Home SWEET Home, AKA the Longest post ever for me!

Here is our house the day we got it! We were so excited and extremely happy!



After my hard working and very talented husband, with the help ouf the greatest father - in - law in the world, it looks like this:

Here is our backyard: Jason has poured a lot
of sweat over it too!


Welcome! Come on in!



Here is our living room and eat in Kitchen! This made me fall in love with our home.

My second love, :)



The future home of baby Campbell, haha, not anytime soon though :)

These pictures are really out of order, but they are not cooperating with me, so here is a mumbled jumbled part of the tour!

This is our bathroom! I have my own sink to put all my stuff out on when I am getting ready!

Our bedroom:

This is our catch all room until we finish unpacking! Summer Job... :)

Jason's man cave...

The spare bedroom.

The Kitchen

The living room

Here is another picture of Jason working so hard. I really haven't seen him this week, he just loves working outside! :)

We are so thankful and know we are blessed to have this home!

Moving In... Moving Out

Well, I LOVE my house. I think that is a bit of an understatment! I will hopefully soon attach pictures detailing my favorite things, but that is a huge thing keeping me going right now!

Jason has worked so hard making our house a home. He has added awesome landscaping. I cant wait to show some before and after pictures soon.

I only have a few more days til the end of the year! Another understatement is I am thrilled school is almost out. Whew, this has been a hard year. I hope I have grown, but I really need just a refreshing. Teaching can be the best job ever I think, and in some cases, it wears me down pretty low sometimes. I need strength. I am so thankful God graciously gave me this job, and I need grace to finish the job this year. I know I CAN do all things through Jesus!

Moving out of what you might ask? Well, I am moving out of my classroom now and get to move into a new school! They are moving all primary grades to a learning center. I just saw my new room today and I am ohh so happy! It has a big beautiful purple wall that looks into a sensory garden. What exciting news?! Can I get those five year olds to focus on me though instead of the garden? That will be the tricky part!


The book I am reading for bible study is Inside Out. It is really good and I am really enjoying it. Do you think I am immature by saying I wish the print was a tad bit larger and there were a few pictures in it? :)

Have a great night!
Lots of love,
Janaea

Blog Dropout, ...No More!

Okay, Okay, I stopped blogging for a little bit. I hate that I stopped, but I did. I am back! Hopefully! :)

I am so thankful for our new home! Jason and I get the keys Sunday! More on that soon. Right now I am living in a complete mess of boxes. Jason and I were just talking that we keep working on packing, but we never feel like we make progress! I can't wait to live in one place with everything in its place and a place for everything! I am trying to enjoy the journey.

School is almost out and I am oh so thankful for that too! I have some students I will dearly miss, but I LOVE summer! I am taking a master's course that will take up most of my time but I am really excited about it!

Have a fabulous Saturday!

Love, Janaea

With promises to be back soon.............................. :)

The Worman Church

Did you know there was such a thing as the Worman church? Well, I found out today from a very informative five year old that it exists. To him, they are completely evil people!

Here is a glimpse into my world of five year olds, pencils, crayons, writing paper, and math manipulatives:

Student: "Mrs. Campbell, do you know there is such a thing as the Worman church!!! ?"
Me: "Why no, What?????"
Student: SPEAKING LOUDLY AND AS PASSIONATE AS A FIVE YEAR OLD CAN BE: "I am never, I mean never ,joining the Worman Church. They are terrbible. They dont even let you drink hot chocolate or red drinks. My mom told me all about it. My sister is getting baptized there next week, and she will never drink hot chocolate again."

Me: (Thinking, what in the world am I going to say, what warped thinking has this child been taught?) Me: Laughing so hard I can barely breathe...

Me: "Wow, I didn't know that"

I LOVE my job! :)


Today is such a cold wintry day with the snow blowing outside. I think I will put some warm pjs on, drink hot chocolate and be greatful Jesus saved me. I am so grateful I do not belong to the "worman church"

Birthday Blessings!

I hope you had a good Valentine's Day. I know it is so hard, well it was for me, when I didnt have Jason to spend and share this day with. I was praying and thinking about my single friends this day a lot- More than you will know.

I have always loved V-day, even when I was single. WhY? Because it is my birthday! I was often told I would get jipped on this day because my future husband would only get to give me one gift for two Holidays. Those people did not know I would marry Mr. Jason Micheal Campbell.

He got my some gorgeous roses! I will always melt when given flowers. period. end of story.

He also got me some of my favorite perfume from Clinique called, Happy and some really cute jewelry from Lia Sophia. I got some last year and totally loved it. It was so sweet for him to remember. He also bought me a really cute top from my all time favorite store Ann Taylor Loft.

I had a great day celebrating! We went to my Mom's for pork roast, salad, rolls, broccoli casserole and potatoes. We had hot brownie sundae's for my b-day desert. My mom even cut them in the shapes of hearts. What an awesome mom I have!

We laughed our heads off during dessert. This picture is blurry, but shows how much we were laughing!

Luke, humoring me when I am taking his picture!

Thank you LORD for my 25 years. Thank you for the people that surrounded me that day and showed me just how loved I am!

Catch-Up

It has been a little bit since blogging last, so lets get you up to date. I am sure you are dying to know whats been going on in my oh-so-fabulous life! :)

We have had a lot of snow lately! I dont think school will let out until June now...:( Jason and I have had a lot of fun together though. I love it how when God let it snow buckets, it has been on days where Jason is off. We have spent the days together. He is my favorite person to be snowed in with! We usually have been getting out in the snow and going out to eat somehow. Jason took me to the place where my new school is being built. I can't wait to move my classroom this summer! It will feel so refreshing to have new space and not walls from 1930! Here is me at the construction sight:

We watched the movie, The Time Traveler's Wife. It was strange to me. I was bummed because I was really looking forward to seeing it. I have watched a lot of Dugger's episodes though. I hope and pray their new baby comes home and is healthy soon!

Jason has done something crazy. He loves building, repairing, and creating new things. Winter has him depressed not to do something. In the future, we will need a place for him to work in the winter. Jason asked me if I would mind if he sanded a sofa table in our spare bedroom. I just shut the door because I couldnt bare to see all the dust! :) He cleaned it up, but man it was a total mess! I dont think he wants to do that again, but maybe it will help him get out of a winter slump...:) CAn you believe he did this? Don't tell our landlords!!!! :)

I am so happy to show you the next few pictures. Baby Zeb was born a few days ago. I love my new cousin already. His mom is my new hero because of the crazy difficult delivery. I pray Zeb will grow strong and be the best he was meant to be. Thank you God for this new blessing into our family!

Heart Change

So I woke up this morning and I got on the computer to look up some of my favorite stores. I wanted to get ideas for spring fashion and see if I can find something to pick out for my birthday.

Heart Change ***When I went to read a few of my favorite blogs, I was completely humbled and just a change of heart. I read Jaime's simple things blog. What a great thing to be reminded of. Then I read Beth Moore's blog from Tuesday. A man and wife team that live in Haiti wrote a special blog to her readers. Wow... there are so many people hurting and in need of the Good news I know and love... His name is Jesus. How I should take more time for Him, how I need to let Him live through me more, how my life should be hidden in Him, these are the thoughts running through my head now, not some dress I want for my birthday! I know it is okay to shop, but how thankful I am that my priorities were adjusted by reading a few blogs. I pray it will continue through the day!

Have a great, priority straight Saturday! :)
