Moving Right Along

Can you believe it's almost October?! I certainly cannot. We are a full month and more into school and moving at a very fast pace. Days are long but seem to get a little better everyday. I think it's because I am able to start my days with pumpkin spice lattes, wear riding boots and have football to look forward to on the weekends! 

Last weekend I headed to Raleigh Friday night to visit my old roommate. I was very surprised by the biker week that seemed to be going on downtown.. interesting to say the least. Saturday was time to put  on my purple and gold and head to Chapel Hill for the football game!! I met my parents as well as some friends there. I had the best time even though the score wasn't quite the best. (: 

We have another game this weekend against UTEP and I am beyond ready. It's been a month since we had a home football game!! 

Such a true statement.. 

School is something else. My kids are absolutely wonderful, non stop talking and all. (: 

This week we learned about community helpers and had a visit from a nurse, firefighter, truck driver, and police man! We got to tour an 18 wheeler (so fun) and tomorrow we are having a parade around school in our community helper costumes!! Fun fun!!

Tomorrow is jean day at school, payday, and it's Friday so I know I am going to have a great day. I hope yours is fabulous as well! 

What I'm Loving

Happy Wednesday! 

We are HALF way through the week!!

I haven't linked up to WILW in  a while so I'm thinking this post is overdue. 

The perfect fall weather that instantly puts me in a good mood

Pumpkin Spice Lattes from Starbucks. 

I know I talk about them all the time on here but they are just that good!

Southern Perfection

Melt my hear. How sweet!

Fall=Football

In the south fall and football seem to go hand in hand. Saturdays are spent tailgating unless there is an away game in which Saturdays are still spent tailgating, just in front of a T.V. (: At ECU it has been said our town doesn't tailgate, we throw a city wide rager. Not something to brag about but definitely true. On game day don't plan on doing anything that doesn't involve the football game. It doesn't matter where you go in town traffic is backed up, purple and gold is EVERYWHERE, flags are flying, pigs are cooking and pirates are tailgating until the cannon signals the start of the game. Football was a huge part of my college experience. I am so lucky/excited that I get to enjoy another year, this time as alumni, cheering on my team!

Browsing on Pinterest I came across this photo which for some reason reminding me of high school football games. 

Coming from a high school that won the State Championship several years in a row it's safe to say football was a HUGE part of my life then as well. (we can even bring it back to middle school actually..) haha

anyway the point is. Fall is officially (pretty much) here and I'm so excited for game time!!

I got SO many loving hugs from my students today. It brings a smile to my face just thinking about it!
