TGIF! Today, I'm linking up with Lauren for High Five for Friday!

1. I got my first issue of Cooking Light magazine this week and have really enjoyed looking though it.  I have so many ideas for new and healthy recipes now!

2. This week, one of my students surprised me with candy!  It was such a sweet gesture.  She brought in cupcakes  for the whole class and sugar free peanut butter cups for me!  It made my day.

3. My little snuggly puppy has been extra sweet lately.  I think it's because she knew bath day was coming soon, and she wanted to postpone it.  We have always known how much Hazel loves tv, but recently, we saw a commercial that really got her going.  It had golden retrievers in it. She goes crazy pacing  back and forth in front of the tv!

4. I discovered sugar free BBQ sauce this week!  Thank you Paula Deen for making my life a whole lot better!

5. Celebrating the UGA v. Florida football game tomorrow in St. Simons, GA!  We are having a blast so far--walking the beach, playing volleyball, and enjoying friends.  I found a group of ZTA's (my sorority) on the beach!  It was cool to see them and know we have a lot in common. David and I have also had time to squeeze in some fresh seafood!

How was your week?

more on fall break + high five for friday

This week I'm going to be linking up with Lauren Elizabeth at High Five for Friday!  It's been a long time since I've participated in this one, but I'm excited to start doing it again!

1. Fall break was very busy.  I got a lot done!  I desperately needed a break from the 106 moody teenagers I deal with daily.  I was able to get a lot of household things done that I have been putting off and visit family!  I had a great passenger for all of my travels...

2. Our first stop was to see my grandma.  We were able to spend the entire afternoon with her!  My aunt came over, and we helped her put a pumpkin together.  It was really cute!  That night, my dad took my grandma and I to see the Barefoot Contessa!  It was a really neat show.  I enjoyed listening to her talk about her love for cooking and tips.

3. Hazel has had quite the exhausting week.  She has played hard.  She plays especially hard with my sister's dog Margo.  We went over late one night and let the two puppies play around.  It was really fun.  When I got back to Athens, David and I went to a beautiful wedding at the Melting Point!  We had such a great time!

4. The next morning, David ran in a half marathon!  It was a great morning for it!  I drank some Dunkin' coffee while he trotted along.  Hazel got to go as well, and again, wore her out!  However, we managed to get a family photo!

She smiled, don't you think?  These few days back have been stressful reminders of why I needed this break in the first place!  But my little bulldawg is getting me through!  Can't wait to snuggle with her all weekend!

5. And best for last!  Today is my beautiful mama's birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY to an amazing woman!  I love you so much mama!
