Friday Favorites!

I am more than excited for today to be Friday!  This week was the first full week with students and I. Am. Tired.  Even though teachers went a full week last week and the students only came 3 days, this week has been more exhausting.  Hello, early bedtime!

ONE

Last week, a sweet student brought me a cupcake and this week a different student brought me an iced sugar cookie from a local bakery.  Oh my goodness it was so good!  I love the iced sugar cookies from this place!  (I really I think I need to take this up as a hobby and learn how to ice sugar cookies!)

Ol Shaneyfelt and I went 4 wheeler riding in the undeveloped part of our subdivision Tuesday night.  I joked that we looked so redneck riding, but regardless, we had a blast and felt like a couple of kids ha!  I love that we have so much fun together 🙂


THREE
I bought this new candle a few weeks ago while shopping in the downtown area of my mom’s town.  I’ve been waiting to burn it because I didn’t want to use it all–isn’t that crazy!? I finally talked some sense into myself and have been burning it all week, and I haven’t regretted it at all.  It smells so good–just like summer–and it’s been perfect for the last few weeks of summer!

This article on the Prosperity Gospel and a Kenyan pastor’s redemption from it is an eye-opener.


FIVE

I read The Light Between Oceans a few years ago with my book club.  My heart broke while reading it, but I loved it and couldn’t wait to find out what happened in the end.  The movie comes out next month and you better believe I’ll be there!  Dustin has some work weekends in his hunting club and I feel like a Saturday movie is in store for me while he’s away 🙂

Happy Friday, y’all!   

 I hope your week has been good because this has been me…

Not even kidding!  Wednesday was our first day with students, and I remember finally getting to sit down at lunch and thinking that if I could just close my eyes for a second I would fall asleep.  If only, right? 🙂  


I actually stayed up late last night because of…
I’m either older or paying more attention this year because his events have been way more appealing to me this year than any other Olympics.  Who’s with me?

And speaking of Michael Phelps, if you haven’t seen his Under Armor ad yet, watch it RIGHT NOW.  A few people shared it on Facebook and I sent it to my sister and dad–it’s really inspiring!


Aaaaannnnd this will be me this afternoon…
…after I finish with car duty 😉  #lifeofateacher

Have a great weekend!!!  See you back here on Monday with a recap of my exciting weekend ha!

Friday Favorites: End of Summer Edition!

Friday’s are normally my favorite day of the week except when school starts back today!  All teachers in my system report back today and kids don’t come until Wednesday.  So depending on what time you’re reading this blog, I’m either getting ready for school or sitting through a training on dyslexia.  #teacherlife  One thing I am excited about today is getting to be with all of my teacher friends again 🙂

Today I’m linking up with Andrea to show you a few favorite moments from this past week!

 When possible this week, I’ve really tried to soak up the fact that I could do absolutely nothing during the day.  Catching up on the Real Housewives of New Jersey while covered up in a blanket (and reading blogs) was definitely a favorite moment!



 It rained one day while I was home and it really made me think about how much I love rainy days.  Actually, let me clarify.  I do not like rainy days when I have to get out in the rain and be somewhere….like school.  But I love rainy days at home and I wanted to capture my last rainy summer day at home!



 Okay, so this may not be a favorite, but I definitely had one of those moments where I forgot I had clothes in the dryer when a freshly washed load needed to go in the dryer.  So instead of letting these run a little more to get the wrinkles out, I placed them on the bench to let the others dry.  After taking the other load out of the dryer, I put these back in and didn’t fold them until yesterday.  Anyone else have those moments where you are unmotivated to fold any clothes?


 Beautiful sunny mornings working on my study through 1 Peter are a favorite.  If you’ve never done a Jen Wilkin study, you must!  It’s intense, but I have learned so much.



 My best friend lives too far from me, and we are still dreaming of the day when we can live in the same town again.  Until then, we’ll schedule random weekdays to eat lunch and catch up.  So thankful for her friendship!



 I love receiving snaps from my husband!  I was unable to go to a doctor’s appointment with him, so he snapped me to let me know where he was eating a snack after his appointment ha!  Life with him is a favorite!


 Excuse the cleavage in this picture (my sister pointed that out to me), but getting back into running and training for a half marathon that’s in December has been a favorite (sometimes ha) this summer!



I babysat this cutie and his baby brother last night–always a favorite!  We played on Snapchat and his favorite was being a puppy!
