And now a word from Mrs. Hassall

I thought I better update this. It's been a month and a half since we were married...and boy has it flown by! October was definitely a busy month with the wedding, reception, moving, and 6 birthdays to celebrate! I'm still trying to get my stuff organized in the house, but I figure it will eventually get done. I need to work on getting things organized in the kitchen, especially since the new range will be delivered soon! Yippy!!!!!

I'm still waiting for schools to add me to their substitute lists. I can't believe how long it's taking. I've had things submitted to 2 schools since the beginning of September, but one school lost my stuff, and I finally got all the paperwork submitted to the other school. I've also applied at two other schools, which I'll need to check in with next week after the holidays. I don't know why it's taking so long...it never took this long with the schools in the Ames/Des Moines area. I guess I'm just a little anxious to get in the schools...the days are getting a little boring at home. :)

Well, I guess I should do some stuff around here...like make the Pumpkin Maple-Pecan Cheesecakes for Thanksgiving tomorrow! :)

An End and a New Beginning

Today was my last day of work at the DOT's District 1 Office. I'm looking forward to the next stage in my life...getting married! 3 days from now I'll be Rosalyn Hassall. (Ok, here's a fun little comparison of my names. Berrett... consonant, vowel, two consonants that are the same, same vowel, two other consonants that are the same. Now looking at Hassall...same description! I know, just call me strange.)

I am so excited for Sunday to come and I can start my life with Alan. I love that man!

11 Days!

Yep, 11 days until our wedding day! I'm very excited!!!!!

Love you, Alan!

Less than 2 months!

The past month has gone by quickly. It's been busy with wedding planning. Hard to believe in less than 2 months, I'll be a married woman! October will be a busy month with a wedding, a wedding reception, 6 birthdays, moving, and applying for substitute teaching positions. And I can't wait!!!!!!

Here's a picture from our engagement session, taken by my very talented sister!

Update

Wow! It's been awhile since I've posted on here! Things have been going very well over the past couple of months. Labor Day weekend I met Alan.

I am so happy we met! He is such a nice, handsome, genuine guy. He knows how to make me feel special...something I haven't felt in a long time! This picture was taken just a couple days ago while we were at his parents' house. It was my first time meeting them. We got along very well! As they say, someone will come along when you least expect it! :)

Last night Bea was acting like a puppy (well, she still is young, but she was so playful!). She was chasing balls, running with her squeaky bone through the house, and then came the mirror. She has a ball that talks when you move it. She was playing with it, and it ended up in front of a mirror (I still have to hang that sucker!). I thought at first she was just barking at the "other" dog. Then I realized she was trying to get the ball, but every time she went after it, so did the "other" dog. That's when she would bark. It was just hilarious! I tried to take a video of it with my cell phone, but it was too dark inside the house.

Well, just a short little entry today! :)
