exhausted.

I tweeted the other day that I thought I was tired this summer at camp. And I really was exhausted this summer. But for some reason it seemed so much more worth it than it does now. I guess it might be because everyone around me was experiencing the same thing this summer, and that is not the case now. However, I've learned so much, and I only have three more days of 5:15 wake up calls. While this is definitely the busiest semester I've ever had, I have managed to have some fun these past few weeks...(side note: I really hate that the most recent posts have been just picture updates; I have a few "good" posts that I've been writing and re-writing, so look for those soon!)

We had a pumpkin carving party one night! I actually did very little of the carving of this pumpkin.

Mom had a birthday!

And these two celebrated 29 years of marriage...who's that guy with the hair? ;)

I got to see my favorite college freshmen last weekend! I so love these pretty girls, and I'm incredibly proud of who they are becoming. 

There's ONE week left of my student teaching, and while I won't miss my hour drive each way, I am going to miss those sweet first graders. At the end of next week, I'm heading up to camp for the weekend, and I'm SO excited to be at Cedar Cliff in the fall! Here's to a busy next couple of months!!

Happy Fall Y'all!

Happy fall friends! I hope you are doing fun fall things like carving pumpkins, wearing boots and scarves, going to corn mazes, and drinking apple cider. While I haven't done any of those things yet, I plan on carving pumpkins this coming weekend and drinking apple cider the second Augusta hits 60 degrees. I'm over this whole 85 degrees during the month of October. It's ridiculous! But here's a look as to what I have been doing during the hot fall...

I went to Costco a couple of weeks ago with my parents. We saw this 160qt. pot (who needs something that large, anyway?!), and of course my mom hopped in it. Life is never dull with those two...

I spent a Saturday morning at Monkey Joe's with these two cuties. Gosh, I love them. 

I decorated the house for fall despite the hot and humid weather. 

I survived (and loved) my first day of student teaching! I have to drive an hour to the school each way, but the students and teachers are fantastic!

We had our first fire of fall the other night. No s'mores, but still good fire talks!

It was family day at my dad's company, and we had quite fun playing with the photo props!

One of the girls I'm in the education program with got married yesterday, and a few of us went to her wedding. She made a beautiful bride! Congrats, Tara!

A few of my favorites were home this weekend, and I got to see them. We made a Cookout run which was so fun! 

And to end a fun weekend, I got a phone call from my sweet friend Kasey from camp this morning. Long story short, she came to Augusta, and we got to catch up for a few hours! Made my weekend!

Happy fall friends!
