Fall Break

I absolutely love fall break! I had a pretty busy first day, and I was in bed by my normal school night bedtime :) When my husband first purchased our house, my best friend Brooke and I were so excited that we would finally have a scrapbook room to make as big of a mess in as we wanted and not have to clean it up every time we were done scrap-booking.  I wanted to paint it a 'fun' color since my mom would have never gone for anything loud in her house, so we chose neon green. It was fun while it lasted, but 2 years later it was time for a change.

Before -excuse the mess I'm cleaning out!!

The closet before

I started cleaning out and though I am sick and tired of this blinding green color, I think I will go to Lowes!!

After browsing the paint for quite some time, I chose Lyndhurst Timber. I thought maybe the once scrapbook room, now office/dog room could use a little manly color. I spend the rest of the day cleaning out and painting the room. Not too bad for day one of fall break, but we still have a long way to go!

did a little re-arranging

much better!

Oh and the best part was when my husband came home. He took some bills into the office and said "oh you put the dogs right beside each other"... and that was it! After dinner I asked if he noticed anything else, and he thought and said "you moved the computer desk over some". I laughed and asked if THAT was all. He thought for what seemed like 5 minutes, walked back into the room, looked around a while and then said "OH you painted". What a typical man!

Don't live too fast

I can't believe it is already fall, my absolute most favorite time of the year! I have been blessed to have been given the opportunity for a long-term sub job at Morgan County Elementary School, so the craftiness and blogging  has dwindled down once again. I feel like this job has been the opportunity of a life time, and I am sad that it is half way over. I believe whole heartily that I was given this opportunity and position for a reason. Even though I am unsure of the reason at this time; I trust that God has a plan for me that is better than anything than I can imagine. By talking with other people who work at the school and people who have tried to get long-term positions there I know it was nothing else other than God as to why I am where I am.

Last weekend Jock and I hosted a couples shower for our friends Brittany and Kyle. I can't believe their wedding will be here in less than a month! I am so glad to be able to be a part of her special day! I hope that her wedding is everything that she dreams it will be plus some.( And she hasn't even had to be bridezilla yet!) I pray that they will continue to be best friends and have a love for one another that will grow last their entire life time. Jock and I have only been married for 2 short years, but those two years have been the fastest of my life. I hope to never take a single day, hour or minute forgranted that we get to spend with one another. We can't wait to celebrate their wedding and dance the night away with them. We love yall!
