This is so sad.....

I recently saw a picture that my friend posted on face book of the oil
on Pensacola Beach. I am so sad about this and felt like I needed to share
this with my friends on blogger.


Although this is horrible, I know that we can come out of it. It is just so sad
that we have to go through this again, and this time it hit the beaches we love
to go too.

I'm not sure if you remember this but in 1993, three vessels collided at the entrance to Tampa Bay leaving more than 300,000 gallons of heavy oil and another 33,000 gallons of jet fuel in their wake. When the oil finally hit shore, the black goo tarred a 13-mile stretch of the beautiful beaches. Had the '93 spill occurred inside the bay, the results would have been devastating. Lush mangrove and marsh fringe, and fertile grassbeds, would have been destroyed. "It would have been a real nightmare," says Rossbach. "It would have changed the entire way we responded, turning a three-week response effort into I can't even speculate how long." We would still be cleaning up years later, and the costs would likely have exceeded the companies' liability, forcing taxpayers to pick up the tab.We were so lucky that this did not occur, therefore they were able to clean up our beautiful beaches and get them back to the way they were before.

Hopefully, we are able to recover from this recent oil spill and the result back to our beautiful beaches.

One of my wonderful friends is getting married this Saturday. We met during football season, and have grown to be such great friends. Cassie, is the new trainer, Mike Miller's fiance, soon to be wife. Justin and I are so excited for them, and can not wait to share some wonderful times with them. We are so sad we will not get to share their special day with them, although we know their day will be beautiful and know that Cassie is going to be a beautiful bride. We know they will have a wonderful time on their honeymoon in Jamaica, but can't wait for them to return so we can help them settle into their new home, and not to mention Cassie into her new classroom. Way to go Cassie Miller, 3rd grade teacher at Brewton Elementary School.
WE LOVE YOU GUYS!


Sharing this special day, Lauren Cauley and Josh Adams. Lauren is the sister of one of Justin's close friends. We can not wait to share in the joy of their marriage Saturday and catch up with some of our friends we have not seen in a while on their special day.

Vacation Bible School :Saddle Ridge Ranch

Recently we had Vacation Bible School at First Baptist Church in Brewton. The theme was Saddle Ridge Ranch( which by the way was the cutest theme, and which you can do a lot with).

I had the opportunity of working with the four year old class and pre-kindergarten class. Each day we had a range of 33-35 four year old and five year old children. Although it was a busy time, we had a fabulous time getting to know some of the children we did not know as well as working with the children we did know. This opportunity gave me quite an experience of working with this age group, as this is the age group I would love to work with during my teaching career.

Here are a few pictures of VBS 2010:
