Happy Valentines Day to all my Friends!!
This has been a quiet Valentine Day in our home since we've both been working, at opposite times, me 10-5 and brandon 7-7. We plan to do something fun this week since we are on our spring break. Valentines Day is great, but we don't need a special day to show each other how much we care about each other. It is fun though sometimes. The picture above is the cover of the card I made for Brandon this year. I always love making him a super fun classic valentines day card! He brought me home a really thoughtful card, which is my main requirement for Valentines Day. I've been trying to re-cap all I missed not blogging regularly, but I've decided I've done the most I can, and will just look forward to what is happening currently in our lives. So I hope everyone will keep reading, there are pictures to accompany what comes next!

Some of the things I LOVE this Valentines Day... in no particular order... other then the first picture!
I love my husband! He's a smart, handsome, great guy! I know he is going to be an amazing teacher- sometimes I wish he was going to teach elementary because I see him in nursery and he's just so wonderful with the little kiddies. Brandon is wonderful to live with, he is neat and tidy and I appreciate that so much. He pitches in around the house and we share in the cooking. We've recently started going to the gym at school and he is so patient with me as I'm learning the routine he's figuring out for me. He's fun to be around and makes me so happy!
I Love that I'm going to be a TEACHER! and I love being at the mount, we have a great family and have a lot of fun together. We do so many fun and silly activities that you can't help but smile when you are there. This is a picture of pretty much the entire program one friday afternoon in seminar we got to participate in Right to Play... we learned a lot of fun games that we could do with our students. Can anyone find me?? I love being in my practicum, I have a small sixth grade class of 13 students and I'm so excited to be back with them again, learning more with them and getting to know them even more!!
I Love My Family! Both the Bing and the O'Hearon side. I couldn't be more blessed to have such an amazing family. We love spending time with each other and always have so much fun. There are so many amazing people in these two pictures, they all have their own awesome qualities, talents and abilities! I am so looking forward to building even closer relationships with everyone in my family! They are the BEST ever!! If you don't know them you should, you don't know what your missing!!!
I Love My Nieces and Nephews! Sometimes people think I have children because I talk about them so much, but that's not the case. I just love them all so so much!! They make my day brighter whenever I get to talk to them! I love asking them about school now that I'm going to be a teacher. I want to encourage them all to learn lots and love reading so that they can have the best education ever. I love watching them succeed. I love hearing them learning to talk, and talking my ear off. They are just the coolest kids around and I love when they come over to visit us at our home. I also love that my sister is having another baby, I love being able to cuddle and snuggle her new babies because she just lets me hold them whenever i want to, and I don't have to worry about having to ask her! I love feeling the baby move and I love telling the baby that I'm going to be his/her favorite auntie!
I Love my Friends! I have been blessed to have some wonderful friends. I tend to be a home body and need to change my ways and go hangout with people more, these great people are able to get me out! Sonja and I have been friends since 12th grade in High School, and we turned into each others best friend, and she's been with me through so much and I appreciate her so much!! My Survivor girls are awesome too, we go way back to elementary school, and I always know that they will be an important part of my life. I am so looking forward to many of their up coming weddings, they will be great days!! I have so many other wonderful friends and I don't have the time to write abut you all, but I love love love everyone... church friends, work friends, school friends, OTH friends etc!!
I Love Babies! I love that my friends have cute babies and I love seeing them and holding them and seeing all their cute little outfits!!! I love celebrating in the joy of my friends pregnancies and new arrivals! I can't wait until we have our own someday, we have a little time before that happens but we do talk about it often! I'm excited for the whole experience! I work around the cutest baby clothes EVER and I'm so excited to have children some day so I can dress them up really cute!! Lyla is the cutie up top, Julia brought her by the nursery to show me her outfit that I gave her, and can I say toooooo CUTE! Karington is on the bottom and she is the girliest girl and I love it... her bows and bracelets!! So much fun, when I hangout around her I want a little girl so so so much!!
Those are just a few little things that I love this Valentines Day I hope you are all appreciating the loved ones in you lives and all the things you love this Valentines Day!!
Love Karen

You can have all the snuggles you want with the new baby.......quite frankly I think it makes the kids less weird around other people. I love my babies but like to know they can be happy when I'm not around.......hopefully we are looking at 24 days or less till new baby is here......hope you had a fun day even though you worked seperate schedules.....we had chinese with D&L and watched a movie. I agree that you don't need a "holiday" to celebrate.....cute card by the way.....chat with you later!!!
Karen, you're such a wonderful person. You will make a super mom especially since you're already an amazing aunt. You are truly blessed with a great family on both sides of you and it will definitely be a benefit to you when you have children. I love your enthusiasm about life in general and you always make me feel good being around you. Your talents are incredible and the card for Brandon is just a small example. The game you played there in at the Mount, we did the same one at one of our PDays. You are going to make a wonderful teacher. When you love someone, everyday can be Valentines.
You're so sweet! You will be a wonderful mom someday, so patient!! I have never been a big Vanetine's Day person but it's still nice when you're remembered. Glad you got your card! Phil and I didn't do much since he got home late, I got roses the other day when he was off and then we got Chinese. You're such a great friend!! love ya!!
And I love you Karen!!!
Its a shame you really aren't going to be baby 5's favorite aunt... I am =)
Aww this is such an uplifting post! I *LOVE LOVE LOVE* the top pic of you and Brandon! And Laura's comment is hilarious! :o)
you always make the cutest cards...you are one talented girl. I can just envision what a great teacher you will be....just like the amazing nursery leader that you are.
Karen,
I left the recipe for you on your fb page. Also, I bought buttermilk but don't. You can make your own, just google how to. I think all you do is add vinegar to milk. Also, the recipe calls for a lot of oil but don't leave any of it out. I know it seems like a lot but that is what makes it so moist! Enjoy and let me know how it turns out.
Such a fun post!! I love that you and Brandon work out together....Nate and I used to run and play tennis a lot, but pregnancy and kids tend to put a damper on that, so enjoy it while you can!!
I'm glad you had a nice Valentine's Day. We never do much cuz our Anniversary is just a few weeks before and my birthday is a weeks after!!
I Loved your update. You are super awesome.
WHAT????????? No picture of MOI? Just kidding! Loved the post. I'm so glad I'm totally updated! You and Brandon make such a cute couple and I love all the things you love. They're good things!
So...Happy Valentines Day to you!
Dex and I miss ya out here!
I love that you made a list of your loves! What a great post! I think you will be an awesome teacher, I know Halle LOVES having you be her nursery teacher and I know she's not the only one!
I can't get over how nice you are Karen! You have such a great family...hope to see you again soon.
