Head Coach Medley

This guy

This guy here is AH-MAZ-ING! I came home from getting my hair done this morning-he had all the laundry done and cleaned the bathroom! All while keeping the peace between the boys too. Yep, he is pretty incredible and I am so blessed he is mine! 

His Own Room

Todd finally got his own classroom this year. He is teaching part time sped and part time social studies. Camden and I went to see his new room and I offered my decorating skills, but he kindly turned me down. Apparently, they don't use colored paper and border in the high school social studies department. :) 

Throwback Thursday

Tbt and Happy First Day of 2015-2016 to this guy! Even though he wouldn't let me use my mad hot glue gun and decorating skills on his new classroom. smile emoticon Can't wait to hear how his first day of teaching social studies went!

Safe

I love this man! He is my rock. I cannot say enough good things about him. We have been married for 11 years today! I am so blessed to have him as my husband. When life is stressful, I can always depend on him. We were driving in the car the other day when he reached for my hand and this thought crossed my mind, He makes me feel so safe! He is the first one I want to call to share news whether happy or sad, he is who holds me when I am sad or stressed. He knows me better than anyone and he prays for me. He can tell how I am feeling just by looking at me. Our marriage is far from perfect and yes, we may argue. But I know we are both love God, are committed to this relationship and have each other's backs. I so wish his mom and dad could see the man he has become-they would be so proud. And there are days I wish I could tell them how awesome he is and how thankful I am that they raised such an amazing man. He is a great leader of our little family. We have known each other for 13 years and have been married for 11 years. We may not have been able to celebrate our anniversary in any extravagant way, but that isn't important. I love you more that ever, Todd!

Wal-Mart

We had quite possibly the slowest checker in Wal-Mart history today. I was really glad Daddy is part comedian and was able entertain J Bear with his bubble blowing abilities.

Another Daddy's Boy

I read something on Facebook the other day that said: I never knew how much I loved your Daddy until I saw how much he loved you. This is exactly how I feel about Todd and our boys. Being a daddy comes so natural to him. And I have a feeling that Jaden will be another Daddy's boy just like his big brother Camden. I only wish Wayne and Barb could see their son as a father-they would be so proud!

Oh, this man!

So, Todd and I disagree on the issue of wearing athletic socks with dress pants. Neither of us will budge and so we agree to disagree. Yesterday at lunchtime, I get a text with pictures saying 3 out of 5 guys at lunch are wearing athletic socks with dress pants. I couldn't help but laugh. I love this man who makes me laugh. He may drive me crazy at times and we may not always see eye to eye, but he is my best friend and I love sharing life with him!

Visiting Daddy

On Mommy's last day of maternity leave, we visited Daddy at work. All the ladies had been asking when they were going to meet Baby Jaden, so we figured a visit was in order. Daddy showed Jaden off to his colleagues and even a few students. It was so neat to watch the kids as they saw another side of tough Mr. Medley!

Polar Plunge

HHS Polar Plunge 2014

Who doesn't play hockey in the kitchen?

It was just a fun game of hockey in our 10x10 kitchen...until the puck goes under the dryer...Never a dull moment I tell ya! (Please excuse the mess-our house is very lived in.)

Technology

At times, technology is my greatest annoyance and I wish we were back in simpler times. But on days like today, I am glad for the smile technology was able to bring to my face. I got this picture in a text from Todd and it said, "Guess what I just found in my back pocket?" I laughed out loud and it made my day!

The Sickies

This has been the scene in our house lately. Sick little boy, sick big boy and momma tried to keep the germs at bay! Bring on the Clorox!

Twitter

My dear husband gave me the most grief for quite some time about Facebook. He hated how people posted every single thing they had done or were currently doing. And while I agree with him about that, I enjoy seeing everyone's picture and keeping updated on their lives. Well, he can't give me too much trouble anymore because he is midwestvolsfan on Twitter these days. He claims it is so much different than Facebook, but I think social media is just that no matter what the name. But we will just let him think that Twitter is better. :) 

Annual Tennessee Trip

Todd and Matt have not been able to go to Tennessee since Todd started coaching for Hillsboro. There is usually a playoff game on that weekend. Well, Tennessee traveled to Columbia to play Mizzou this year, so they went. HIgh school football coaches in Missouri can get free tickets to Mizzou games, so they took advantage of that offer. They also were able to get tickets to the UT Alumni Tailgate Tour buffet. Looks like they had a great time!
