First Wedding Anniversary & Mentor Text Linky

I love Sundays for the Collaboration Cuties mentor text linky... and if you'd like to read about that scroll downward. This next bit is nothing teacher related, so if you don't want to read about it I understand. :)

A year ago today I married my best. My wedding day has been the best day of my life, so far. We were engaged forever (599 days!) Time seemed to drag until we were able to say "I do", but this last year has flown by. I guess time really does fly when your having fun!

 We had a problem with our decoration plan. This didn't come to light until 10 days before the wedding. Luckily, wheat harvest was early last year and we were able to incorporate wheat in many aspects of our wedding. 

 Song of Solomon 3:4 "I have found the one my heart loves." 

 I am an only child, and "daddy's girl". Tony & I had a traditional wedding, so I had my first look with my Dad before the wedding took place. I love the photos from this moment.
I usually just wear  boots. But I survived in 3 in heels for the day. (Joanne, I have no idea how you teach in heels everyday!)

 More wheat. I was digging wheat out of my hair for awhile that night!

 I love this man so much! 

 One of my favorite pictures of the day!

We've had a wonderful weekend spending time with each other and celebrating. Complete with some off-road adventuring through the flint hills this afternoon. I love Tony so much; I'm looking forward to all of the adventures God has in store for us for years to come :)

*All photos taken by the AMAZING Laura Foote from Captured in His Image photography. She will be relocating to Florida. So if you are looking for an amazing photographer or want to seem more of her amazing work please visit her webite!!* {Truly a sweet, lovely lady with God-given talent!}

Back to more teacher related things: Mentor Text Linky!!



This is a wonderful book that sums up some of life's lessons in a sweet way through making and eating cookies.

The book starts with: COOPERATE means, How about you add the chips while I stir? and continues with one definition per page. Definitions continue throughout each page with beautiful illustrations. Other definitions include: REGRET means, I really wish I didn't eat so many cookies; and CONTENT means sitting on the steps just you, me, and a couple of cookies.

Using cookies or another shared activity, this book could be used as an example for students to create their own life-lessons learned through a fun medium. A great way to start the year! 


Lastly, tomorrow I'm starting a recipe exchange of sorts. If there is a recipe you love, one you've tried (or want to try) from Pinterest or a great restaurant you'd like to recommend please link up.

I fully intend on participating with Monday Made It throughout the summer too... and I figure "making" good eats, treats and drinks kinda jives with that theme if your wanting to link up with both posts :)

I'm linking up with Kristin (Teeny, Tiny Teacher) and Hadar  (Miss Kindergarten) for their end of the year linky party! So much has happened this year, I'm excited to join in!


My 12 in '12 

12) Favorite Movie Watched

I haven't seen a movie in a theater all year. If we watch anything it's usually TV. My sister-in-law let us borrow What's Your Number a few weeks ago.. so I guess I'll say it's that.

We bought The Hunger Games at a black Friday sale. I really, really, really want to watch it, but I'm holding out that my hubby will read it first before watching, but I may have to watch it over break...

11) Favorite TV Series

Duck Dynasty. Home grown, humor. I also like the family aspect of a shared meal and prayer at the end of every episode.

I'm also the daughter of a game warden, so the great outdoors is in my blood :)

10) Favorite Restaurant

Willies Sports Bar. It's a local restaurant/bar in Manhattan the town of my Alma Matar (K-State, home of the Wildcats, whoot!) Luckily, we only live about 45 minutes away and find an excuse to get away to Manhattan about once a week and usually eat here.

9) Favorite New Thing I Tried

To learn how to use my DSLR camera. Went to a photography workshop with my best friend Lenses of Beauty put on by the wonderful ladies Laura & Emma (if you want to see some great photographers, check out their work!)  It was a fun afternoon, though I still have much to learn about my camera!

Here are a couple of images I took that day...   These were taken later in the evening at the Kat House Lounge. (A nice escape from the chilling outdoors.)




8) Favorite Gift Received



My wonderful fiance, minutes before I met him down the aisle had gave me a note by way of one of my bridesmaids. He is the sweetest guy ever.

7) Favorite Thing Pinned

I have lots and lots of pins...11,000+... but this is the first that comes to mind.

My hubby and I built our kitchen table, and someday, if we have the 3 boys that my husband is pushing for, something like this will definitely need to be made.

If you would like to check out some of my 11,000+ pins from school related pins to food, health, and kiddos click here

6) Favorite Blog Post

This is by far the most viewed post on my humble blog, the post with my first freebie.  I've used this resource throughout the year and I hope some of the people who viewed it found use out of it too.

5) Favorite Accomplishment

This last May I graduated from K-State with honors and shortly after was hired for my dream job. {It was a surprise hire, out of the blue, meant leaving another job...but this was definitely the right move to make, and I don't regret it one bit.)

4) Favorite Picture

I honestly cannot pick just one. June 2nd, 2012 was the best day of my life so far so I have to share a few pictures.





The days leading up to the wedding were cRazY! At the end of the day I was married to my best friend and the craziness didn't matter one bit. 

3) Favorite Memory

Getting married see above :)

2) Goal for 2013

I teach in a 1-1 iPad school district. AMAZING. But, I don't incorporate the iPad nearly enough. It's pathetic really. This is changing! 

I also want to be better at positive communication to home (or any for that matter). I don't feel like I'm making a good enough effort in this area either.

1) One Little Word

Blessed!


Here's hoping you have a wonderful new year!


Mrs. Whitehair
