I'm Getting Married!

So I told you that we would post family stuff and something pretty big happened last Wednesday! Chad, my boyfriend, asked me to marry him! He got my friend at work to help him and he proposed at my school. All of my first graders were holding up the sign that said "Will you marry me?" My parents and his were there and a few of our family friends. I was completely shocked! A friend took video of the whole thing but I can't get it to upload. It is on Facebook so if you need to find me it is Amanda Lee....but I am private so you might have to find my mom and then me if you can't find me in a search.

It was the last day of school and my kids were watching a video because we had to pack up EVERYTHING this year since we are having construction in our classrooms this summer. My principal came down and asked me to go to her office and help with next year's class lists. Then we got called down for help in my pod so I went running in and was so confused as to why there were so many people in my classroom. In the background on my SmartBoard, you see the Bellagio in Vegas. I always wanted to get engaged there so he did the next best thing. :) I will keep working on uploading the video.

A year ago today...

We have made it to the one year mark. One year ago today, we were all planning on going to Kansas City for my nephews birthday party and dad was driving to get grandma to take her with us. One year ago today, I got the phone call from my brother telling me dad was in a bad car accident. One year ago today, dad was walking around and never knew his life was about to change. One year ago today, I never knew how strong my dad and grandma could fight for their lives.

We are blessed and so lucky to have survived the last year. But truly, our family could not have done it without all of YOU! Your support through this last year kept my mom going and kept all of our sanity. So thank you for everything you all have done for us!

Dad "graduated" from seeing Dr. Canada last week so we are officially done...finally! Dad just has to continue going to get fitted for new legs every few years. Grandma is a lot slower these days and is a lot for my aunt but she is still hanging in there. She can barely walk anymore and can barely respond to you when you talk to her. This is just with age and we are lucky that she has held on this long.

From here on out, I will continue to post things if something happens, but I am also going to post about our family and their happenings. We have kept in touch with so many family members this way and since we are in the clear now, I figured this can be a Greeninger blog so all our family can keep in touch.

We love you all so much! Thank you again for your love and support this past year!

Happy Mother's Day!
