fall break

i've been on fall break this week and it has been fantastic!

the weekend was so amazing. we had friends over for the game and david and i spent sunday relaxing.

so perfect.

i finally got my house in order to have our first overnight guests!  heres a preview!

i also got all of our fall decor out.  and purchased some mini pumpkins :)

on monday i traveled to marietta for a doctor's appointment and stayed with my grandma two days!

we had a great time!

the first night, my sister and i took her to get a real italian (extremely delicious) pizza at antico.

only the best pizza you'll ever eat. EVER.

the next morning my sweet cousins (twins), also on fall break meet us for a j. christophers brunch and bingo at grandmas!  we had such a good time playing bingo! they told me all about their jump roping demo team and school. and they are super precious 5th graders.

grandma and i celebrated our time together at the marietta diner.

amazing food (greek, italian, american and breakfast)!

even prettier cakes.

we had TONS of leftovers.

i loved my time with grandma.

and the best for last.

my husband is going to be an AMAZING lawyer.

he dominated this tournament at school and made the mock trial team.

it was so fun getting to see him in action.

he. was. awesome.

words can't describe it.

you'll want to hire him one day, that's for sure.

i hope you have a happy weekend!

ours will be filled with weddings and fall leaves.

four day weekend friday

Today was beautiful... main reason, I had the day off!!! Woo hoo! I think teachers are happier than the students on holidays. With today off and my conference this week, I really only taught 3 days! It was a refreshingly short week! A big shout out to all the presidents that I will be thinking about on Monday while I'm sleeping in again ;)

This week I've had my students working on a Medieval Magazine. I changed the project up from what I normally do and unfortunately, did not have an example for them. I stayed up really late Wednesday night creating this masterpiece for my students as an example. (Then I totally passed if off like a former student did it!) This is the cover.

Now if you haven't tried Sparkling ICE yet, then you are seriously missing out! This zero calorie water drink has the carbonation of soda and the flavor of fruit! Yummmmmy! My favorite flavor... Lemon Lime.

What's great about having random days off? Filling them with doctors appointments.

Drove to Marietta to visit my parents :) Just before I left, I lost my phone in my apartment for an hour. I found it in the refrigerator. How do things like that happen?

Came home to my sweet daddy, who made me stir fry. Be jealous, it was yumtastic. In case you are wondering, of course its a word.

Can't wait to snuggle up here tonight and dream sweetly! Home, sweet home!

Now I'm about to watch the Office and Revenge with my dad. Hope you all had a great week as well. I'm linking up with Lauren from High Five for Friday for this post. I'm so happy the weekend is here!
