This past weekend my sweet hubby and I flew to Omaha, Nebraska to take part in our friends wedding. We met them through the Air Force in California and we all became great friends. They found out that Timmy is a licensed minister and they asked him to officiate the wedding. They actually got married almost two years ago, but wanted a fancy wedding for their family and friends to be a part of. It was very beautiful and they looked so happy. Here are just a few pictures from the wedding.<br />

The hubby and I have been talking about getting Jack a puppy friend for a while. We knew that at some point I would go to work and we didn't want him to be all alone all day long. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We went by <a href="http://www.warl.org/" target="_blank">WARL</a> on Tuesday so that Jack could play with a 7 month old black lab mix girl. But, they didn't play and she seemed like she wanted to be boss, which we don't need.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I then went and looked in the small dog/puppy room. In one of the kennels there were two or three black lab mix puppies. We had seen one of them a few days ago. So they brought her out to play with Jack. They went crazy with all the playing that was going on. Within minutes they were best buds. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Because we had already adopted from there before the process was simple and we were able to bring her home that night.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We named her Lady and she is around 3 months old, but we are still not sure on that. The vet said we would know her age for sure once she starts teething.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She's adorable and Jack loves her to death!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
But, I still didn't have a job or had any interviews. In Maryland, the districts are divided by counties. So I applied for a job in my county and the surrounding counties. Still nothing. My father-in-law (a former principal), my mother-in-law (teacher/presenter extraordinaire), my parents (just plain ol' smart), AND my hubby (brilliant and raised by educators) all suggested that I stop by the nearby elementary schools to meet the principals and drop off my resume.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I went to the district website and looked up the schools in my neighborhood. There is only one elementary school. I got all pretty and drove over there. I asked to see the principal and WAHLA, there she was, nice as can be, and very impressed that I took the initiative to come by the school and drop off my resume (thanks Y'ALL)! She said they didn't have any positions at the time, but she would keep my resume just in case. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I left and got in my car, and as I was leaving I noticed a school across the street. I drove over there and it was ANOTHER elementary school. Apparently the district is divided into smaller districts and this one wasn't "in" my neighborhood on the map. The principal wasn't there, but I left my resume anyway. This all happened two Mondays ago.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Last Monday I get a call. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's the principal from the first school.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A teacher had to leave because of a family emergency.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Can I come in for an interview?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Why yes, I can!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The interview was great. Probably the least nervous I've ever been. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
30 minutes after arriving I'm being asked to join the team as a 3rd grade teacher!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yes PLEASE!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/535732_10103600818607524_86667470_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/535732_10103600818607524_86667470_n.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For the next few days afterwards I was at inservices and signing paperwork.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But today, I am at the school for my first day! The kiddos come in on August 19th so I need to get my room all ready!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I plan on posting before and after classroom pics as soon as I get my key!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am a little nervous to be teaching 3rd grade (since I've only taught 1st and 2nd), but know that I learn fast and am very flexible.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
God is great and is truly looking out for the hubby and I during our Air Force adventure. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I miss my last school and colleagues so much! I learned so much from those two years and will forever be grateful for all they did for me!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have a FANTASTIC day and God Bless!</div>

I enjoy fashion. I'm not always as bold and confident as others, but I try. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I decided that I'm going to try and do a "Charlotte's Closet" post each week. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This outfit just happens to be from last Saturday. The hubby and I decided to drive a ways to go eat at the Macaroni Grill and then shop a little. I wanted to be chic, but also really comfortable.</div>

Up until June I had never owned a <strike>dog</strike> animal. Now that we have sweet Jack I can't imagine a life without a dog. Now that I've said that, let me tell you some of the things I've learned.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-frc3/971722_10103591174629134_1969576852_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-frc3/971722_10103591174629134_1969576852_n.jpg" width="426" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. dogs have accidents in the house sometimes. they can be trained. but it happens. and, guess what, it can be cleaned.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. dogs shed. a lot. and Jack is black. fun times.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. puppies like to play. they are puppies. oh, and their play isn't like, "throw the ball to me mommy!" no, it's "i'm gonna bite your hand and foot now. hope that's ok." turns out you can also train them to stop that. huh.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4. not all doggies run and pounce their food bowl when you fill it. Jack is a grazer and eats his food slowly throughout the day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
5. puppies chew things. anything and everywhere. this is also something you can train them not to do. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
6. loose leash training sucks.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
7. doggies lick everything. doesn't matter what it is they will lick it. including this computer that i'm typing on. all. the. time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
8. Jack loves to be brushed. he friggen purrs. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
9. doggies are great snugglers. this is my favorite.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm sure I'll learn a ton more. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Enjoy and God Bless!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Let's all go down memory lane to a very special day. Hubby and I enjoyed our wedding so much. We talk about it all the time and wish we could go back and do it all over again. Except without all the stress. I didn't eat all day I was so nervous and then chowed down at the wedding once I knew we had pulled it off!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is our sweet cake topper. You see, I collect vintage cake toppers. One day I am going to do a post about them (once I find out which box I packed them in). It was the week before our wedding and I realized I hadn't bought a cake topper. Oh wait, duh, I have <strike>one</strike> a collection! I chose the one that looked like it fit the wedding theme the most and popped it on top! It was perfect and so special.</div>

Have you ever found something that can brighten your day no matter what you're going through?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/14-000-Things-Happy-About/dp/0761147217/ref=pd_sim_b_5" target="_blank"><i>14,000 things to be happy about.</i> by Barbara Ann Kipfer</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
When I find a happy thing that I really like or have experienced I highlight it. It's nice to see all the highlighted happiness inside the book. Reminds me that life isn't stressful, sad, or depressing. Life is wonderful, exciting, and happy.</div>

Ever since I started my blog, a few years back, I have been creating my blog design. Not because I was a FABULOUS graphic designer, but because I was cheap. My only follower was my mother and I didn't see the need to spend a ton of money on a design.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Because of this I began learning the Photoshop Elements ropes. Let me tell ya, it ain't easy. I do a lot of searching. A lot of trial and error. A lot of trashing my work. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh, and did I mention that I also had to learn HTML and CSS so that I could actually apply all these wonderful designs to the blog. Jeepers! I'm surprised my head didn't explode!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But once I got both things down I was set. I still don't think that my blog design is worthy of any esteemed blog designers praise, but I think it's pretty cool.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not only do I design my blog, but I also design my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/CharlotteisChaCha" target="_blank">etsy shop</a>, business cards, <a href="http://charlotteswtblog.blogspot.com/search/label/freebie" target="_blank">freebies</a>, and classroom worksheets and goodies for <a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Charlotte-Hollinger" target="_blank">TeachersPayTeachers</a>. Again, I am no master, but I love it and it makes me happy to hear someone tell me, "That was exactly how I envisioned it in my mind!"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This past week I was approached by a fellow etsy seller and blogger. She was very sweet and had asked if I created all of the designs that I use on my blog. Why yes I do! She needed new business cards and a banner for trade shows that she attends. She had a very specific idea and design and asked if I would take on the task of creating these for her. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strike>Hell Yes!</strike> Yes ma'am, I would love to!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So she created a pinterest board full of her inspirations for the design and I created what I envisioned them to be. She loved them and so do I!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This whole thing got me thinking, "I could do that! I could have a design shop!" And so I started one. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can now say that I've had my first paying client in my <a href="http://charlotteswtblog.blogspot.com/p/design.html" target="_blank">design shop</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Check out my designs. So far there are only the products I've made, but I plan on adding some that are pre-made.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, what do ya think?<br />
