September

I'm ashamed that it has been so long since my last blog! This month has whizzed by in the blink of an eye. Hopefully, I can catch everyone up everything. First, we are finally settled into our new home! New furniture has been purchased (pics soon, I promise), pictures have been hung, and we are slowly coming to the relaxation that we do in fact, live here. For a while, Tucker and I felt as if we were living in a hotel! Ha! We still have a few more things to do such as, purchasing lamps and curtains, but for the most part it feels like home.

We also had the pleasure of hosting our first dinner guests in our new home. We invited Grandaddy John and Carol over to visit and see our new home. It was so nice to actually have the room to entertain! We really enjoyed our night with them. We can't wait to have them back over!

And if you haven't noticed, football season has officially started! Ha! I can't believe we are almost a month into the season. This weekend we hosted our big tailgate. We usually do one or two a year. It was so nice to spend time with our wonderful family and friends. My sweet friend Elizabeth, her husband Loftin, and their precious son, Reese shared the day with us. Reese was so fun! He played football till he dropped, literally! Elizabeth reported he didn't even make it to the car that afternoon before he was sound asleep. What a cutie!!! We can't wait to do it again!

School is wonderful thus far! I have a very sweet group of 17. I love third grade! Everyday I'm more sure that I made the right decision to move back down. I miss my dear friend,Virginia though! It was so nice to be able to run across the hall when I needed her. It was also nice to have someone to plan with and bounce ideas off of. And things will never be the same in third grade without Leslie and Bria. They were my calm in the storm. Luckily. I still get to chat with them often. As much as I miss my old teammates, I must say that I'm loving working with my new teammates. Fresh faces and fresh energy can be a very good thing! Well, that about sums it up for now! Whew! This blog is jam packed! I'll do my best not to wait so long next time.
