Another September Week

This week was busy busy busy! Jake enjoyed his last low-chaos week, since tomorrow he starts his semester at BYU-Idaho. He'll actually be taking a class on campus this semester (for only the second time; he's usually only online) and balancing that while working full time is definitely going to be a challenge. Especially since I'll be student teaching, so I won't have as much time to "pick up the slack" that happens when Jake's schedule is extremely busy. We're going to be up to our ears in work, and trying to keep our heads above water when it comes to dishes, keeping the house clean, laundry, and of course Zoe. Bring it on, Fall Semester!!

Teachers can take mirror selfies, too!

This week, my paid substitute position comes to an end and I officially begin my student teaching! That means I won't be substituting other elective classes in the REC, I'll just have my own "permanent" 8th grade Creativity class, plus time with my mentor teacher in her Language Arts classroom. I'm so excited to get officially started on the path that I've chosen for myself, and to see what this semester has in store for me!

A Rough Week


FALL IS HERE!!!! Well I guess not technically til the end of September, but I'm considering it fall right now because I'm so DONE with summer weather. Plus I'm back in school, so that means it's gotta be fall! I love fall because of so many reasons...mainly because all the bugs are dead and can't attack me anymore! 

This last week was another busy one with school Monday-Friday, and Wednesday was ROUGH. Wednesday was a really rough day for reasons I won't go into, but yeah. It was hard. I cried in front of my fellow student teachers, which was embarrassing. PRAY FOR ME haha.

Other than that, this week was decent. I'm so happy we have school off on Monday for Labor Day cuz I NEED a long weekend! Teachers work really hard, dude. I hope no one I know ever takes them for granted again. 

Tuesday was our 2 year anniversary! I can't
wait to see what these photos look like when
we're old and gray!
