Life is a Highway

Ok, I win the prize for worst blogger of the month! If I didn't change the date each morning in my classroom I would swear it's still August. I can't believe this month and a half has gone by so quickly.

I'll quickly recap since I haven't updated this is SO long. August was a whirlwind. I spent much of the first part of the month enjoying what summer I had left and getting my classroom all ready for the school year. I celebrated my 27th birthday on the 29th of August. Jon and I had a great weekend. We spent the day together hanging out. I got a Pandora Bracelet from him and Harper (which I've been wanting for a while), and he took me to Coconuts which is a great restaurant on the water.

With the beginning of September came crazy work schedules and nonstop laundry! Oh how I long for the days of just coming home from school with my bed made and my laundry in my basket folded and clean. This month was also a big birthday in Jon's family. With his family we threw his mom a surprise 50th birthday party! I think she was pretty surprised to see her friends and family gathered for her special day. We were all thankful when she walked through the door, I think we all breathed a sigh of relief!

Harper is growing like a weed. She has really shot up in height (which shocks you all I know!). With Binkley on one side and Dasal on the other, the girl doesn't have much hope, but for her - she hit a growth spurt. ha!

We are now in full fall swing. I can't wait to watch my nephew Nathan play some tackle football this year, and take Harper to all the pumpkin festivals I can find. I heard (through a facebook post) that Starbucks has released their "pumpkin spice" latte, which happens to be my ALL TIME favorite. If I could only get my butt out of bed in time to make it to Starbucks before work.

So with life flying by at full swing, I will gladly accept the "worst blogger of the month" award, and try my best to keep it more updated. In the mean time, buy some pumpkins and mums in honor of me!
