End of Summer

I can't believe how FAST summer went! Seems like just yesterday we were packing up the classroom and heading out to end the school year. Last week I went in and UNPACKED my classroom and got it all set up again - it really seems quite crazy! I always LOVE the fair, but it seems like once the fair starts, summer is over. It's kind of the signal of the end. But, we did a lot this summer and as always, I'm looking forward to snow and Christmas! :)

I was lucky enough to get to go to THREE concerts this past weekend! Friday night, we scored some late Jason Aldean standing room tickets for his Friday night concert at the fair. I went with some of my girlfriends and we had a BLAST! It was a lot of fun and we danced and sang at the top of our lungs! SUPER FUN!



Then Saturday night we took the boys and went to Def Leppard. They're one of Josh's favorite bands, and he'd already seen them once at the fair but he humored me and went again. I had a lot of fun and they played all of their old hits so it was a great time!



Then Sunday night Alex and I went to Glee Concert Movie in 3D! Basically it's just a 3D movie of their US tour, but it felt like we were at the concert! Plus we were the only people in the theatre so we got to sing and dance and cheer all we wanted, it was a lot of fun - ALMOST as good as watching them live.


Josh's birthday is also on Sunday the 21st so we've been trying to figure out what to do for that (and he says Thank you! to Grandma & Grandpa Medders for the card...it was the first card he got for his birthday! :)). Here's his pile of presents from me, and we went and got some good presents for him from his mom and Grandma Koppin so he'll be spoiled on his birthday! Plus I'm going to try and make his favorite breakfast for him on his birthday - biscuits and sausage gravy! I'll let you know how it turns out (if it turns out edible) haha!


Oh! And I've been meaning to post pictures of our COMPLETED upstairs bathroom! The only thing left is to decorate it, but I love the way it turned out! It's not a very big bathroom so we had to utilize the space we had, but I just LOVE using it and I feel like there's so much more room in it already!

Josh did all this himself! Bathroom #2 is in the process now! :)
