Happy Halloween!

This weekend our friends Zach and Amy got married. The ceremony was outside and it was about 40 degrees but it made for great memories. Seth was the best man and it was nice to see him in something other than sweatpants on his day off! Notice Amy's dad and his gun.

My hair did look nice but due to the rain and the wind it ended up looking like a wild mess.

I have been very busy at school, we had parent-teacher conferences Thursday night and we have them again Monday night. We also had a fourth grader at our school go missing on Wednesday and was found dead Friday afternoon. It will be a hard week at school, especially for those 4th graders who were friends with her.

Fall Decorations: Minimal but Tasteful

We went to a bonfire this weekend and had a lot of fun. I was just excited I had enough energy to last until 10:00PM. It was also fun to hang out with people from the Police Department who I don't get to see that often.We also went to the pumpkin patch and cut down (well Seth cut down) corn stocks to put outside. I will let Seth post pictures of the outside of our house since he did all the work. We are getting excited for the colder weather even though we are very busy until the 1st of the year.

Why three you might ask?

The New Fence!

The new fence has been in for a little while and the dogs are finally getting used to using their doggy door. It makes it so nice. We don't have to open a door they just go down in the basement and out they go!

Aspen is shown sporting her Ottumwa Bulldogs shirt, showing her support.

School is going good, we are getting into the routine of how the day should look and we are adjusting to the new school.

Have a great Labor Day weekend!

Summer is over

The new school year starts Wednesday for new teachers. Everyone comes back in a week from Wednesday and the students come on the 19th! Here are some pictures of my new classroom.

Before
AND AFTER!

I am very excited to welcome my students. Once these two weeks of meetings are over I will be even more excited!

Just a normal Saturday!

Aspen and Bella being lazy on this rainy Saturday. Bella loves to sit on the back of the couch (like a cat) to watch who is coming and going from the street. She needs to know everything that is happening!
