Yahoooo!

So, I was pretty shocked to see that on the TOP 10 lowest paying jobs that being a teacher and a social worker was one of them. Would have never guessed that.. Ecp with a 4 year degree for both. My dad frequently prints mess like his off, and feels the need to share it with me. Although, that did catch my attention!

Hallelujah!

Wow! I am so excited that I pulled off a high B+ in A&P II! Lord knows I really wanted that!

On the side lines, Andrew and I's business started yesterday-- Man we couldn't have asked for things to go any better! We have formed such a great partnership with Rob and Courtney and for that we are blessed.

So I got up yesterday morning at 6AM and got ready, was at Andrews by 7AM. We had to go to Raleigh first thing that morning because Andrew had a final to take at 9AM. So as he took his test I stayed in the truck and did secretary-like things =) No sooner that I got started, he was done..
So we leave Raleigh and head to Perry's Gun Shop so Andrew can pick out a glock (pistol) that my dad is buying him for graduation. We talk about getting night-sights put on//this//that//&& the other. Paid for. Done. He will not see or get until the graduation party at my house.

So from this point on our day was slam packed!! Wilson deliveries, Home deliveries, Red Oak deliveries and then our Nashville and RMT drop - off locations!
Nashville 4:45-5:15
Rocky Mount 5:30-6:00
We were so impressed how every one was there to pick up their produce on time and in a fashionable manner. We had to wait on NO ONE! We were at each of our locations on time and out in no time. What a praise!

In looking back I am just in awe that this vision of Andrews has now become a reality for us. I remember the night Andrew and I started discussing this. I never doubted him (as some folks did) and I stuck by him through all of our planning and many nights making sure things were going to be :just right: for us to make it or break it. So I started designing a brochure with Andrew by my side to "tweak" it. We then had PILES of these printed and distributed/broadcasted.
Andrew set a goal for this year and that was to have 50 customers (with this being our first year). End the end, we ended up with a total of 85 customers! We were both very excited and have enjoyed every minute of everyday.
We sure have had many of double dates through this, making sure things were lined up in accordance for our partners in this- Rob Glover and Courtney Barbour. Thank you so much Rob (our farmer) & Courtney (his amazing girlfriend)! We couldn't have made yesterday go perfect without the help of you guys!

So after a L O N G day yesterday it was nice to still be able to sit on the porch and enjoy watching the sunset while gazing at each other with a smile on our face knowing that a simple vision can be an utter reality!

A night on the town

After finishing one of two online Medical Terminology II test's online I figured Id just take a brief minute to type.
After all school has gotten the best of me right now and my nerves- Never believed in a "chill pill" before now! Whew! Although I am really pleased with my grades, it has taken alot of hard work..

Tonight I am just so excited to finally be going on a double date to PF Chang! Andrew and I need some time away from school, studying and the ordinary lifestyle- A night to relax and enjoy the company of others. Im sure right about now the dog and cat are extremely tired of me reading my A&P II final review over and OVER to them! =) Ive enjoyed it.. I dont know about them. Gracie smiles, so I guess she likes it!

On the other hand, I am getting so excited about going to Key West I dont know what to do with myself! I have started working extra hours at work to stash back some [play-time] money* Ive heard about a Jet-ski tour around all of the islands in the Keys (3-4 hours). I believe that is something WE WILL be doing. Ive heard it is beautiful and undescribable!

I guess that means I need to get my rear in gear and get to the Planet Fitness and tone up and tan hard-- Thanks to my mom! She is the best.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Anatomy & Physiology II

I just wanted to get up here and vent, bc I am so proud of myself. Today I had my last A&P II Lab Practical (for life) and made a 97 A+! I was stunned- I looked at my teacher second guessing myself and said, "Me, a 97.. Now way!?"

Then to top it all off we had to do a 2nd test on the computer, which is what we call ADAM: (Since we dont have REAL dead folks' we do a computer simulation program) I made a 99 A+! I was so excited! I guess hard, stressful studing does pay off!

I am so proud of myself and I know Andrew is! I guess we both will be celebrating tonight in this beautiful weather the Lord has blessed us with today!

As of now I have 1 more final in A&P II and that will be Monday! Then I will be DONE with A&P for GOOD! Praise the Lord! This class has nearly wooped-my-hiney =)

How the years fly by! Seems like just yesterday Andrew and I graduated from high school and now he is graduating from college! I guess the phrase "time flies when you are having fun.." really is true! Looking forward to ALL that is to come!
Congrats Abby Lane! Enjoy this time while you can! Life is too short to be anything but happy! Andrew and I love you.

Glory Be To God

I realize I have not been up here in quite a while to update the awesome things going on for Andrew and I.
As many of you are aware we started a "Community Supported Agriculture" business as shared in previous posts. We have exceeded our goal this year-- and give all the praise to Him! Andrew set a goal of 50 clients this year, being our first year doing this, and we are currently around 85! What a blessing this has been to us, and our excited clients! So, as the growing season approches we begin the [real deal] on May 4th. Our 1st delivery day! We will be covering Rocky Mount, Wilson, Nashville and good ole Red Oak. Therefore, If you see us at one of our "drop-off locations" stop in and speak. We'd love to hear from you.

As the school semester is about to come to an end for us both I am glad to announce that Andrew will be graduating from NC STATE on May 15, 2010 with a Bachelor's Degree in Agriculature Business. I am so proud of Andrew for all of the hard work he does IN & OUT of school. He has truly been a blessing in my life, and others as well. We will be throwing a graduation party at my house in Red Oak to celebrate all of his hard work.
As part of his graduation gift from my parents we will be going to Key West, FL in June to enjoy a piece of Heaven down further south.

Aside from our busy day to day lifestyle we :DO: have time to play!
Andrew and his daddy got us a little 17 ft boat to play around with and fish in the reservoir and in the marshes at the beach! Man have we sure enjoyed that small boat! There has not been a weekend yet that we have not gone out on the boat! Nothing like him fishing and me laying on the front catching rays :)

Hope each of you continue to do well.
With this having cought you guys up for a little while I will post a few pictures:

Key West, FL

Talk about excited! Andrew and I will be flying to the Florida Key's for a week with my parents in June! We cannot hardly wait! We both are so excited! Andrew graduates from STATE in May and this is going to be one of his treats* Nothing like going deep sea fishing in the gulf! My family in Florida will also be down there next to the us in a time share, and with a off shore boat for plenty of fishing! Lord, Thank you. We are so blessed. Without you this would not be made possible. Thank you.
