These past few months have been generally quite calm, which is much appreciated. The summer ended with us being incredibly busy and school started up before I even had a chance to say goodbye to summer.
Our MN trip was incredibly fun and we got to see SO many people. Right after we came back, Dan and Laura jumped in the car and they did a family road trip out to PA. It was the first time we had family stay at our new house. We LOVED it! We went to the beach and Dylan got to see the ocean for the first time. Andy and I had to work so they took a couple days and went to DC. Then we had a little more time with them back here before they left. It was so fun to have the nephews around and really get to hang out with them.
School started in the midst of that and somehow I am still just as busy in December as I was at the beginning of the year. I am teaching 4th grade this year at the same school. The best part about it is that I am on the same floor in the same hallway with all of the people I became friends with last year. It hasn't felt like much of a transition, except for the fact that I'm teaching a new grade and learning all new material. I really like where I am and what I'm doing. I am so lucky to have found such a fantastic job as soon as I got out here!
We are settling into the house and we absolutely love it every single day. We are finding furniture that matches our style and the style of the house. We've done a few more little projects here and there. It's been fun to see the house and the yard in all of the different seasons.
We have traveled a little bit this fall. In September we went to California for my friends wedding. I loved driving up and down the coast and seeing the Pacific Ocean again. Palm trees are also fun to see. I got to go to Denver for Thanksgiving and see my perfect little niece, Brinley. That girl stole my heart in 2 seconds. What an absolute darling! It was hard to have such a short time with her. Good thing I have the summers off! I also went to New Jersey for a teaching conference and we went into New York for an evening. Then last weekend Andy and I went to Las Vegas. It was great to see the lights and hear the sounds of slot machines. There's something about that sound...
We will spend some time in MN over break, and then it's home sweet home for a LONG time. We are going to hunker down and start getting more family out to see the house and hang out in PA. My friend is coming in January and I can't wait to show her my life out here.
That being said, if anyone is heading out to the East Coast, please let us know! We have plenty of room and would love to have people come stay with us.
Happy Holidays, everyone!
