It brings people together often for a good day of laughter and fun. This year I turned 27. My birthday was on a Friday and I had taken the week off from work to finish up all grad school homework. We laid in bed for a long time and Garrett pretended to stay asleep so he wouldn't lead on to the surprise he left me in the house! I went into the hall to turn the heat up and when I opened the bedroom door there were BALLOONS, STREAMERS, SIGNS, PARTY HATS, and CANDY waiting for me all over the house! What a fun surprise! It was so nice spending the day with Garrett. We laid low at home, watched some movies and ran a few errands. Garrett went off to work at 2 and I was home alone until my mom came over later that evening.<br />
<br />
I am definitely my mother's daughter. We goofed off all night and she even came up with the silly idea to move all the decorations into different places around the house, all balloons were in the bathtub, the door streamers we put on his side of the bed! it was also mom's ides to hide from Garrett when he got home from work! Ha ha. What I didn't know was that my sneaky mother and husband had planned a family birthday surprise Saturday afternoon. HERE'S TO A GREAT YEAR BEING 27!<br />

Being married to a 22 year old bottom-less pit makes the grocery budget hard to maintain. Lucky for me he will eat anything, BUT olives and pickles. SO with a few left over ingredients in our pantry I came up with Chicken N Dumpling soup.<br />
<br />
Now I wish I could tell you what I put into the soup and how much of what went into it, but I never measure and never know how its going to taste when its finished. I must admit it was delicious and I had a HAPPY husband!<br />

These moments are especially fun when she attends school where I work! The first graders celebrate the 100th day of school with costumes, songs, and a parade around the school. Well, Emma isn't a first grader, but we had been planning a special project together for the 100th day of school.<br />
<br />
One evening while I was watching Emma we decided to make a special shirt for the 100th day of school. We came up with a tally mark design and Emma chose all the colors and the order they went on the shirt. I finished the shirt and took it to school for Emma to wear. Her teacher had her stand in front of her class and discussed the 100 tally marks! Oh course Emma loved the attention. The first grade teachers loved the design and asked for the template for next school year. Here is the before and after...<br />

to be a lot harder than I thought!! Garrett and I threw around several
dates for our wedding. I love the patterns of numbers and I have always
tried to use my favorite number, 5, in parts of my life or find it in
the numbers around me. For instance, I was the number 12 in softball
during college. 5 was already taken, sad, but 5+7 (my other favorite
number) = 12! ha ha... so Garrett and I tossed around Oct. 5th 2012,
January 5, 2013 as possible wedding dates. The decision to get married
January 5, 2013 as our wedding date. It best suited all parties
involved.<br />
<br />
I was having a real sad feeling about that
date because planning a winter wedding was something I never imagined
for myself. Garrett and I started per-marriage counseling soon after our
engagement and during that time we decided that we were going to choose
a date that worked for us, and decided to get married sooner. <span style="font-size: large;">August 12, 2012</span> was the day we would hold our actual wedding.<br />
<br />
We
began planning an engagement party to make sure our out of town family
would be able to make it out our wedding. We also spilled the beans to
out of town family too that we would be getting married in August. As
the day came closer, our counselors helped us realize that my family
would be very saddened to know it was my wedding the day of.<br />
<br />
We
began to share with family members that the day had been changed, and
when the real wedding would take place. Many were happy, a few were
confused, and some were sad. I shared in the sadness too, especially
with my sister Lindsay. I was risking her not being at the wedding with
the new baby on the way, and unsure of how life would be after the
birth.<br />
<br />
Planning turned into high gear, and within 3 weeks, our WEDDING was here!!! <br />

It was a beautiful, HOT day! We had so many people there helping set
up and organize the ceremony and reception site. We planned a small
wedding, at the Red Cross Building downtown Vancouver. We held the
ceremony outside on the brick patio, and the reception was inside the
beautiful historic building. Here are little glimpses of our BIG day!<br />

Getting
ready at my little tiny apartment, which was a total mess!!! My hair
and make-up was done by Jessica Gandy. I originally decided that I was
going to do my own hair and make-up to save money, but last minute (the
week before) I had asked Jessica. The story behind that, Jessica was a
neighborhood girl that Kelsey and I went to school with along with
Jessica's brother. I happened to look on facebook and liked Jessica's
hair. I just emailed her and asked if it was something she would be
interested in doing. Jessica lives in Idaho now, and was going to be
visiting family in Vancouver the weekend of the wedding so she was
delighted to help!! LUCKY ME!! Jessica flew in the night before the
wedding and we met to go over what I was thinking for hair and make-up!
She did a fabulous job, and my hair stayed for most of the honeymoon!!<br />

Flowers
were all local and hand picked. I went to Dave's Dahlias, Saturday
morning and picked most of what I could. Dave and his wife life down the
street from my mom's house. Mrs. Radkie taught as our local elementary
school. She was my sister's teacher and also Garrett's teacher! She also
sings in church with my Grandma!! I loved having so many connections in
making this wedding! My BFF Kara also recommended Wayne's Dahlias.Wayne
and his wife are a retired couple that own a beautiful dahlia farm. I
walked down the rows and marked the flowers I wanted for the wedding.
They picked and wrapped them for me, which made making arrangements very
easy!<br />

The
details of our wedding were so simple. I designed the wedding program

wedding colors<br />

We
had so much fun celebrating our new marriage with family and friend!!
We left the wedding in Garrett's truck and headed to a surprise (for me)
honeymoon. We headed east out to the Gorge. We spent 3 days at the
Skamania Lodge. We entered the room filled with decorations! Garrett's
aunts came to the room before the wedding and decorated it with a sign,
candles, and flowers!! It was great, I have never had a sign before! Our
room came complete with a bottle of wine and glasses, I'm not sure if
we were supposed to leave the glasses but I took them to remember our
stay (plus, my mom has hers from their honeymoon!). We also had
complementary breakfast, which I was in love with! SO MUCH BACON!! and a
s'more package to roast at their fire pit. More to come from the honeymoon adventures!!!<br />

Conrad Thomas Herling</h2>
Christmas 2011 was the away Christmas for the Wack family. Lindsay was in Spokane with the Herlings, and Kelsey was in Portland with the Bradachs. We decided to celebrate Christmas on December 31 instead. All 8 of us headed up to the Bradach's cabin go spend a Christmas ringing in the New Year! Lindsay, always being thoughtful and creative, gave us each a present to open at the same time! Kelsey and I opened up cute little onsies saying "my auntie is the best" and mom and dad each opened a children's book about visiting grandma and visiting grandpa! We all screamed with joy that bear got overly excited too!! As the Wack girls do, we all began prepping, planning, and preparing for the new arrival!!! <br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> July 29, 2012</span><br />
was the BIG day for Lindsay and Evan!!!Plus, it was another boy!!!!<br /><br />

<br />
It all started back in late April 2011. I was working away at Lake Shore Elementary School, taking my students down to the cafeteria for breakfast. Out of the corner of my eye, and by the trash cans of course, I saw a very nice looking guy throwing his breakfast away with the students. A quick and random thought popped into my head, "I wonder if I am supposed to meet this guy?" Being shocked from where that stemmed from I went about my work day. Through the rest of the week and the weeks to come this handsome fellow would pop into breakfast with an adorable little girl. They would sit down and enjoy a humorous meal together before she was off to class. Some days he would even be wearing his fire fighter blues!! Soon enough, I started crunching numbers in my head thinking how old this guy is to have a daughter in kindergarten already! Well, it turns out that a co-worker of mine knew this young man...it is her nephew. She was telling me all about him, "comes from a great family, wants to be a fire fighter, works at a car wash." I wasn't really ready for anything serious, especially coming from the last loser I dated.... I simply replied, "I don't really want to be dating a 20 year old who works at a car wash and has a daughter. I need to focus on school and work." OUCH! ha ha... she politely informed me that the adorable little girl was his 6 year old sister!! A few days later we were properly introduced, and I waited for him to contact me. 3 days later I learned that he had been searching and searching for me on the famous FACEBOOK.... but no luck. It proves that creepers can't find me since I'm not listed as my full name! So I looked him up and we began chatting.<br />
<br />
In typical Courtney fashion, I don't like waiting for things or wasting my time. We had been chatting all day and nothing was going anywhere yet, typical, so I just laid it out there... "Do you want to go bowling sometime?" <i>"Sure when?</i>' "Tonight!!" That was May 11,2011. Since that day we were always together, except when he was working at the fire station. We had a wonderful year together until.... he made it official!<br />
<br />

<br />
A day I will never forget.... Garrett James Riley had been
contacting all the women in our lives to ask me a very important
question. He lined them up along a stretch of road leading to his house
and gave them all a very important sign. With an early morning phone
call, "Can you come pick me up?! I have a flat tire and need to get to
work." I was out the door, headed to go rescue my love. Little did I
know what was soon to follow...<br />

Its constantly changing with each second which makes it unpredictable and challenging. These are two things that keep me from being bored and pushing myself to be a better educator. Throughout the year I have made several projects to help students transition, communicate, be independent, and learn social skills. Creating tools to help the students function throughout the day with little staff involvement gets the student one more step closer to inclusion with general education peers, and more ready for life. Below I have listed just a few of the many projects for students in my classroom!<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"> These are transitioning sticks I adapted for a student. I say "check
schedule" and the student will take the stick, walk to their schedule,
put the stick in the pocket, and grab the next icon off the schedule.
These are adapted because there are bigger (help with grasping) than the
other sticks we use and colorful (high interest).</td></tr>

I have many more exciting tools that are in the classroom. I will be posting those as I get pictures!! I hope you enjoyed taking a peek into how I prepare for school days in a SPED classroom!CourtneyAnnehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06055766631886677072noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7759136188583211489.post-13793170327153017392011-09-25T12:33:00.000-07:002011-09-25T12:36:27.698-07:00EVAN WILLIAMS is at it again!!<div><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;">Below is an email I received from the father of two of my former students and also in home clients. Evan and Dylan (twin brothers with Autism) are definitely a handful but they capture everyone's heart when they meet them. E and D also have an older brother Logan who is great with the boys and is also a hoot! He comes up with the best jokes and always makes us laugh with his quick whit and off the wall humor!! Please enjoy the story from Rob...<br /><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153); font-weight: bold;">Just wanted to share with you that Logan had 3 Cross Country meets this week and did well in all of them! He has turned into a pretty good runner and is improving every week.</span></span></div> <div style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153); font-weight: bold;"> </div> <div style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153); font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;">But beyond that we had a first.....Evan competed in a cross country meet last Thursday night with Logan! It was very impromptu. Thursday's meet in Portland was open to all-comers. When we got there I asked Evan if he wanted to run and he said he did. So I signed him up for the 5th & 6th graders 2,000 meter race that started and finished prior to Logan's race. I ran with him (also a family first as I have never run in a cross country meet). Evan was priceless! He cut a few corners on the first lap....squealing and laughing the whole way. He even stopped in front of a group of girls 1/2 way into his first lap and motioned the girls to clap for him...which they did. He bowed to them and took off running again....laughing and squealing hysterically! He completed most of the second lap and crossed the finish line to the roar and cheers from the crowd and collected his competitors ribbon. He enjoyed the attention so much that he ran a big circle back to the finishing chute so he could cross the finish line again and receive more applause. He waived to the crowd and began dancing in front of the sound system playing rock music at the finish line. Everybody loved him! </span></div> <div style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153); font-weight: bold;"> </div> <div style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153); font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;">As Logan lined up for his race, Dylan walked up to him and gave him a big hug! That is my sweet "D"! Evan had other ideas. He lined up behind Logan and when the gun went off, he took off with the 7th and 8th graders! While his effort was short-lived, it was nice to see he was enjoying himself so much. Ingrid captured much of the day on film.</span></div> <div style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153); font-weight: bold;"> </div> <div style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153); font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;">Some of the many wonderful characteristics about Evan is that he is so adventurous, has no shame, no inhibitions and loves attention! I am truly savoring that day because of him.</span></div> <div style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153); font-weight: bold;"> </div> <div style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153); font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;">Rob</span></div>CourtneyAnnehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06055766631886677072noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7759136188583211489.post-30685310278652085952011-09-11T09:04:00.000-07:002011-09-11T09:15:08.435-07:00In Full SwingAs September is moving right on in and fall will be here before we know it life for me has been in full swing. Back in January I had been working full time and going to school at night to prep for my GRAD school classes beginning in June. Well, June came and my summer was BUSY. I took two, four-week sessions with two classes each session. I was a crazy person for 8 weeks!!! Jamming 12 weeks of material into 4 weeks is major overload. Though I successfully completed those two sessions with two A's and two A-. After a week break I was back at it again. This time I am doing my first practicum experience. This includes 40 hours in a classroom setting. As this session got underway, I also was back at work! This school year we jumped to 10 students!! We have four new kiddos and lets just say that I am ways on my toes getting these kiddos what they need. BUSY BUSY. Though through the "summer break" and starting back in the classroom, I realized how much I love being in a school. It feels like it is just another part of me, its so natural. I just hope I have enough energy to keep up night classes while working full time!!! Two more years on this path and I'll be finished with my MASTERS!!!CourtneyAnnehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06055766631886677072noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7759136188583211489.post-38651241588152312602011-03-13T16:28:00.000-07:002011-03-13T16:36:33.077-07:00Its official!!How many months have passed since October and I haven't posted?

I was really excited as I felt she had missed the dress hunt for Lindsay as I was still as WSU. We made appointments with Tower Bridal and Bridal Exclusives. We chose a lot of fun and crazy styles for Kelsey to try on and they all looked good on her, but I couldn't believe how expensive they all were!<br /><br />Kelsey heard about this show called Making Memories that was out in Beaverton, only for the weekend. It is a traveling bridal show where the proceeds go to terminally ill breast cancer patients providing "a wish", sort of like the Make a wish Foundation. Unfortunately, mom was out of town, so Lindsay and I went with Kels, on the way she said, "I was thinking, that I would rather spend a lot less for a dress and have it be almost 'the one', than spend a lot on a dress that is 'the one'." I agreed and was happy Kelsey came to that decision.<br /><br />There are racks and racks of dresses and you go through the ones that are your size, but if they have been altered, a 10 can fit like a 10, 8, or 6. Some of the smaller sizes too have been hemmed up a lot, so they were way too short for her. We found one that she really like, and quickly sent text message pictures to mom. Then just as we thought the hunt was over, the gal who was helping us brought one more out. You could tell Kelsey really liked it.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDa1GjbbIPCX2QFWfFLMbJBNjth0KrXGWQDFZ92ywKjGqscEFekBC0ZOOtLHB3VY0qSJovUgFi-UR9BEMPmlL9rpOQxNzqm88SPUzrTfSA-op0G6wTUPFlVEGwqc45wpP7gI55SfmPXX0/s1600/Kelsey's+wedding+dress.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 225px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDa1GjbbIPCX2QFWfFLMbJBNjth0KrXGWQDFZ92ywKjGqscEFekBC0ZOOtLHB3VY0qSJovUgFi-UR9BEMPmlL9rpOQxNzqm88SPUzrTfSA-op0G6wTUPFlVEGwqc45wpP7gI55SfmPXX0/s400/Kelsey's+wedding+dress.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5502722703037503538" border="0" /></a>We played around with it, helping her show what it would be like if it got altered a bit. It was 100% silk and made by Waters. We paid for it to be put on hold so Kelsey could talk with mom about it over the phone and think about it. The next day, Kelsey drove out by herself and purchased the dress!<br /><br />When mom got into town we headed over to her house so she could see Kelsey in it. In the living room, we used our make shift clips and jewels to dress it up a bit and decide what could be done.

Yes, working with <span style="font-size:130%;">3</span> boys on the Autism Spectrum is very challenging at times, and quite often, but they are so full of love, laughs, and surprises!!!<br /><br />My 8 year old, had a birthday party at Chuck E Cheese on April 10 and I got to come! I invited my whole family because they all just love Zach, and the stories I share, or the times they get to hang out with him! I loved seeing him so excited about having a party and seeing Chuck E!<br /><br />I think the best part of the day was seeing Zach take Chuck E by the hand, asking him if he wanted a piece of cake, handing him a cupcake saying "here you go" (in Zach's special voice) and then him waiting for Chuck E to eat it!! So much fun!<br /><br />Also this past Sunday was the Autism walk at Oaks Park. Its a short 1 mile walk around the park. Its fun to see all the kids, and go on all the rides after the walk! Zach and London are a great pair, because they got to enjoy all the rides over and over again because they never get sick from ALL the spinning and spinning, back and forth, up and down!! I swear they went on the same SCREAMING EAGLE 3 times in a row!!!

I am finally on my own!! With a crazy crazy few weeks behind me, things are starting to settle down. A week after my trip to Omaha I jumped into a need for CHANGE! So i picked up a second job, found an apartment and moved out!! It actually happened that fast too! On a Wednesday I looked online for apartments, saw a great one out of my price range... that night met some guys at the tattoo place with Evan. Turned out one lived there and other other's brother did. Saw the apartment that night. Next day I turned in my application for the apartment. A week later It was mine!! That Saturday I signed the lease and began moving in!!! WEIRD! SO here are before and after pictures on my "studio" apartment I turned into a 1 </span>bedroom!</a></span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">BEFORE</span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdBzJaM9ZLq8zpbROFVvQukTc7bQRyfkFKKVt72OU3PD9HMCHYZL9dlZn6bOkrT-7hHctD6d_QZIox-LXe4lrVoSIyKcC36MrJRwDDUqTEuSVD9lJQThh_0GHMzznhWs1NZgpn3eD2n08/s1600-h/Apartment+move+in+009.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer;
