With much excitement and an incredibly grateful heart, I have accepted a full-time teaching position as an agricultural education teacher that I will start as soon as I come back from our honeymoon. We are so thankful for the incredible opportunities God has blessed us with and there is no one I would rather share this new chapter of life with than my handsome fiance. #agteacherinthemaking #finallymadeit #engagementneverfeltsogood #finallybegnaud #herestonewthings #nothinglikedoingallbiglifechangesatonce #butisulkinthechaos (at Jasper County High School)

Shoutout to the world's best fiance for waking up at 6:30 to bring me a school assignment since my printer doesn't have colored ink, and for letting me borrow his tablet while my computer is taking a leave of absence! Love you handsome! #mcm #helovesmesometimes #butnotwhenimakehimwakeupearly #atleasthesgottimetogetmilknow #finallybegnaud #engagementneverfeltsogood

When you are trying to do your morning devotions but Ava likes to attack you from under the blankets... #ithinksheiscold #orjustwantsalltheattention #shedidthisforlikefiveminutesbeforethisvideo #shesjustwantstoplay #shesactuallyamenace

Hard to believe that the next time I'll be wearing these pearls, I'll be wearing a white dress and you will be looking snazzy in your suit #finallybegnaud #engagementneverfeltsogood #semiformal #itwasfreezing #butiwouldnttradeathing #igothimtowearpink

The attached stages of me realizing Ava was sleeping under the blankets a my feet and Ava realizing the paparazzi was watching her every move. #shesactuallyamenace #ikickedherbyaccident #butshedoesntnormallysleepthere #sorryidisturbedyourslumber

How many other majors teach you how to hold baby gators? The inner bulldawg in me is screaming, but they sure were some cute creatures. #hateweek #onceabulldawgalwaysabulldawg #thanksrangernick #teachwithanimals #teacherinthemaking #lovemymajor

After 7 straight weeks of tests and midterms, you can reasonably justify sacrificing $4 to treat yourself to something sweet. #hoorayitsover #butonlyforaweek #ididthistomyself #butitsalmostover #andthenillbeagraduateandawife

This is been the toughest semester of school so far with 7 classes {22 credit hours}, while working part time, preparing for a wedding, pre-marital counseling, and just adulting in general. But I have this guy to thank for keeping my spirits uplifted, bringing me joy in my darkest moments, and never failing to believe in me. Thanks to you, I've made All A's on my first round of exams and midterms, have been employee of the month for the last 2 months at work, and have drawn me closer to God than I have been in a while. Thank you for all you do handsome. I can't wait to call you my husband 💙💛💚 #finallybegnaud #wesocute #wewereactuallysweatingalot #andhealmostdroppedme #butitwasworthit #thanksbabe #81tomrs
