Fall fun!

Well I know it's not officially fall until Saturday, but it sure does feel like it! I love this season and we have so many fun things planned this fall! I can't get enough of football, Starbucks, runs in the cooler weather and much more!

We have a very busy next few months but I could not be more excited! This coming weekend Mitch is working and I am doing some last minute stuff on our house. We are getting our appliances delivered thursday and carpet Friday!!!!

Over the next few months we will be back in Bentonville a lot (I love NW Arkansas in the fall).  We are going to my father-in-law's grand opening for his new apple store, craft fairs, races and of course a Hogs game! We always try to make it to two or so razorback games a year and this year we may only make one. Tickets went on sale Wednesday, August 1st and I was at the computer at 8:30am getting us tickets! We are going to the Kentucky game and because we didn't know Mitch's schedule we just bought one game for now. We may try to make it to another but most likely just that one. If we weren't in the process of moving into our house we would go to more. We also have tickets to the Thunder basketball game which is coming up next month!

I am kinda bummed because craft fair weekend and OSU homecoming are the same weekend :( My family always spends that weekend in Stillwater for the walk around and the game. And that is also my fall break, so I am glad to have that time off. I am trying to decide what to do, but most likely I will be going to craft fairs.. I can go to an OSU game anytime and I look forward to craft fairs all year ha!

We are also going to be making multiple trips to Shawnee. One of our good friends is now the head tennis coach and I am excited to go watch (and it gives me a reason to eat at Vans and Phoniex). It is so nice that it is only an hour and fifteen minute drive. It makes it easy to just go down for a day.

The weather here this week is wonderful! Todays high is 75 and I just love it (especially for recess ha). My job has finally settled down and the kids are in a routine which is so nice. After the first few weeks, I really didn't know how I was going to do this all year. But there is nothing I would rather be doing and when I get to school every morning and I am greeted with hugs and see all the kids smiling faces, it reminds me why I want to do this so bad.  I know these kids are only 5 and 6 years old, but I pray every day I make an impact on their life. They bring me so much joy and remind me of the simple things in life. But.. I am looking forward to my breaks ha! I love being at work, but all the days teaches get off- they deserve every one of them! My fall break we will be in Bentonville and Thanksgiving break we are going to Colorado!!! I cannot wait to be in the mountains for a week!

Mitch is off until this weekend, so we are preparing the house for the appliances and carpet. I can't believe we may be moving in this time next week! Since we will be in Bentonville the next few weekends, we will most likely move in slowly during the week. Mitch can do stuff on his day off and I can help when I get off at 3. We are hoping to have our bed, clothes and kitchen stuff in so we can start living there, then we can do the unpacking/decorating little by little.

This post really has no meaning, I am just really excited for fall and all the fun things we having coming up!!  I hope y'all are enjoying this beautiful weather and have a wonderful week!!!
