The fair was a LOT of fun! I went a total of FIVE times and had a blast every time! It was so much fun and I ate my way through the fair. Josh and I went three times so he got his fill of the fair too. We went a couple of times with friends and I even got to see my favorite morning show Elvis Duran and the Morning Show at the fair! Such nice, nice people and we were so excited to see them!
MMmmmm...CORNDOGS! My favorite!
On the Skyglider. :)
Meeting the morning show!
Lindsay and me with Skeery Jones
Us with the famous Elvis Duran!
So excited about our signatures!
Then it was time for Josh's birthday! He made out like a bandit: lots of new clothes, new workout shoes, a new iPod and I made him a homemade cornhole set thanks to Andy and Laura! He was surprised and I was so proud of myself for making the entire thing by hand; I even sewed the bags! So I learned how to use my sewing machine and made a set of cornhole bags in the process. My next endeavor will be to make a t-shirt quilt for us for this winter. Josh was pretty good about turning 27...only three more years until the big 3-0! haha.
A new saw!
Bag board!
We've also been putting the shed together! The only thing left it needs is a door! YAY! Josh is excited to have a place to put everything to store this Winter. I'm just excited there will be more room in the garage! It looks so good; matches the house perfectly.
We finally got everything painted and updated in the living/dining room! My goal this week is to deep clean and then I'll post before and after pictures! I still LOVE the way the living room turned out and the simple decor we went with. I sit and stare at it everyday I think.
School started again on the 20th. We went 1:1 iPads this year (every student 6-12 has his/her own iPad for the school year). It's been exciting, challenging, fun and scary all at once. I've been using it quite a bit with them, and they seem excited to use them and are excited about learning again. I hope this keeps up throughout the entire school year. I added a new friend to my classroom as well. He doesn't have a name yet, but I really love having him next to me at work. He keeps me company and whenever I sit down at my desk or walk by he always swims up. He's probably missing me this week (or missing being fed everyday??) so I'm excited to see him tomorrow! The students are naming him, so hopefully by this week I'll be able to make him a little name tag and he'll be an official CM member. :)
Like I said, I started my Master's for counseling this week and I couldn't be more excited to start the journey to becoming a school counselor. It will be a lot of work, but I think I'll learn so much and I've never been more excited to be a student again (I love school...just now that I pay for it I hate the money spent. :(.
It's going to cool down this week; enjoy the last few moments of Summer left! And I'll leave you with this adorable picture of Taytum & her friend Roxy (the Kunkel's long-haired Dachshund)
