Weekend Recap

Weekend Recap!

Anyone else feel the same way?

I literally feel like my weekend wasn’t even a weekend because I was so incredibly busy.  And because of that, I have zero pictures from Friday.  Let me just recap Friday: 3 hour dyslexia training (I actually loved it and learned so much about dyslexia), work in classroom, lunch, 1 hour meeting, work in classroom, home by 5:30, cook supper, fall asleep on couch before the US walks in to the opening ceremony.  #teacherlife


 I woke up Saturday morning to a text from my co-teacher/friend Hailey wanting to know if I wanted to run with her that morning.  Running with someone is always better than running alone in my opinion, so I hopped out of bed and met up with her.  As we were running back to our cars, we ran into two of our other friends/co-workers who were out walking.  Naturally, we had to stop and take a selfie to document 🙂
 My sister went with me to go buy another pair of OTBT shoes (the ones I bought) and to look for another pair of jeans.  Y’all, I’ve got a post coming about jean shopping because I have had the hardest time buying blue jeans!  I guess it’s because I haven’t bought actually blue jeans in a very long time–only white or colored–so I’ve got a few opinions about jean shopping that I’ve learned from my exhaustive search.  Good news–I found a pair!


I had a wedding to go to Saturday night with my mom because Dustin wouldn’t be able to make it.  
 I wore this dress and received a ton of compliments!  (I would link it, but it’s sold out)
 Don’t you love the side detailing?



 Mom had her hair done earlier on Saturday, so of course we had to take a picture driving to the wedding haha!



 My sister, Mom, and me!


Sunday was open house at school.  Open house is where students walk around with their parents meeting their new teachers and learning where all of their classes are located.
 I took a quick picture of my door.  I painted it with a chalk paint, and every month I like to change out the quotes.  I’m always so incredibly blown away by the amount of students I get to meet during Open House.  Knowing that God has placed these individual students in my class for an entire year under my responsibility is amazing and a little scary.  I pray every day that God helps me to love the students who need love the most.  You know, it’s always easy to love the sweet students who do everything you ask them to do.  But then there’s students who make it difficult some days to love them the way they should be loved, and sometimes those kids come from really bad home situations.  I pray that God grants me patience with my students and that they know that I really do love them!



Then I rushed home to put dinner in the crockpot.  When I was planning out our meals for the week, I picked pretty much all crockpot meals.  The kids start back to school on Wednesday, so I’ll just be in survival mode the rest of the week!

We finished the night watching the Olympics 🙂


Do you have any good tips for buying blue jeans?  Any favorite brands/stores to buy them?

Weekend Recap!!

Happy Monday, girls!  I have missed y’all and I am so glad to be back!  Lots of things have happened over the past few weeks, and I’ll definitely be filling y’all in this month.

But for now, I want to review this past weekend!  Can you believe it’s already August?!  Sadly, today is my last Monday off of work, and it’s back to school I go on Friday!  (And I’m so not ready haha!)

Onto this past weekend…

FRIDAY
I did nothing picture-worthy Friday during the day, and honestly I forgot to take pictures, too. That’s what happens when you take a blogging break and aren’t going around taking pictures of everything you do ha!

I did laundry, cleaned, and read.  I told Dustin that I wanted us to have an at-home date night that night, so we ordered pizza and watched The Big Short on Netflix.  It was a fantastic movie!!  I learned so much–and it was also a little infuriating to see what big businesses/banks get away with.  If you’ve watched it, what were your thoughts during the movie?  And did you understand everything?
 Side note: Our TV isn’t picking up Netflix, so we’re forced to watch it on the laptop #firstworldprobs


SATURDAY

As I was leaving the house to go on a run Saturday morning, D was already up and working at stripping and sanding the last chair for our breakfast table.  We bought this set off of Craigslist before we got married.  Before we moved into our new house, he stripped, sanded, and restained the table and 5 chairs from a cherry to a mahogany –I still needed the 6th chair to do my grad school homework at the old apartment!  So a year later, he finally gets to the very last chair!!

And since I still wasn’t in the habit of taking pictures, after running I met my little sister at Kroger to do some shopping for our older sister’s going away party that was mid-day Saturday.  We had such a great time with family and are really going to miss Stefanie!

We stayed at Rachel and Nick’s house talking after the party was over and got home later than we had expected.  Our Saturday night went like this….
I’m reading a new book and Dustin is using my iPad watching a football documentary on Netflix.  #goals?


SUNDAY

Sunday morning was church 🙂

After church we had a mini-photo shoot before leaving to go furniture shopping.
 Real life, y’all


We took a side trip to Costco afterwards and seeing this Halloween decoration in their store makes me so happy for fall weather to get here!

 A sneak peak of dinner–I’ll share the recipe soon!


…And more Netflix Sunday night.  So ready for this documentary to be finished!  #pleaseonlyhaveoneseason

Weekend Recap!

Do you ever have a weekend where you feel like you need another weekend to recover?  That’s how I feel about this past weekend!  Saturday night I told Dustin how tired I was and it wasn’t even 9 PM and I’ve done nothing!  I told him I was tired from having nothing to do all day haha.

I’m starting our weekend on Thursday night when we relaxed on the couch and caught up on the last two episodes of Southern Charm.  I had been waiting on the dinner party at Thomas’s house since the first episode started out with that scene.  My thoughts on the end of the season:  I don’t like Landon, Cameron has turned into a mean girl, Katherine will always be crazy, Thomas too, Whitney is weird, Patricia is condescending but in a hilarious way, and Craig and Naomi are my all time favorites!
Friday morning I ran.  We’ve been under a heat advisory the entire weekend so even though it was below 80 at 7:15 in the morning, the humidity was at 3,000% so it made for a miserable and short 2 mile run.
 It was way too hot to take a picture outside!


Then to pass the time since D was at work, I went shopping.  I got two great tops from LOFT, a table runner from Home Goods, and ate lunch at my favorite grocery store, Earthfare!
 Lunch there never disappoints–I just wish it were closer to home.

Friday night we had Dustin’s work picnic at a local water park.  Remember how I said at 7:15 that morning the humidity was already at 3,000%??  Well, by 7:15 that night, it had increased to 603,475,927%.  Seriously.  I was miserable, in a romper, and way too hot to even take pictures.  I was ready to get home and take yet another shower and wash my hair yet again.


Saturday I went with my sister to pick up the dog she’s going to be fostering.  While we were out, we stopped at her friend’s new tiny home to see it.  I think she said it was around 400 sq ft?  This was my first tiny home to see in person!  The inside is SO cute and decorated how I would decorate.  I love her tiny home, but I could never live in one–Dustin would never fit!
Saturday night wasn’t picture-worthy.  I cooked dinner.  Dustin got home and we ate.  We both sat in the living room to be together but doing separate things–he watched the TCU and Coastal Carolina baseball game, and I watched Netflix on the laptop.  I’m sure laid back weekend nights become picture-worthy once we have children, right?

Sunday morning was church.  I wanted to capture what my hair looks like right after I tease it.  Next time I’ll leave it just like that 🙂  Isn’t it so attractive?

There was a bridal tea after church, so Rachel and I rode together.  Can you see how much she copies me?  Similar sunglasses, similar dress style, both wearing long necklaces and our OTBTs.
Just kidding!  
(Rachel will be so made that I wrote that haha!  But it’s my blog and I can!)



Then we met up with Dustin a few hours later after he got off work to eat Mexican.  Rachel and I spent a lot of time together this weekend, and I wouldn’t change that for anything.  I’m so happy that we live close and are so close!
