Life has been awesome lately. The weather is perfect, Thanksgiving is almost here, and CHRISTMAS is next month! Basically this is the most wonderful time of the year, exactly like the song says. I LOVE the months October, November, and December. There is a different feeling in the air. Cheesy? Probably. But you all know what I’m talking about because it’s true. Halloween this year was pretty fun! We didn’t have any plans until last minute. We ended up going to a Halloween party at a friend’s house. We sat around a fire and ate hobo dinners! Mmm so yummy.
School is going good! I am taking classroom management, integrated literacy, educational psychology, and school and society. It is definitely my hardest semester in college so far. Makes sense… because now I’m taking NAU classes instead of CGCC…
Nothing that exciting has happened since I last posted on here 3 months ago… just enjoying married life! Busy with school and work! I love my job. It seriously rocks! I am an assistant preschool teacher. We have the cutest kids in there. They say the funniest things! I have a story to tell Thomas everyday about something a kid said or did.
So Thomas and I are really stoked for our first Christmas as a married couple… so we couldn’t wait to decorate! Haha we put up our Christmas tree a couple nights ago. My parents gave us their old one, which was super awesome! We bought cheap ornaments at Ross and Goodwill. I have randomly been on this Christmas craft kick, which is weird because I am usually not a craft/creative person. I think it’s just because Thomas is super creative and loves to do projects, so he’s rubbing off on me a little :) Which is great! Christmas decorations can be expensive. I made a tree skirt, little Christmas trees, a snowflake to go on our door, and Thomas and I made a star to go on top of the tree. Some people think that we are silly for decorating so early and that we’re forgetting about Thanksgiving, but I don’t care! Plus Thanksgiving is only one day… and I love Thanksgiving for sure! But I don’t really have any Thanksgiving decorations and I like Christmas ones better haha. But I am super excited to see family and eat lots of turkey and mashed potatoes. Mmm and pumpkin pie… So delicious. Thomas and I are also so excited for Black Friday!! I don’t know what we’re going to get… nothing super crazy or expensive because we aren’t going to spend a lot for Christmas… but we’ll probably get things we need, like towels and stuff. Black Friday shopping is one of my favorite things. Something about seeing crazy people fighting over items and being up in the middle of the night… It’s just great :) can’t wait to go with my hubby this year!
My sister and her husband live in Texas, and she’s having a BABY!!! Soon! She’s due December 5th. My last day of school is December 12th, so I am flying to see them and cute baby Payton on December 13th! I couldn’t be more excited! I wish Thomas was coming with me… I will miss him… we’ve never been apart for a night yet since we’ve been married… but I’m only going to be gone for like 4 days. I am super excited to see my new niece! And see my sister and Nick of course… I am also excited to see my Aunt who lives close by them. I’ve never been to Texas so I’m excited to just see what it’s like there. I hear it’s really pretty.
Now for some pictures :)
Halloween! We last minute dressed up as nerds... lame I know. Stephen and Brian dressed up at Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan.
