First Post

I'd been planning to start a blog to keep everyone up to date on the comings and goings of life after planning a wedding. Well I decided to hatch the plan earlier for a few reasons; they are as follows:

• I deleted my Myspace account
• I start Student Teaching in *gulp* 9 weeks
• It is always better to establish something early than to put it off until you have no time

The first two are the real reasons, obviously. I figured that if I started this before I start my final semester I could update it to let people know how I'm fairing in the classroom and how Cody is doing putting up with my frazzled nerves. To explain the blog name, I was nicknamed "Tex" a while back after my friends decided a character had been based on me. I nicknamed Cody "Troop" for obvious reasons.

I think I might set an update schedule where I update once or twice a week but I will decide that later.
