<br /></center>
<center>
Today was my first day at my new school. </center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
I will be honest. I was/am nervous. I miss my "normal". I miss knowing everyone as I walk down the hallway. I miss my teacher friends. I miss feeling like I am home. BUT...Today was a great day! I am having a hard time putting it in words. Christian Academy of Louisville is a place that can't be explained. Over the past months, I have had the privilege of meeting several different teachers and leaders and I knew then something was different. </center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
With only a public school teaching background (and NEVER teaching 6th grade), I really didn't know what to expect when it came to teaching in a Christian School System (btw CAL is the largest in the USA). I was overwhelmed. Today, we spent the morning in God's word. I was prayed for, asked to lay my fears down, given verses, and taught what it means to teach at Christian Academy of Louisville. </center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
What did I come away with? The people at CAL are not only labeling themselves as a Christian school but they truly live it. They urge it and have it in all conversations. They want my character to display Christ, they want my lessons to have Biblical integration, they want me to share God's word with my students, and pray with them. </center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
I left today with a peace. It truly is a blessing to be starting a new journey at CAL. Pray for me as I start teaching 6th grade. I am finding joy with the "older kids"! </center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
And if you every find yourself living in Louisville, check out Christian Academy of Louisville. </center>

Welcome to Louisville! It is hard to believe that Adam and I have been here a month. This move is something that has been discussed, since we met, and to think we are finally here and making a home is surreal. Louisville is a great city. We have enjoyed exploring and eating the good food the city has to offer. </center>

Before making the move, we spent the last few weeks in Mobile saying goodbye to our precious friends, family, and church family.<br /><br />

Adam and I are officially on our way to Louisville, Kentucky. I can’t even express how much we are going to miss Mobile, Alabama. This has been my home for 8 years and JAT has lived here his whole life. To say we are leaving a piece of our heart, in this city, is for sure an understatement. I wanted to jot down a few things and places that makes us love this city so much. </div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">1. Dauphin Way Baptist Church. The people, that make up this congregation, mean the world to us. Our family is here. I had no idea what was in store for my life when I first visited Dauphin Way as a college student. I could have never dreamed that I would end up meeting my husband, getting married, and starting our ministry together all in the same place. Oh, how we love these people.</span><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;"> </span></div>

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; min-height: 13px;">

<br></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px;">
4. The Crescent Theater. We love this place. (I am sure hoping Louisville has something like this downtown). We love watching movies at the Crescent. Our favorite time to visit is during the Christmas holidays. They are always playing classic films. (And an added bonus, if you go early you can score a recliner!)</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; min-height: 13px;">

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px;">
5. Carpe Diem. We can't get enough of coffee and that means we LOVE Carpe. We also enjoy participating in the Santa Run, that they host, every Christmas Eve. It’s one of our favorite things to do with one of our favorite families! </div>

6. Mobile Library. The library is the best. Now, I know every city has one of these but we are going to miss Mobile’s library. The downtown branch is just wonderful. </div>

14. MARDI GRAS. Adam said that it is going to hit him that we have moved when it is Mardi Gras season and we can’t go to a parade. This is our absolute FAVORITE thing to do with Adam’s side of the family. Let’s not even talk about how much we are going to miss this big event. Oh, and the King Cake.. I can’t even. </div>

PS: Another favorite thing of mine to do is to drive across the bay to spend the day on the Eastern Shore. Adam would not agree but I will say that a day spent in Fairhope, Alabama is a day well spent. The quaint town is picture perfect. I have dragged JAT over for fireworks and dinner and he did enjoy himself. </div>

Oh, and who can’t forget the Grand Hotel. We spent our 1st year anniversary at the Grand and it was perfect. We absolutely enjoy making a quick trip over to Point Clear to enjoy the pool and bike rides at the Grand Hotel. </div>

<br />
If you didn't already know, Adam and I will be moving to Louisville, Kentucky. Adam will be attending the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. We are so, so thrilled about this new opportunity! In just 6 weeks we will be making the move and we covet your prayers.<br />
<br />
Throughout this whole process one of my biggest concerns has been finding a teaching position. The Lord has taught me so much. I can't even start to describe it. I recently finished BSF where we studied the life of Moses. Throughout the study, we see the Isrealites doubting God, right after He clearly showed them that He had a hand on them. Yall, this is me. God has and is continuing to show me that He is all over our move to Louisville. But, being the person I am, He provides and I still doubt...Just like the Israelites. Thank you Jesus for not giving up on me.<br />
<br />
It is in, what seems to me the oddest circumstances, that He lets me know He is in control. There isn't a week or even a day that someone doesn't come to me and say, "Oh I have a friend in Louisville" or "I have a friend who teaches there", or even, "I'm from Louisville". God has used the people around me to show me that even when I doubt and have little faith, He is still in control. I am currently still looking for a teaching position, but I know, that in His time, He will put me exactly where I need to be. Doors are being opened. I am so thankful to be surrounded by people that are doing everything they can to help me find a job. The power of social media can be a great thing! Thank you to those sweet friends, who have reached out to other friends, to help this girl find a job. I appreciate you so much!<br />
<br />
As we leave, the city that we love, we are sad to be saying goodbye to our families and friends. Mobile, Alabama has been so good to us. Our families, Dauphin Way Baptist Church, and our dear friends, WE LOVE YOU. Thank you for pouring into our lives and marriage. Adam and I cherish each and every one of you. Thank you for loving us so much.<br />
<br />

</span><center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Simplicity.</span></span></center>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: normal;"><br /><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">As I sit at my house alone right now (only because Adam is gone to play basketball), I can’t help but think of how simple life seems to be. For the majority of the time, the house work is kept up, laundry done, dishes clean, and my love for throw pillows are in order. Life gets busy-yes, but it is simple. Maybe it's the slowness that comes after a busy holiday season but I seem to feel that it is right where God would have us to be..living a life of simplicity. The Maggie that I know would be so discontent about the simplicity. She always wants the next thing, doing the next step, rushing through the now moment. But I’m not. Right now, at this moment, life is simple and I am totally ok with that. God is teaching me a lot and just what I need at this moment in life</span><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: normal;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><br /></span><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">I wanted to record this little thought that has been brewing in my brain. In years to come, as I look back on my writing, hopefully with kiddos running around, I can smile knowing that for a period life wasn’t too busy and the house was clean!</span></span></span></h2>

Sorry for my lack of blogging the last half of 2014. I have been super busy with a little thing called, Maggie Tait | Photography. </center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
I started this adventure last Easter for family and it has taken off! I have had the opportunity to travel all over the gulf coast and back to my hometown to take pictures for the most precious families. </center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
Starting in January, I will be doing sessions only on Saturdays! </center>
<center>
(I still have a day job that keeps me pretty busy!!) </center>
<center>
<br /></center>

Be on the look out for Easter mini-sessions (with a live bunny)! </center>
<center>
More info will be coming soon! </center>

Week 21/22..</center>

Adam and I celebrated two years of marriage during this week. We went to New Orleans for a little over night trip. We had the best time eating the good food New Orleans has to offer, shopping, and walking through the streets. </center>

Week 26..</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Our church took 31 kindergarten-third grade students to KidsWay Camp this week! It is a two night camp, not far from the church, but the kids still get the full camp experience. We had a blast swimming, playing games, and learning about Jesus. The theme was survivor and Adam related all the Bible studies back to that. It totally wore us out! </center>

I think I heard the angels singing on the Friday we got out for Spring Break! I could not get out of the school fast enough. I definitely had spring fever. </center>
<center>
<br></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
I started out my break by heading to Toxey to visit with friends and family. I never get to go enough, so I take the opportunity when I have it. It is such a breath of fresh air to be with my family. </center><center style="text-align: left;"><br></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-k_PMYlXMSvE/U10wPswS_EI/AAAAAAAADHY/bywZIkfkJWQ/s640/blogger-image-1858752894.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-k_PMYlXMSvE/U10wPswS_EI/AAAAAAAADHY/bywZIkfkJWQ/s640/blogger-image-1858752894.jpg"></a></div></center><center style="text-align: left;"><br></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
I headed back to Mobile on Tuesday and had a little down time at home for a few days. Unfortunately, Adam was not on Spring Break, so it was business as usual for him. He did manage to get off Friday so we could head to Sandestin to have a little mini vacation. We left Mobile as soon as he got out of class on Thursday. The drive to Florida isn't a bad drive at all. We were there in no time and I do believe it is my new favorite place. We are making plans to go back this summer. Our sweet, sweet friends invited us to come stay with them a few days and we are so thankful they did. </center><center style="text-align: left;"><br></center><center style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-eqe3AZtKRLQ/U10wMu5qnNI/AAAAAAAADHI/CGKzeSYgdLs/s640/blogger-image-220882821.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-eqe3AZtKRLQ/U10wMu5qnNI/AAAAAAAADHI/CGKzeSYgdLs/s640/blogger-image-220882821.jpg"></a></div></center><center style="text-align: left;"><br></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
We arrived around 6:30 pm on Thursday and had a quick dinner. The kids couldn't wait to show us everything, so after dinner we took a tour of the area on the golf cart. </center><center style="text-align: left;"><br></center><center style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-xm_JACoHRSE/U10wK6JPJFI/AAAAAAAADHA/56mhsxjx-Os/s640/blogger-image-1440848540.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-xm_JACoHRSE/U10wK6JPJFI/AAAAAAAADHA/56mhsxjx-Os/s640/blogger-image-1440848540.jpg"></a></div></center><center style="text-align: left;"><br></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
We woke up Friday morning to lots of rain. We got ready and ventured out. Our first stop was back in Destin at the Donut Hole. Oh. My. Gosh. Adam and I may drive back just to go there. The place is amazing. I suggest trying one of everything. You won't regret it. </center><center style="text-align: left;"><br></center><center style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Olqq3pHBuz8/U10wUVlQ26I/AAAAAAAADHw/X9qT09rZqsc/s640/blogger-image-2047019565.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Olqq3pHBuz8/U10wUVlQ26I/AAAAAAAADHw/X9qT09rZqsc/s640/blogger-image-2047019565.jpg"></a></div></center><center style="text-align: left;"><br></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
After breakfast we went back to the house and let the kids go to Baytowne Wharf, which is just a golf cart ride away, to play in the arcade. [At this point it is still pouring down rain.] We made the most of it and had some fun playing games. </center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br></center>

The rain finally started to clear up and we got to take a fun bike ride through the area. I snapped this picture on Adam's phone, because of course, mine was dead. </center><center style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-DX7qojZrPN4/U10wRdVybOI/AAAAAAAADHg/XeXffGOVq5s/s640/blogger-image-1502866910.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-DX7qojZrPN4/U10wRdVybOI/AAAAAAAADHg/XeXffGOVq5s/s640/blogger-image-1502866910.jpg"></a></div><br></center><center style="text-align: left;">We then headed back to Baytowne Wharf for dinner. After we ate the kids and Adam did the zip line and a few more things. That's right, Vivie is FOUR and did it. The girl is fearless. The wharf has the cutest shops and the best place to get ice-cream!</center>

The next morning, Saturday, we packed everything up and headed to do a little shopping at the outlets. I scored a few things at Gap! We had lunch with the Tims then said our goodbyes. Adam and I headed to check out the beaches on 30A. We had the best time driving down the highway and stoping in each town to take in everything. We loved it. Adam scored his Easter bow tie while we were there and I got a little seaside lovin!</center><center style="text-align: left;"><br></center><center style="text-align: start;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--yAwjWwe73Y/U1cfePbyHmI/AAAAAAAADFQ/la25vknLEb4/s1600/DSC_0344.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="text-align: center; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><font color="#000000"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--yAwjWwe73Y/U1cfePbyHmI/AAAAAAAADFQ/la25vknLEb4/s1600/DSC_0344.JPG" height="238" width="400"></font></a></center><center style="text-align: left;"><br></center>

Easter was fantastic!</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">

<center style="text-align: left;">
I love, love Easter. We started the day at our church, DWBC. It is always busy for us at church, but we love it. Adam and I got there and did some last minute things in the KidsWay room. I love seeing all the sweet kiddos dressed up in their Easter attire, and they all love showing me their new dresses and outfits. </center>

It is a tradition at Dauphin Way to bring flowers and place them on a wooden cross, in the Great Hall. The cross was gorgeous this year. It is precious to see all the children come with their flowers and place them on the cross. </center>

Week 7 </center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
We spent week 7 celebrating Valentines Day! Thank goodness it fell on a Friday this year. This teacher was very happy. Of course, that meant that I was so tired, by Friday nights, I can barely hold my head up. We didn't go to a fancy restaurant or really do anything out of the normal..it just really isn't our style. We spent the evening eating at Moe's and visiting some of our favorite stores! </center>

</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Week 6 was all about getting back to normal! With an unexpected 3 days off of work, we spent the last week getting back in our groove! </center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
On Thursday night, we had the privilege of attending the annual Light of the Village banquet. We had the best time fellowshipping with some sweet people from our church and learning more about this amazing ministry. If you follow me on instagram, then you saw my post about the candle. Please order one!! They smell amazing and all proceeds go to the Light of the Village. Learn more at lightofthevillage.org</center>

Today, I am finally taking the time to share a couple of new/old recipes that I have made recently. I have been trying very hard, since January, to stick to meal planning and limit my grocery store visits. So far, so good. </center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
The first quick little recipe I wanted to share is one of Adam's favorite dips, we call it "Cold Rotel" and it is easy!!</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
Ingredients</center>
<center>
1 1/2 block of cream cheese (you can use 2 if you want)</center>
<center>
1 can white corn</center>
<center>
1 can rotel (mild)</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
Instructions</center>
<center>
1.Microwave cream cheese for 30 seconds to make soft</center>
<center>
2. Drain can of white corn</center>
<center>
3. Drain 1/2 the can of rotel</center>
<center>
4. Mix cream cheese, corn and rotel in bowl. </center>
<center>
5. Heat in microwave for 30 seconds. </center>
<center>
(You can serve it hot, but we like it cold so I don't heat it long. I then stick it in the refrigerator to cool)</center>
<center>
Serve with corn chips! </center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
I have also been trying different things for dinner. We are totally meat and potato kind of people and sometimes I feel like I make the same ole things. I didn't stray far from our normal meals but I did make them in different ways. </center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Lets start with chicken and rice, one of our favorites. I made it last week, using a variety of different recipes that I found, and eventually just ditched the recipes and created my own thing. </center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: center;">
Ingredients</center>
<center style="text-align: center;">
3-4 chicken breast</center>
<center style="text-align: center;">
2 cups of rice</center>
<center style="text-align: center;">
1 can cream of chicken</center>
<center style="text-align: center;">
1 can cream of celery</center>
<center style="text-align: center;">
1 can cream of mushroom</center>
<center style="text-align: center;">
1 can chicken broth</center>
<center style="text-align: center;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: center;">
Instructions</center>
<center style="text-align: center;">
1. Boil chicken, after chicken has boiled place it in 9x13 pan. (You can shred the chicken, or not, your choice!) Do not drain chicken, you need the broth. </center>
<center style="text-align: center;">
2. Boil rice in the chicken broth </center>
<center style="text-align: center;">
3. In a separate bowl, mix all of the "creams" and 1 cup of the chicken broth together.</center>
<center style="text-align: center;">
4. After rice has boiled, drain and add it to the bowl with the creams. Mix together.</center>
<center style="text-align: center;">
5. Pour rice mixture in 9x13 on top of the chicken. </center>
<center style="text-align: center;">
6. Bake on 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes</center>
<center style="text-align: center;">
-Add a roll with it and your man will be happy! JAT loved this new version of one of our favorites! </center>
<center style="text-align: center;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Have you found that there are soooo many roast recipes out there? I don't think I have made roast the same way since we got married. I have tried several different recipes. A couple of Sundays ago I put one in the crockpot before going to church and it was a hit! </center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: center;">
Ingredients</center>
<center style="text-align: center;">
1 roast (doesn't matter size)</center>
<center style="text-align: center;">
1 pack of dry ranch dressing mix</center>
<center style="text-align: center;">
1 pack of brown gravy mix</center>
<center style="text-align: center;">
1 pack zesty italian</center>
<center style="text-align: center;">
1 cup of water</center>
<center style="text-align: center;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: center;">
Instructions</center>
<center style="text-align: center;">
1. Place roast in crockpot</center>
<center style="text-align: center;">
2. In a bowl, mix gravy mix, dry ranch mix, zesty italian, and 1 cup of water together</center>
<center style="text-align: center;">
3. Pour over roast</center>
<center style="text-align: center;">
4. Leave crockpot on high for 5-6 hours and done! </center>
<center style="text-align: center;">
Super easy, make rice or mashed potatoes with it and you have a meal. We are all about easy in the Tait household. </center>
<center style="text-align: center;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: center;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Ok, last one I want to share. I made this for lunch today and it was just as easy as everything else. </center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: center;">
Ingredients</center>
<center style="text-align: center;">
1 pack of pork chops (I used four)</center>
<center style="text-align: center;">
1 can cream of chicken</center>
<center style="text-align: center;">
1 can cream of mushroom</center>
<center style="text-align: center;">
1 cup of rice</center>
<center style="text-align: center;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: center;">
Instructions</center>
<center style="text-align: center;">
1. Place pork chops in crockpot</center>
<center style="text-align: center;">
2. Pour can of chicken and can of mushroom on top of pork chops. </center>
<center style="text-align: center;">
3. Leave crockpot on high for 4-5 hours</center>
<center style="text-align: center;">
4. Cook rice</center>
<center style="text-align: center;">
5. Pour rice in crockpot and mix with the pork chops.</center>
<center style="text-align: center;">
Beyond easy and it was delicious!</center>
<center style="text-align: center;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: center;">
Now my question for you. Is there something out there that I can use in place of all the "Creams" that recipes call for? I feel like I can't make anything without using a cream of something and I know it can't be that healthy for you. What are your suggestions? </center>
<center style="text-align: center;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">

Living in Mobile, the only time you get weather days is to prepare for a hurricane. Not this time! We heard, Monday afternoon, that we would be out Tuesday and Wednesday due to cold weather and the snow, that we were expected to get. My mind first went to my school kiddos. We really couldn't afford being out two days, we have sooo much to learn, and then I really did not want to add these two days on to the end of school (June 3rd is late enough to get out for summer). Then, the Governor declared state of emergency and that let me know we would not have to make up the days, which ended up to be three. Adam was off work and school, too! </center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
I wanted to share some pictures of our Ice Days!</center>

<center style="text-align: left;">

<center style="text-align: left;">
I started attending Bible Study Fellowship at St. Pauls on Monday nights! So far, I am loving it!</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
We also spent Saturday in my favorite little town, Fairhope, Alabama. </center>

Week 5</div>
<br />
We got word on Monday that we were going to be out of school/work the next two (it turned out to be three) days due to ice and snow. Now I live in Mobile and we NEVER get snow so we were excited! We ended up getting the majority of ice and stayed inside for 3 straight days. We are both ready for warm weather and a normal schedule!<br />
<br />
I braved the cold to snap a few pictures!<br />

Lately, we have been doing things, just the two of us. We are normally surrounded by friends or family on the weekends but lately it has just been us.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
Now let's be honest, JAT and I love spending time together but we also enjoy the company of others. Yesterday was another Saturday where it was just going to be him and I on a little outing, as it was Friday night as well. Does it sound like I am griping? Maybe I am. JAT, nor I, said the obvious, that we both were thinking, .."we wish it weren't just the two of us". (We want so badly to be able to do things with other couples, our age, or in the same stage of life but due to the craziness of that life it never seems to happen.) In that moment of discontent, as I was getting ready for another day with my sweet husband, I had a moment of what I call GREAT THANKFULNESS. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I know, if it be the Lord's will for our life, that it won't always be just the two of us and those days will soon be quickly filled with sweet children. And with children comes parties, play dates, school events, church events and the list could go on forever. So today, as I was just getting ready for what seemed like JUST another day I stopped and thanked my God for this exact moment in our life. The days where it is just the two of us. I thanked Him for giving me a husband who loves Christ more than he loves me, and a husband who will do just about anything to put a smile on my face. I LOVE spending time with my husband and I am thankful for every moment we get to spend together. I wouldn't have it any other way. I will savor every moment of time with JAT. Instead of being aggravated or what JAT would call just plain ill (I will admit I get like that sometimes, ok maybe a lot) I am choosing great thankfulness.<br />
<br />
PS: We had a fabulous weekend. Friday night we ate at one of our favorite spots downtown Mobile and then had our favorite coffee from Carpe.<br />

Saturday we spent the day in one of my favorite little towns, Fairhope, Alabama. We grabbed lunch and more coffee while we were there. We also enjoyed going in all the unique shops the downtown area has to offer.<br />

<center>
We spent week 3 of 2014 celebrating Adam's Birthday. We celebrated hard. Almost a solid week of eating out with family. </center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
We started by eating at one of our favorites, Moes BBQ. We joined Adam's parents and extended family for dinner and had a blast.</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
Adam's absolute favorite thing in this world is a doughnut. </center>
<center>
Give him one and he is happy for a week. </center>
<center>
It only seemed right for his birthday cake to be a doughnut cake. </center>

Adam and I did a little piddling around on Tuesday, his actual birthday. We had dinner then went to Academy to pick out his birthday present! When you birthday falls during the week that is about as much celebrating you get in one night..5:30 comes too early the next morning. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On Thursday, my mom and Yvonne came down to spend the night and take us to dinner at Ed's Seafood Shed, another one of our favorites. We love when they get to come town! </div>

School is back in session! My 22 students were originally suppose to be back on Tuesday (Jan 7th), but due to cold weather and a 2hr start delay, I didn't see all of them until Thursday.<br />
<div>
I really dreaded going back to school, and still not thrilled about the fact, but I will say, I love the routine. If you haven't already figured it out, the Tait family runs better on a routine.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
After spending 1/2 the weekend at school, we did manage to fit in some fun! We went, with other people we go to church with, to a friends house to "shoot guns". Adam got a gun for Christmas so we thought it would be fun! It really was...just totally not something you would normally find us doing! We aren't the typical woods/gun type. <span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">I have told you before that I married a complete city boy! </span></div>
<div>

My goal for 2014 is to post a picture each week! I want to get better at blogging the little moments, that happen in our life, as well as, the big moments.<br />

Week 1..</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We had a very low key NYE. We traveled back from my hometown earlier that night so we decided to just stay home. Weird as it sounds, I love nothing more than being at home. I am a total homebody..Adam, not so much, but we both enjoyed ringing in the new year at home in our pajamas! </div>

We started participating in Carpe Diem's Santa Run last year with the Tims family. Carpe is our favorite coffee shop in Mobile. We declared the Santa Run a Tims/Tait tradition so this year was no different.</center>

<span style="font-size: large;"><u>Christmas Day<br /></u></span></center>
<center>
This year we decided to stay in Mobile on Christmas Eve night and I am so glad. We both enjoyed waking up at our house on Christmas morning. I made a breakfast casserole and we went back to my in-laws house to enjoy it and them on Christmas morning! </center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
After breakfast, (the car already packed) we headed to Toxey. I could not wait to get there. I know I only live about 2 hours away but I seem to miss my hometown more and more. </center>

I am thankful for another Christmas with my sweet grandmother. She is one of the strongest women I know. The Christmas season is hard for her. She celebrates my Grandfather's birthday, who she misses with every breath, a few days after Christmas and the anniversary of the death of my Uncle Dexter just two days after that. </center>

The Tims also visit Toxey during the holidays. The boys always try to channel their "inner hunter" but it NEVER seems to work. Poor Fisher just wants to kill a deer but has no luck when the other two are with him! </center>

We also visited one of my favorite little towns, Philadelphia, Mississippi. Adam, Mom, Yvonne, and I headed over there the Monday after Christmas to shop around their downtown area. They really have the neatest stores. We also visit the Williams Brothers General Store. It's a tradition that we bring my Grandmother back bacon and cheese, she says it's better from the general store! </div>

I can't believe our 2nd Christmas, as a family, is over. Time is flying by. Adam and I have loved being with our family and friends during the holidays. Work is knocking on the door and I don't even want to think about it. For now though, Merry Christmas from our little family.</center>
<center>
We hope you had the happiest of holidays!! </center>
