Well, it's almost been two years since I've even posted, so I figured I would update!

I'm in the big city of Memphis, TN and loving it!! Since my last post I've....

Gotten married (he cooks!!!)

Hired as a 5th grade teacher

Moved from 5th to Kindergarten

Found out today I'm moving from Kindergarten to 5th

Celebrated a 1 year anniversary!

My life has been pretty crazy lately, but I'm really enjoying it! My husband and I have been enjoying a wonderful life together! Life has given us lemons that's for sure, but we've had a lot of lemonade to make up for it! I'm really liking teaching, I miss my 5th graders and I'm so glad I get them back! However, kindergarten has been great for the week I've been here. I'd love to hear from some of you again so feel free to post! I'm also on Facebook (look me up Anna Douthitt Barbour)!

I hope all of you out there are well and have been blessed as much as I have over the last 2 years! Keep in touch and if you're ever in Memphis, please look me up and we'd love to have you!!

All right, I know it's been over a year since I updated so I figure I better update again. Things have really been happening since I've updated. Let's just say, I'm so happy that God had a plan for me and that it has slowly been revealed to me.

First, I moved to Collierville, TN (Memphis) this summer in hopes of finding a job. I spent the entire summer looking and waiting. Finally during the last week of July, I had an interview with the county and then a school and then I had a job at a wonderful school about 10 minutes away from our house. It has been a dream come true! I'm teaching 5th grade Science/Social Studies/Spelling. I am working with wonderful teachers and we have an excellent principal.

Second, just when I thought things couldn't get any better, they did. A wonderful guy that I go to church with asked me out. I went ahead and said yes not knowing what to expect. I am so glad I said yes. He's been amazing!! We saw each other every day for the first week we dated and since then we've spent each night on the phone with each other. He's taken me to some wonderful places and we've gotten to know each other amazingly well in just the past few weeks. I believe God had his hand in this one because I don't think I could've found someone as wonderful as David. Could he be the one?

I hope all is going well with you in the Pleo world. I'll try to remember to update, but with the new job, I don't have a whole lot of time. Have a wonderful week and praise God always!

Hey guys! I know I know...it's been a long time, but I'm here to add an exciting update!

Naomi Reagan Sweets arrived August 3, 2006! 5 weeks early, but doing great and gets to come home tomorrow! She weighed 5lbs 5.5oz and is 17 in long!

I woke up yesterday morning at 7:45 to a phone call telling me to get to Nashville and get to the hospital. I jumped out of bed and got all my clothes packed and headed to Nashville pulling in about the same time as my parents from Memphis. We spent the morning at Baptist hospital playing Scrabble and waiting.

Finally about 2:10 pm Naomi entered the world with a great set of lungs! We were all so excited! Mom was on one cell phone, I was on another and dad was on his calling all the family to let them know!

So I've had a total change of plans, but for the best! If anyone needs to reach me, I'll be in Nashville till further notice!

Hope everyone is doing great and had a great summer!

Hey guys, I know it's been forever since I updated, but I have just had other priorities that have been taking over my life. Let's see where to begin....ah...April
In April my dad found out that he got the job he'd interviewed for in Memphis! (Yay Dad!) He's now Chief Medical Officer at Methodist South. So all this seems great, right? WRONG! Dad's new job means we have to move :-( I was very sad about this at first because home has been home for 21 years for me and 23 years for my mom, dad, sister and brother. So now we have this huge for sale sign in our yard and it really is sad. The other sad thing is that dad has moved already and we only get to see him on weekends when he makes that four hour drive home. Mom and Lydia have been staying home to try and sale the house and I'm here in Bowling Green taking a summer class (Ed Psych). So far we've had no offers on our house, but we have had some people look at it (Anyone want to buy a house?) Mom is moving most of her stuff to Memphis in July to the apartment that my dad is living in and then she'll come home periodically to check on the house. All this is sad, but the hardest part is leaving the congregation in Springfield. Recently we've had a few families to leave and my dad is one of three elders there and we've been at the congregation for 23 years. The church in Springfield is a very strong group and I admire them and I will miss those who have taught me to be the Christian that I am today. The joy of this news is that we get to meet Christians in another part of the state and help further the gospel to those who are of need.

Lydia is headed to FC in the fall and she is extremely excited about it and is counting down the days. I will miss her a lot, but I'm glad she gets to experience FC like her siblings did.

I'm staying here in good ole BG and trying to finish school. I have a year and a half left and I can't wait to be done.

Sorry I haven't updated in so long, but I will try to be a little bit better this fall! Hope all of you are having a great summer!

So I'm reading through the Princess Diaries series when I come upon on one of the greatest quotes ever!! I'm posting it here for all of you to enjoy!

"Men are like little woodland creatures. You have to lure them to you with tiny breadcrumbs and soft words of encouragement. You cannot simply whip out a rock and conk them over the head with it."

Anyways, hope everyone is doing well!!
