This and That

Wow, it really has been a while since I've posted this time! Back to work and working on school stuff has kept us busy! We are so blessed to have good jobs and to be able to go to school. Sometimes we both get burned out with doing both, but we know it is for the best. We always strive to make time for our friends and family, however. It is hard to believe that Christmas is just around the corner! Where does the time go? The cold is here, and I don't deal well with the cold. I lose circulation in my fingers and toes if I get too cold, which is often. I hope I will survive when we go to Washington D.C after Christmas. I might have to get some extra warm clothes for the trip. I bet it is going to be so beautiful! Matt and I are almost done with our scuba diving training. We only have to do our final open water dive, and we will be finished. We are really excited, and we have worked hard for it. There is a lot going on in the Tyree household, that's for sure!

Family and other

It has been a while since my last post. Things have been crazy lately since Matt and I have both got back in the groove of a regular work schedule. We have been hanging out with our families a lot lately,too, which is always good. We have such a great time hanging out with both sides of the family. Our families are so important to us. I can't imagine what life would be like without each member. We don't just have our immediate families; we also have our extended church family, and we have such close friends that they are considered family as well. We are so blessed to have so many important people who love us and we love in return.

Old Days to New Days

Lately I've been thinking about high school and college days and how different things are now that I'm a responsible, married, adult with a career. It's weird. Where did the time go? Places have changed and I've changed, but one thing I try to keep constant is those friendships I had when I graduated from high school and college as well as new ones that I have made. I hung out with one of my best friends yesterday, and we ate lunch and then went and picked up dry cleaning as well as check on car and house insurance. I thought to myself, several years ago, we would eat lunch, go shopping, and go to a concert or something like that. Now we are doing grown up stuff when we hang out. I found it somewhat humorous. I mean it doesn't mean we don't ever do fun stuff like go to concerts or movies, but it is just different now. I've noticed the same thing with Matt. He talks with his friends about payments, school, careers, and other future stuff. Not the stuff we always used to talk about. I know that things change but sometimes it seems that even though they change some of them stay the same or are constant.

Why Not?

Since I started my Ed.s in Educational Psychology and Instructional Technology, I have been getting more tech savvy, so I figured why not start a blog? It could be fun! And it is a good way for people to stay current on what is going on with Matt and me, even if we don't talk with you often or even if we do.

I am currently on fall break from teaching my wild and crazy but sometimes sweet 9th graders at Alcovy, but Matt is at some Army training at Ft. Benning. That was not cool how that schedule worked out. Nonetheless, I went and visited since I could actually visit this time. I felt like a big girl because it was the longest and the farthest I had ever driven by myself...and through Atlanta too! Yeah, I am a country girl.

Matt and I have been helping out with the youth at our church on Wednesday nights, and it has been such a blessing. We have enjoyed the rejuvenation that we receive from the songs and message, and we also receive such a huge blessing helping the young people in our church with any issues that they might be having. It also helps us stay accountable to each other and just to ourselves. We have to strive to be examples for Christ for people all around us. I realize everyday that I have to constantly lean on God to get through the day and night. I can't depend on anything else. I love the lyric in the Chris Tomlin praise song called "Indescribable" that says "You see the depths of my heart, and you love me the same. You are amazing God." YAY!!!!!
