Yes, yes, I googled my own name. We’ve all done it. But this time I had a really good reason. One rationale behind why I haven’t been posting as much- or at all- is not because I don’t still embarrass myself. It’s because now I’m past dealing with postal workers and paint salesmen. Now we’re talking about innocent children. And as much as I want to share stories, I now have lives and reputations to protect.
But I was curious if anyone could stumble across our site by searching my name- which all the parents and faculty, of course, know.
Well, eventually, you do find our site. But first you have to read through a LOT of commentary about a Lauren Teague who is “defiant,” (nah) “borderline delinquent” (just what parents want to hear), “wayword,” (eh) but nonetheless, “beautiful.” (Yay!)

I think I’ll pass on reading the book.

The day before the wedding, the bridesmaids, the moms, the flowergirl, Silas, and I went to Virginia Highland(s) to eat pizza and paint plates. It was quite the showcase of talent from the feminine half of the bridal party and I ended up with some beauuuutiful plates. Josh and I are trying to figure out how to display them without any chance that one will fall, break, and be lost forever. In the meantime, we’re sharing them with you in the form of a happy game we like to call “Name that plate!” My incredibly talented, humoring husband worked his CG magic to create the fun, easy to use format. Given the names, try to guess who painted each plate. Click to find out if you are correct.

Word Bank (I’m a teacher, after all)-

Kreig, Joanne (mother of the groom and bride, respectively)
Tiffany, Mandy, Amy, Katie, Annie, Jaime, and Jeanine (bridesmaids)
Sydney (flowergirl)
Lauren (me)

Good luck.
