A season of change....

Is it really already November? I can feel it....this fall/winter season is going to be a season of change.

It was a crazy, busy, whirlwind type week in our household. We did get a few chances to have some much needed quality time. I was gearing up for many things...one being my formal observation at school. :) Little did I know, that my beloved support teacher would be making a job change and that it would happen in a matter of days. I knew she was interviewing for a "perfect fit" job opportunity at the hospital. I had a hunch that she got the job...she is awesome. BUT, I never imagined that we would find out that she got the job on Thursday and be told that the next day would be her last one with us. We both cried...and so did the kids! :(


You wouldn't think we would let her leave us without a proper going away/surprise party, did you? :)


On our way to breakfast on Saturday morning! Nice hair, right!?


I attempted a Thanksgiving wreath.


And spray painted some pumpkins a pretty gilver color.


And moved furniture and pictures around in my house. Because that is what I do best when change (stress) happens in my life. :)

Oh, I even changed our kitchen chalkboard. This is only the 3rd time.

November 2011 (My marker is old and wouldn't cooperate...I might just have to erase later and start over.)


I have an equally busy week this week...I have the last night of my Monday night Bible Study...Beth, Priscilla, and Kay are going to be speaking together!!! I have a Junior Service League Meeting and our first Bargain Bazaar meeting of the year, and the second night of our new Marriage Bible Study...which is great so far! Plus a whole lot more!!! :)

I hope everyone has a fantastic Monday!!

Pumpkin Carving and Neighborhood Fun!

We finally got around to carving our almost rotten pumpkin this year. We sat on the front porch, carved it and passed out candy. We weren't overly motivated to carve it this year, and Matt ended up doing a pine tree. Ha! Then we went down the street to our friends house...they always have a Halloween get together...dinner, relaxing, and then the kids go out and trick-or-treat. We have the best neighborhood for trick-or-treating. You will go through so much candy! We enjoyed laughing with friends!







I'm thankful for a beautiful fall night!

Lights, Candy, Trick or Treat!

I already have every single light turned on in our house! And the candy is waiting by the door in a basket! Happy Halloween, Y'all!

I have tons of fall and pumpkin decorations that I keep up until Thanksgiving. I decided to take pictures of some of our Halloween decor before it comes down tomorrow.

Downtown, Fall Festival, Family, and Home Improvement!

I HEART my downtown! Mama and I spent Saturday out on the bricks, it is our 3rd annual Halloween Sale Shopping Day! :) I loved seeing the pink ribbons on the benches and the Plantation Wildlife Art Festival signs up! Seeing lots of my favorite store owners was a plus!



Oh! And seeing these too!


Matt and I worked a quick shift at our FBC's Fall Festival!



We went home and ate chili with our family! (Daddy and Bill were not thrilled with picture taking time, they ruined all the ones that I had of Mama too! :(...at least Miranda and Matty were nice.) Then Billy, Miranda, Matt and I went to get ice cream!





Then we got ready for a few home improvement projects thanks to Daddy!! EXCITING!



I am already looking forward to next weekend!

What a week!

I just about took a picture a day this week! I also found some random pictures on my iPhone that I never posted. So....pictures, pictures, pictures!

My week started out GREAT! I had the sweetest surprise waiting for me on Monday morning. I LOVE it! Bible Study was great as well, refreshing as always. Plus it was silly sock day. Kindergarten is so fun!




Wednesday I got to wear a hat to school. It is always a great day when you can throw your hair in a ponytail and hat! Somehow...I ended up in a mixture of camo, pearls, toms, and Dior perfume. HA!


We finally took our church directory pictures. They were so cheesy, but we did get one good one.


Thursday I about had a nervous breakdown (I'm just being honest) and that really doesn't happen all that often, especially lately. I was just soooo overwhelmed. It just hit me like a ton of bricks. Anyone that talked to me on that day knew that my mind was all over the place, because I literally couldn't even complete a sentence. I felt much better later that night after I was a good wife and cooked supper for Matt, I got some things checked off my to-do list, created a new spreadsheet of tasks that need to be done, and felt more in control of my emotions. Thank you, Jesus. :) I also love that my awesome hubby heard in my voice over the phone that I was going to need some extra moral support to get through the night! :)


Friday I was a leopard for Halloween. My VSU student was a zebra. Haha! :) We had a great day, and were exhausted after the festivities were over.



Now for the random pictures I found...

Yep, I made PINK cinnamon rolls for breakfast on the morning of Homecoming...in honor of October being breast cancer awareness month.


Carrie Beth working really hard on her admissions essay to earn her Specialist!! There is just something about that table and VSU schoolwork. I don't know what it is...but it helps her complete her assignments! :) I'll admit that I spent plenty of grad school nights with work spread out all over it too.


Hope y'all are enjoying a beautiful late October weekend! I know I am!!
