Hello! Well, we are right back into the swing of things 'round these parts. John just got back from his annual business trip to Tennessee and I just completed my first full week of school.

I'm still enjoying my kids and my coworkers, and I'm really feeling like a contributing member of the 7th grade team. We had Back to School night on Thursday and we had a great turnout. My partner teacher, who teaches Language Arts and Social Studies, and I presented together, which was nice to have that support. Students have recently been separated into their math classes and I'm glad we're getting into teaching and learning. I have high hopes for science, too, and hope the kids enjoy doing it this year.

In other news, this weekend has some things to look forward to. John is at work right now catching up from being gone, but tonight we've got a hot date to Cirque du Soleil at the Tacoma Dome. Tomorrow we're planning on Doin' The Puyallup fair with my sister and her boyfriend, and John's sister and her husband.

Also, while John was gone all of the furniture was delivered for our living room. We still need to get nightstands, lamps, and a full-length mirror, but we're getting there. Pictures to come when we assemble everything. Here's what we got:
Picture
Dolce Tufted Headboard in Oatmeal (Target): $250
Picture
Dolce Lounge Chair (Target): $127
Picture
West Elm Organic Pintuck Duvet Cover and Pillowcases in Sea Spray: $120
Picture
West Elm Narrow-leg wood bed frame: $299
I also got 2 72" white floating shelves to put under the high windows in our dining room. I'd like to put vintage plates, wine bottles, picture frames, John's mason jars, etc... and change it out for the seasons.

Very exciting and lots to look forward to! We are so thankful for where we're at right now.

Thanks for the shout out! The fair was fun with you guys, minus the downpour. Also, you said you got the furniture for your living room when you meant bedroom. But I think the pictures make that obvious... can't wait to see that stuff in person!

Did you catch any Mutton Bustin' at the Fair? Which Grange display did you vote for this year?
I like your choice of bedroom decor. Can't wait to see the end product!
Quit having so much fun with those kids at school and start cracking the whip.

That is all. For now.

Love you.

I'm truly enjoying the design and layout of your website. It's a very easy on the eyes which makes it much more enjoyable for me to come here and visit more often. Did you hire out a designer to create your theme? Great work!
