It has been over 3 months since our last post, and boy have things changed at the Cunningham household.First, we completed our relocation to Tulsa. The first 3 months have been great. We have gotten to know several new people and been plugged into our Covenant Community at Asbury UMC. We have spent a lot of time with the Shers and Ellison Kate. Spent several weekends at Grand Lake with the

So today started out really bad. I was tired, because I had woken up every 30 minutes last night. The students were doing the things they do to push my buttons. Then there was the stress of all the "end of school year events." Plus, I hadn't written my 3 semester exams and need to get to Ms. Johnnie in the copy room by tomorrow.BUT at 9:10 AM a magical thing happened...Today was the awards

So this week on Thursday and Friday we are taking our "End of Year" Field Trips at school. The past two years the whole school went to Hawaiian Falls a local water park. After a rain out last year, we decided to try something different this year. So...... we are going to a skating rink. We are taking each grade level individually. I'm just picturing 300+ middle school students in a SKATING

We just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Easter! We spent the weekend with our adorable nephew in Enid!

Today was a pretty stressful day. The Oklahoma Bar results were released this afternoon. After not sleep much last night, I was a nervous wreck all morning. The Bar told us that the results would be up around noon, but even still I diligently checked the website about every 5 minutes since 8 this morning.Finally at 11, I told myself "self, you have to get some work done and not think about the

Nothing very exciting is happening this spring break. Since Brad is taking a new job, he isn't getting any vacation days...so we are here in Dallas. My mom did come to visit so we have been shopping and having a great time together. That is until today. I have been having some jaw problems so my dentist sent me to a specialist. He thinks he can fix the problem with braces...yes you heard me

UPDATE - Great News! Ashely's iPhone has been recovered from the thief. I am sure she will be adding a detailed account of the manhunt, the coercive police interrogation, the confession and finally the return of the phone. Just wanted to let everyone know so you can relax and get back to your regular lives now.

 Sorry I have been out-of-touch since Thursday.  MY PHONE WAS STOLEN OUT OF MY DESK AT SCHOOL.  I am very heart broken because I had a little crush on my iphone.  At school, It was my only connections to the outside world.  I loved my secret checks on facebook and games of tetris.  I also felt completely violated because the little criminal had access to my email and facebook account temporarily.

Today was an amazing day in my classroom.  We started off talking about the importance of today and MLK Day.  We did a lesson where we all read different article about the new president and his family.  Then we shared what we learned with each other.  The most AMAZING part was watching my students eyes when President Obama was taking the oath and giving his speech.  While I'm not sure they

We haven't posted anything in a while. Both of us have been very busy - as I am sure many of you are.I (Brad) has been studying for the Oklahoma Bar Exam non-stop since the beginning of the year. My typical weekday is get up early and study for 1 to 2 hours. Then get ready and go to work. Work until 6:30-7. Come home, eat dinner, then study for another hour or two then go to bed. I also try

Christmas is a wonderful time of year, especially at our house. If you want to get technical about the whole event, since we were married we have not really done any of Christmas at our house (apartment). Ashley being a teacher gets 2 weeks off from work and usually utilizes that time to spend with her mom and dad in Enid. Brad usually stays home in Dallas and works. That was the routine

this weekend we got a new home computer. it is the awesome iMac. as you can see we needed a computer to do grown up things like take these pictures with the built in camera. the best part about it (in case you don't know) is that there is no cpu tower. the entire computer is built in to the monitor - so it is only 3 small pieces (1) the monitor (2) a mouse and (3) the keyboard.we recommend

I thought I was just spending it with my dear Aunt Mary and cousin Anna Lee, but it turns out my Mom and brother Dave surprised me for the weekend!!! It was an absolute blast. We had the best time together. We all got together with Kelly, Wade, Grant, and Gavin for a crab crakin good

On September 15,2008 my brother and sister-in-law brought a bundle of joy into this world. Our nephew is absolutely adorable. It was heart breaking for us that we couldn't see him the minute he was born. I could hardly teach because I was checking my phone and email every second for updates. When he was born I instantly showed a picture to my students. They loved him. They crack me up, one

Over the past few weeks I was surprised by the emails and texts I received about Ashley and I moving to Tulsa. I began to try to figure out how this news had gotten out so quickly considering I had only talked to a few people about it. I got messages all the way from Georgia to California.I was surprised further when we met up with some friends this weekend and they asked us too. But then the

I am sure when you read the title I was referring to the fact that it has been a long while since our last post (over a month). But actually it is in reference to the fact that my brother returns home on Monday. He has been in Korea since mid-August of 2007. For over a year, the only time we saw his face was by grainy video on the internet. But at least we could see him and talk to him. We

the college football season begins tonight. this is my favorite time of year, and probably my wife's least favorite. don't get it twisted - my wife is a college football fan. she goes to the games, wears the gear, cheers with all her might. she just can't stand that, if given the option, i would sit on my couch from 8 a.m until midnight or whenever the latest game ends on a saturday while on

On August 19th Brad and I will have been married for two years!!! We celebrated this special date this past weekend. My aunt and uncle, Kelly and Wade, gave us an ever so sweet gift. We stayed at Hotel Palomar, had wonderful massages at Exhale Spa, and long fantastic dinner at Central 214. We both enjoyed our massages. Part of mine (deep tissue) was so rough I was actually pouring sweat,

Well, I got it. The new 3G iphone that is. I have been rebelling against it for over a year, but I finally gave in. I swore my allegiance to blackberry last year, funny how quickly things change. I have had my iphone for exactly 3 days and it is the coolest gadget I have ever seen. I can't concentrate on anything other than looking through the apps store on itunes to see what fun awaits me.

Hank has learned a very obnoxious trick over the last several weeks. He will sneak into the pantry and break into our snacks that in a container on the floor. He did it again yesterday. He ate some granola bites and rice krispy treats. This morning at 3:00 a.m. we were awaken by Hank vomiting in bed. Luckily were in time to keep it from getting all over the bed. Then at 4:00 a.m. we were

Last weekend (July 20) our good friends Aaron and Jen Snow were in town. Aaron is a very talented photographer in OKC. He wanted to do a Dallas photo shoot and asked our friend Heylee to be the subject - with a cameo by Hank the dog. So Aaron, Jen, Ashley, Hank and I loaded in the car and went around town taking pictures. Needless to say they turned out awesome! If you don't believe us check

Allow us to introduce us ourselves. We are the Cunningham's - Brad, Ashley and Hank (our dog). We live in Dallas, Texas where I (Brad) am an attorney in a family law boutique firm and Ashley teaches 6th grade ESL (English as a Second Language). We were married on August 19, 2006. We are very excited to have a blog and can't wait to change the world with our compositions.
