Instead of working, I caught Justin having a snowball fight with his coworkers!

Our church - it looked pretty!

We even had a late start to school because of the snow! We didn't have to go in until 10 which was awesome! It was all the kids could talk about at school today. Too bad we couldn't have the whole day off... it would have been nice!
