Back to college.. for the night

This weekend was so much fun! Friday night i went out with some friends. But on Saturday Jay and i headed up to slippery rock! The drive seemed so long. After not doing it for so long.. it seemed to longer than before. A few times i actually thought i was on my way back to school...however i was not.

We stayed with my friend kelsey. First we chilled and caught up on each other lives, then (without question) We went to the outlets. I was bummed. I found a pair of jeans that i loved but i didnt want to spend the 50$ on them. We then met up with another friend and had dinner at Elephant & Castle. DELICIOUS! I had a yummy buff chicken wrap :) We then went home and got ready for the night. We went to a party and hit up the bar :) It was so much fun and i cant wait to do it again... i really miss college.

love us :)

being silly waiting for happy

Pictures from work :)

While waiting for the kiddos to arrive this morning i took a few pictures of what we have been up to so far this year.

As a group we sat down and decided on rules that we felt were most important to our class. I believe that it is important to have the students participate in making up the rules.

This is our behavior chart. The mascot for our school is a rocket. So i played with that theme to make up our sticker/star start. Students can earn stars by following the rules, doing their jobs, and participating in the activities with a good attitude!

This is our job chart. The kiddos have a different job everyday.

"Toadly me". These are super cute and a great way to get to know a new group of kids.

Some name art the kids designed.

This month we will be completing a lot of fun fall crafts and activities!

End of summer baseball game

The summer is coming to an end. This is obvious because baseball is wrapping up and football is taking center stage. I had the chance to catch one last baseball game before the summer ended and fall kicked in :)

Last week I went to my hometown baseball teams game. It was great eating a delicious burger, chips, peanuts, and some beer :) We had great seats. 3 rows from the field! While relaxing and watching the game i spotted my old baton teacher from YEARS ago! We have always kept in touch through majorette competitions. However with graduating from high school 4 years ago we fell out of touch. We chatted for a good inning or maybe two, talking about majorette/baton gossip! It was so nice catching up! The curve ended up losing the game in overtime. However i do believe they won the series.. (or something?) haha.

Here are a few pics from the game:

Lost for words rambles

Ive been at a lost for words. Hard to believe, i know. Not to much exciting has happened lately. I have been a working bee. I still do my before and after school program and TSS in the afternoon for my little buddy! (whos so cute and id scoop him up if i could).

Luke is looking at getting a new car. His old one is an FJ Cruiser... sweet but not practical. Its expensive and a gas hog. He has a WV Passat on hold at the dealer right now. So hopefully his payments will go down and we can start to save money for the wedding and future casa!

The wedding planning has crawled under the bed and died. I dont know what my issue is. Well okay i kinda do.. i cant make decisions. I am fully aware of my lack of decision making skills. I hate making choices because i am always afraid of making the wrong one or something better coming along. Therefore in the past 3 months all i have done was scratch people from the list and get info on the reception hall we are leaning towards. My goal: to book the reception hall within the next 2 weeks... (id say one, but i have to be realistic) and call the caterer. Those were my goals like a month ago.. but im gonna do it :)

Tonight our home town baseball team (curve) has a game. They made it to the playoffs and its my duty to go to the game enjoy a nice big fat burger and fries chill with fam and luke and watch the game!

I am sick and tired of not being able to taste and smell. And even more i am sick of snot running down my face with no warning (TMI). I think i should go to the doctor o wait i cant thats right i got kicked off the insurance thanks to my dad and stepmother.....thats a whole new rant and rave i could go into and ill save that for another day.

Enough is enough i cant ramble anymore.

House Dreaming

Luke and I have always dreamed about our house. Our dream house would be large, open floor plan, stainless steel appliances, hard word floors, large up dated bathrooms, at least 4 rooms, an office, large backyard, outdoor living, etc. I could probably go on and on. It would probably look a little something like this:





However, unless Luke and I win the Lottery.. these houses are a little (a lot) out of budget. But Luke and I maybe a little more Luke have been on a house kick. We really want a place to call our own. How we would love to run to the bank get out a loan that would make me vom...it probably is not the smart thing to do. It's a battle i fight with myself. I know financially it would be smart to live at home a while longer..We are in the process of planning a wedding. But i am so eager to move on, live in our own place, and have a place to ourselves. For kicks and maybe a little seriousness luke and i went and view a cute little house a few blocks from my parents house. Its older and the inside is dated.. a lot of wall paper...and more wall paper... and some old counter tops.. but it would be a cute first home and we would have fun fixing it up. However then my brain kicks in and has to remind myself and luke (luke a lot) that it would be smart to hold off on the house hunting :( But here is a picture of the house we drive by everyday and say: "there's our house".


Well maybe the house will stay on the market until we are ready to buy :) haha!
