..:5 for FRIDAY!:..

welp, it is BACK TO SCHOOL! I have to admit, I am REALLY excited to get back in the classroom with all my new kiddies. I am also excited to get into a routine again. EVEN MORE exciting, WE ARE MOVING INTO OUR HOUSE!

WOO! Just typing all that makes me feel like I am going to be a chicken with my head cut off... but, I am ready!

This week, I am linking up to confess a few things...

1.  I am so excited to have a nice new bed!!!we are having all of our furniture delivered this coming week. I feel like a little kid on christmas. Hubs and I did tons of bed tests and decided on the KING! Woohoo!

2. We bought a lot of paint.  We didn't buy any samples... So, I hope it works because, I mean... A LOT of paint. So, I cannot  wait to see how this house turns out! Hubs and I are about to tackle this mostly on our own... send us some good thoughts.

3.oh, I chopped off 12 inches of my hair. It is kinda the best thing I ever did. I love it. If you follow on instagram, you probably saw the beaut. The biggest surprise was the amount of shampoo I did not need in the shower..#whoops

4. signing all the paperwork for our house was not as exciting as they make it seem on HGTV. I didn't leave with keys in my hand and we were sitting in the middle of Panera... but none of that matters now. However, if I were the title lady, I would at least bring you some balloons!

5. decorating my classroom is one of my most favorite things I do in my job. Next to having a bunch of little babes in tow, I love the redoing of a classroom and all the new supplies that comes along with it. I also feel like this could possibly be the best year ever at my job!

..:traveling:..

Well, with this being the start of the last week of summer, I am sad to say our trips away are coming to an end. We went out with a bang and had such an awesome 3 day getaway!

Last week, Michigan was fun. We were excited to get out of the house without the hubs having to lug around his studying materials. It was relaxing and we spent time with hubs sister which is always a plus. However, this week, our trip was even better!

This week we went up to Chautauqua and spent two wonderful nights at an ADORABLE b&b called Lakeside Bed and Breakfast. Seriously, go there. So cute, great breakfast, wonderful staff. We loved it all! I mean, look at this picture!

It is that beautiful, I promise.

And our room?! TO DIE FOR!!!

Our first day, we explored the cutest towns and decided to head down to the Chautauqa Institution. Now, the institution was BEAUTIFUL perhaps not our crowd of people, but still, so worth going into! It looks like something out of a movie set. We had a great lunch, people watched, the whole 9 yards. After our afternoon there, we headed back to our b&b for some wine and cheese... for real, this place=amazing.                                                          

We met the cutest couples, learned a lot about life and had some very deep conversations that I absolutely loved. Trips like this just make my heart so happy!

Friday, we woke up, checked out and headed down to Pittsburg to see our friends Drew and Greg. They threw a bomb-ass thai party IN THEIR LIVING ROOM! If you follow me on instagram, I apologize as you have already heard and seen all about this event. But for real, we have some talented friends. The food was so, so, so good and gluten free, too! They had literally transformed their home to resemble a traditional style of thai food, pillows and all!

We also went to the Churchworks Brewery, explored the downtown riverwalk area, went to an AWESOME cider house and had a great time seeing where they are at.

We were so excited to get home, however because... IT IS ALL OURS!! We move in this weekend and couldn't be happier about it :)!!! Here she is, in all her glory! SO excited to move in!!!!!

With all that being said, it is back to work for me! It has been a great summer but time to get my classroom all set and gear up for a new group of kinder babes to come on through!
